Avionics Operations Engineer II

You will be responsible for processing your assigned vehicle systems, from stage receipt at the launch site through launch and landing. You will help develop and maintain production schedules, quality documents, and engineering. You will work with other element teams to develop , interpret , and consume operational

and produce engineering work orders, technical plans, procedures , HMI displays , and other data products that are required to prepare and launch operational flight vehicles . You will also be responsible for interfacing with the embedded software development team when necessary for deployment and updating of Operational Flight Programs (OFP) to the vehicle avionics . As a test /operations engineer , you will ensure the launch vehicle and associated ground systems are integrated and prepared for launch and flight.

As this role directly conducts launches this position requires candidates to work shifts including nights and weekends.

To prepare for launch , , write sequencer code, and create controller panels. During preparations, y ou will need to perform hands - on troubleshoot ing and test ing as required . You will certify as a launch engineer controller , ultimately operating your assigned systems on launch day. You will determine and correct anomaly causes, often during time-critical operations. After flight, you will perform data reviews and incorporate process improvements. Training will continue to increase the operators knowledge of other avionics systems for launch operations.

The ideal candidate has GNC theory of operation knowledge , launch vehicle operations experience, f light c omputing/command and data handling knowledge , is familiar with SW development and HIL testing , is highly detail-oriented and future - thinking, can manage a broad set of diverse data, has programming experience in QT/Python, and has a deep passion for Blue Origin’s mission. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your dedicated commitment and detailed attention to safe and repeatable spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required !
