GN&C Responsible Engineer – Space Destinations
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 position is part of the Space Systems Development (SSD) business unit.
SSD develops next-generation concepts and systems to advance our future of living and working in space sustainably.
Blue Origin is committed to a vision of millions of people living and working in space to benefit Earth.
Enabling this future requires commercial low Earth orbit destinations where people can live and work, creating economic value.
We are building the next space station.
With a commercial business model and a futuristic space architecture designed to promote and sustain a robust orbital economy, we will normalize space travel for larger numbers of people.
Come join our team to develop Earth orbit.
As part of a hardworking team of diverse spacecraft development engineers, you will be responsible for the derivation and development of Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GN&C) requirements, analysis, algorithms, flight software, integration, test, verification, and validation of the Orbital Reef ADCS subsystem.
In this role, you will use your experience in the development of on-board Guidance, Navigation, and Control technologies to drive technical innovation and solve complex challenges.
We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe spaceflight.
Passion for our mission and vision is required!Responsibilities include but are not limited to:
Support early concept studies, architecture development, definition of GN&C mode states and transitions, and concept of operations.
Derive and develop GN&C requirements, perform analyses and trades to validate requirements, and maintain subsystem specification, and performance metrics.
