• Create guidelines and procedures for software development, implementation, and verification.
• Oversee software development resources and allocations, and create ICDs.
• Conduct software life cycle reviews, including code walkthroughs, requirements reviews, test readiness and results reviews, and acceptance test reviews.
• Review and approve software management plans, including development, test, maintenance, configuration management, and fault management.
• Coordinate flight software-related verification and spacecraft integration test activities.
• Mentor and assist engineering teams in development, testing, and systems engineering of flight software, commands, telemetry, and conops.
• Aid in developing software requirements and ensure they are understandable, valid, traceable, and verifiable.
• Provide technical mentoring for junior engineers across Blue Origin.

Requirements

• Minimum of a B.S. degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Computer Science, Aerospace engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent technical field.
• Demonstrated understanding of systems engineering fundamentals and experience in multiple system lifecycle phases.
• 10+ years of related experience in the design, development, and test of aerospace systems, preferably spacecraft.
• Familiarity with spacecraft operations, command & control, and spacecraft communications.
• Experience developing or testing flight software.
• Experience developing an integrated system with depth in one or more spacecraft subsystems, and/or system design and integration.
