This role is part of the Lunar Permanence business unit. To further Blue Origin's mission of having millions of people living and working in space, we are building the sustainable infrastructure for our transport of crew and cargo from Earth to the Lunar Surface.

As part of a hardworking team of diverse engineers, you will work as a Systems Engineer focused on Vehicle Safety Analysis on the Systems Engineering team for the lunar lander system. You will be responsible for performing safety analyses for the vehicle per the processes defined by the program's Safety and Mission Assurance Lead. You will be responsible for producing safety analysis products, performing functional and safety requirements definition, working with Responsible Engineers to identify hazard controls and mitigations in the vehicle design, supporting integration, verification, and validation. Your passion, expertise, and skills will impact the design and integration of the spacecraft and mission success. You should expect that this foundational part of our vision will require your excellent communication and teamwork.

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Perform activities including Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Functional Hazard Assessments (FHAs), Hazard Reports, Failure Modes Effects and Criticality Analyses (FMECA), reliability analysis, and developing mitigation plans

• Ensure traceability between system and subsystem functions, requirements, and safety artifacts

• Provide review, guidance, and expertise of subsystem safety analysis products

• Support verification and validation of safety and reliability requirements

• Provide technical guidance to other engineers across the program and company

• Collaborate across Lunar Systems Engineers to develop best practices and find opportunities for common processes across projects

Minimum Qualifications

• B.S. degree in aerospace engineering, systems engineering, or related field
