At Blue Origin, we envision millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. We're working to develop reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion. Join our diverse team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight! This role is part of the Lunar Permanence business unit, which develops Blue Origin's multiple Blue Moon lander product lines. To further Blue Origin's mission of having millions of people living and working in space, we are building sustainable infrastructure for our transport of crew and cargo from Earth to the lunar surface. As a Ground Software Engineer in Blue Origin's Lunar Transportation program, you will help build, test, and integrate the software required for the Lunar Transportation Mission Operations Centers used to fly lunar space vehicles. You will work closely with space vehicle and ground subsystem teams. You will be responsible for developing, testing, and deploying software that will enable Earth-based operators to perform mission-critical functions supporting Blue Origin operations, including flight/ground system integration and testing, mission activity planning, telemetry data processing and display, spacecraft system/health monitoring and fault detection, electronic procedures and command sequencing, and operations training. We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise and dedication to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission is required! Responsibilities include but are not limited to: Design, implement, test, verify and deploy mission operations, safety-critical software systems, ensuring the success of the overall Ground Data System (hardware/software) supporting space flight operations. Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, including engineers representing space vehicle systems, mission-control infrastructure, operations fields, and customers to define software requirements, architectures, and designs. Develop rapid prototypes to prove out concepts and quantify technical risks. Produce and contribute to documentation for software architecture, design, verification plans, user manuals and training material. Follow software development processes that meet Blue Origin and customer-required standards to ensure software safety and reliability. Support frequent update cycles in support of pre-flight testing, mission validation exercises and events related to operations training. Support mission control software operations responsibilities (maintenance, flaw correction, improvements) during operator training; ground data system verification, validation, and certification; spacecraft integration; and flight. Integrate software components, build, and run unit-level and system-level tests, validate using Software-in-the-Loop and Hardware-in-the-Loop simulators, and release certified code.
