Aerospace Systems Engineer III

About the role

This role supports the development and operations of New Glenn, a single-configuration heavy-lift launch vehicle capable of routinely carrying people and payloads to Earth’s orbit and beyond. The role involves supporting the development of system engineering processes, ensuring consistent implementations across the program, and serving in a system integration capacity working with multi-discipline teams to arrive at technical system solutions.

Responsibilities

• Supports the development and operations of New Glenn, a single-configuration heavy-lift launch vehicle capable of routinely carrying people and payloads to Earth’s orbit and beyond.
• Supports requirements definition, validation, and verification of requirements at all levels of the program using tools like DOORS Next Gen, system lifecycle configuration management tools, and other functional analysis toolsets.
• Supports requirements analysis and traceability, functional analysis, systems analysis, safety analysis, technical performance monitoring, verification planning and closure, test plan development, and operations.
• Ensures the alignment and consistent implementation of New Glenn system engineering practices from system to lower-level program tiers.
• Participates in gated reviews, develops health metrics to support insight into program health and tracking to major milestones.

Requirements

• Minimum of a B.S. degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Industrial engineering, or a similar technical field.
• 5+ years of systems engineering experience with demonstrated progression in scope and complexity.
• Established expertise across the full SE development cycle (concept, requirements, design, analysis, integration, safety, configuration management, verification and test).
• Familiarity with two or more related functional areas (mechanical, fluids, tanks, structures, avionics, engines, GNC, etc.).
• Advanced capability in using and setting up SE tools (DOORS/DNG, ETM, Windchill, Cameo).
• Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams and drive multi-subsystem integration.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Qualifications

• Advanced degree in Engineering disciplines, particularly mechanical, aerospace and materials.
• INCOSE CSEP certification.
• Familiarity with NSSL certification requirements and system safety.
• Knowledge of launch vehicle design and requirements.
• System development/integration experience, preferably with aerospace hardware.
• Experience with verification planning, coordination of verification evidence, and development/delivery of verification closure notices.
• Experience with project planning and implementation.
• Experience with launch operations.
• Demonstrated understanding of mechanical or fluid system principles, components, and operations.
• Experience with launch vehicles and mechanical aerospace systems (Separation, Fins, TVC, Hydraulic or Electro-Mechanical Actuators and Mechanisms, APU, landing systems).

Skills

• Passion for our mission and vision.
