Systems Engineer II — Lunar Human Landing System (HLS) Verified today
About the Role
You will help define Blue Origin's Human Landing System (HLS), the lander that will carry astronauts to the surface of the Moon and return them safely to Orion. On the System Definition & Certification team, you will work across requirements, system safety, verification and validation, and certification. You will own clearly scoped pieces of that work: decomposing system requirements to lower levels, producing verification evidence, and dispositioning variances with guidance from senior engineers.
Responsibilities
- Own requirements decomposition, allocation, and traceability for a clearly scoped area of the system, with oversight from senior engineers
- Produce verification and validation products including verification requirements, methods, procedures, and closure evidence
- Contribute to system safety analyses (hazard analyses, FMECA/FTA) and disposition variances and deviations against team standards
- Identify and communicate technical risks and the design changes needed to close them
- Develop technical plans for your scope and support project planning with inputs to schedule, dependencies, and level of effort
- Contribute to tool and process improvements, and help automate manual steps in the requirements and V&V workflow
- Maintain the baseline in team tools (Jama, Windchill) through engineering release cycles
- Present your work to the broader team, program, and occasionally to the customer
Minimum Qualifications
- B.S. in aerospace, systems, or a related engineering field (advanced degree may substitute for a portion of experience)
- 2-5 years of experience in an engineering or technical role requiring systems-level problem solving, with some exposure to requirements, verification, or system safety
- Demonstrated ability to own a clearly scoped requirements or verification effort with some oversight
- Working knowledge of requirements traceability, verification methods, and interface documents (ICDs/IRDs)
- Experience with requirements and modeling tools (Jama, DOORS) and comfort in tool-driven workflows
- 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 an engineering or technical discipline
- Human spaceflight, crewed vehicle, launch vehicle, or other complex integrated-system experience
- Experience from a safety-critical or regulated industry (medical devices, commercial aviation, nuclear, automotive) where requirements, verification, or safety analysis are core to the work
- Familiarity with hazard analyses, variance and deviation processes, and verification-artifact management
- Proficiency with Jama, DOORS, or Windchill
- Exposure to certification processes or requirements verification against a customer baseline
