Senior Test Integration Engineer – HLS Test Definition Verified today

Role Overview

As a Test Definition Responsible Engineer for Blue Origin's Human Landing System (HLS), you'll drive integrated test definition across programs, elements, and partners to support landing astronauts on the Moon. You'll act as connective tissue between test groups, systems and vehicle test teams, mission operations, and external partners, owning integrated and joint test plans and ensuring traceability through to certification.

This is a senior technical integrator role for someone who thrives at the seams between organizations. You'll own the definition of how HLS elements are tested together, close gaps between them, and carry an integrated test perspective from planning through production operations.

What You'll Do

• Serve as HLS test integrator and Responsible Engineer, driving test definition into integrated, joint, and interelement testing across all HLS elements
• Design and implement test planning and definition processes across the organization with ties to certification products
• Create and coordinate integrated and joint test plans across test beds, systems test, vehicle test, and mission operations, including end-to-end mission-level test solutions
• Assess interface documents (ICDs/IRDs) against test objectives to confirm requirements are traced appropriately and identify missing or ambiguous requirements
• Review engineering and design changes, participate in release cycles, and keep test definitions current across all data repositories
• Provide integrated master schedule (IMS) inputs and thread schedule and test dependencies across integrated product teams (IPTs)
• Own test data products end-to-end and drive test definition downstream into production test operations; identify test gaps including unique environments and cross-program test resource needs
• Interface with customer and partner elements on test coordination and insight, representing HLS in joint and integrated reviews
• Provide technical mentoring and lead cross-functional test efforts

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in engineering discipline (aerospace, mechanical, electrical, systems, or related)
• 8+ years of relevant experience in test engineering, systems test, integration and test, or verification engineering across the test design and execution lifecycle; advanced degree may substitute for a portion of experience requirement
• Demonstrated experience owning test planning, requirements verification, and integrated or system-level test definition with minimal oversight
• Working knowledge of interface management (ICDs/IRDs), requirements traceability and verification, and integrated master schedule dependencies
• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional technical efforts and coordinate across multiple organizations without direct authority
• Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum

Preferred Qualifications

• Advanced degree in engineering or technical discipline
• Human spaceflight, crewed vehicle, launch vehicle, or safety-critical and regulated industry experience (medical devices, nuclear, automotive)
• Experience integrating with NASA or major aerospace customer/partner, including customer oversight/insight processes and joint test coordination
• Experience defining or executing integrated, interelement, or joint end-to-end test campaigns across multiple elements or organizations
• Familiarity with verification and certification processes, hazard analyses/hazard reports, and test compliance/verification-artifact processes
• Proficiency with requirements management and modeling tools (DOORS, Jama, Cameo) and scheduling tools (MS Project, Primavera)
• Prior experience acting as test integrator or Responsible Engineer across organizational boundaries
• Demonstrated technical mentoring and ability to set technical direction for a test scope

Special Information

• Relocation provided
• Travel expected up to 25% of the time
• Interviews will include a technical assessment
• Team scope includes NASA Joint Test Definition and Blue-to-Blue Integrated Test Definition
