Systems Engineer III — Lunar Human Landing System (HLS) Verified today
About the role
You will help define Blue Origin's Human Landing System (HLS) as part of the System Definition & Certification team. You will own requirements, safety, and verification for a complex, cross-cutting area of the system with minimal oversight, and set the technical plan for how that scope is proven out.
What you will do
- Own requirements decomposition, allocation, and traceability for a complex, cross-cutting area of the system with minimal oversight, and set the technical plan for how it is proven out
- Own the verification approach and its closure for your area, including verification requirements, methods, procedures, and evidence that requirements are met
- Leverage system safety work for your scope to drive real change in the system and disposition variances and deviations against a risk-based standard
- Perform root-cause analysis and corrective action on major-scope technical issues
- Serve as the systems-engineering point of contact for your area to design integrated product teams, and represent it at engineering and programme reviews
- Drive tool and process improvements to remove manual steps from the requirements and verification workflow
What you need
- B.S. in aerospace, systems, or a related engineering field (an advanced degree may substitute for a portion of the experience requirement)
- 5-8 years of experience solving systems-level engineering problems, with demonstrated work in requirements, verification, or system safety
- Demonstrated ownership of a complex, cross-cutting technical area with minimal oversight
- Working knowledge of interface management (ICDs, IRDs), requirements traceability and verification, and variance and deviation processes
- Ability to set a technical plan for a scope and drive it to closure across design teams without direct authority
- Proficiency with systems engineering tooling (Jama, DOORS, Cameo, Windchill) and a track record of working 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 another safety-critical or regulated industry (medical devices, commercial aviation, nuclear, automotive) owning requirements, verification, or safety analysis for a complex product
- Experience with hazard analyses, safety-critical requirements, and certification against a customer baseline
- History of introducing a tool or process improvement that was adopted by others and cut manual effort or error rate
- Experience as a systems-engineering point of contact interfacing with a customer or partner
The details
- Location: 4 locations (California, Colorado, Washington, and others)
- Travel: Up to 25% expected to support cross-site and partner coordination
- Relocation provided
- Multiple positions available
