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 Rendezvous Navigation Engineer on Lunar Permanence, you will directly contribute to the development of the on-board rendezvous navigation software for our crewed and uncrewed lunar vehicles. The products developed provide Lunar lander vehicles with Software products to enable unprecedented crew and mass to surface capabilities. You will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your dedication and attention towards safe and reliable spaceflight. You will work directly with NASA and our National Team Partners as part of the Human Landing System (HLS) Sustaining Lunar Development (SLD) program. You will play a key role in developing the Lunar system that will return humans to the Moon and extend human presence permanently beyond the bounds of Earth.
We are looking for our engineers to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and dedication to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required!
Responsibilities:
Contribute to the development of rendezvous relative navigation algorithms, culminating with its deployment onto a target platform for realtime execution
Verify the navigation software implementation via closed loop and open Monte Carlo, and unit testing.
Contribute to the development and deployment of embedded software, including sensor I/O
Support the testing of embedded navigation software including sensor and sensor-data management using MATLAB/Simulink, C, and C
Support the development of vision-aided navigation and sensor fusion algorithms for relative spacecraft navigation
Support the development and execution of component-level navigation test programs, including sensor characterization, sensor modeling, and integrated on-vehicle testing
Embody the Blue Origin leadership principles
Minimum Qualifications:
B.S. or M.S. or equivalent experience in computer science, aerospace engineering, or related technical field with 3 years of proven experience
Shown experience in synthesis of state estimation algorithms and Kalman filters for spacecraft navigation

Blue Origin was founded in 2000 by Jeff Bezos with the vision to enable a future where millions of people are living and working in space to benefit Earth. Blue believes we must protect Earth by moving heavy industries that stress our planet into space, and enable humanity to access space to expand, explore, and find new energy and material resources. Then we can see a dynamic and abundant future for our grandchildrens grandchildren. There is no plan B for Earth. To enable this future, we must build a road to space to lower the cost of getting there. Blue is working on this today by developing... operationally reusable launch vehicles that are safe, reliable and highly available. Every launch vehicle is designed for human spaceflight from the beginning and able to ferry payloads to space. Join the mission to build a road to space - step by step ferociously. #GradatimFerociter
