This role is part of the Blue Origin Engines business unit, where our focus is the design, development, manufacturing and testing of engines and propulsion systems. Built for multiple uses, our family of engines is powering the next generation of rockets for commercial, civil, national security and human spaceflight.

We are a diverse team of collaborators, doers, and problem-solvers committed to a culture of safety. As part of a passionate and accomplished team of avionics engineers, you will directly impact the future of space flight and help us make progress towards our mission of building the road to space through reusable rockets. Join us in advancing our vision of millions of people living and working in space to benefit Earth!

As part of the software development team, you will participate in the development and verification of avionics software components on Blue Origin rocket engines. You will share in the team’s impact on all aspects of re-usable, safety-critical component development and delivery. This hands-on position requires experience in developing, validating, and verifying safety embedded systems. Together, our teams deliver the embedded software that monitors and controls fully autonomous rocket engines.

We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required!

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

As a Sr. Embedded Software Engineer you will have hands on development responsibility to build and test real-time embedded software that controls rocket engines for human capable spacecraft. In this role, you will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams and participate deeply in all aspects of software development lifecycle (including developing verifiable requirements, creating/documenting/implementing software architectures and designs, write planning specifications, systems integration, test development and execution, issue resolution and software maintenance).
