Systems Engineer III — Lunar Human Landing System (HLS) Verified today
Role Overview
You will help define Blue Origin's Human Landing System (HLS) - the lander that will carry astronauts to the lunar surface and return them safely to Orion. As part of the System Definition & Certification team, you will work across requirements, system safety, verification and validation, and certification. 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.
Key Responsibilities
- Own requirements decomposition, allocation, and traceability for a complex, cross-cutting area of the system with minimal oversight, and set the technical plan for proving it out
- Own the verification approach and its closure for your area - verification requirements, methods, procedures, and the 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 program reviews
- Drive tool and process improvements to remove manual steps from the requirements and verification and validation workflow
Minimum Qualifications
- 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 IPTs without direct authority
- Proficiency with SE 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 (e.g., 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
