About the position

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 a part of the Test & Flight Operations team, providing centralized support to business units with a focus on the design, build, and maintenance of the ground systems, test, and launch facilities across multiple locations. As part of a hardworking team of diverse specialists, technicians, and engineers, you will apply standard engineering methods for the design, development, and verification of data collection and control systems used in either flight component testing or ground launch support facilities. This requires the development and release of artifacts following the facility lifecycle plan as well maintaining configuration management of operational systems. You will apply standard engineering techniques to design, develop, and maintain instrumentation or controls systems, automating manufacturing or similar processes through the use of instrumentation or controls systems. You will also develop new and modify existing PLC or HMI applications, interfaces, or embedded controls, participate in the set-up and commissioning of new facilities or upgrading of existing facilities, troubleshoot and resolve malfunctions, and make recommendations that will improve efficiency or quality of operations. Additionally, you will document specifications and operating procedures.
