Full Job Description
Application close date: Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed. 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 team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight! This role supports the development and operations of New Glenn, a single-configuration, heavy-lift orbital launch vehicle capable of routinely carrying people and payloads to low-Earth orbit, geostationary transfer orbit, cislunar, and beyond. Its first stage is fully reusable, and the vehicle was designed from the beginning to be human-capable. Applies standard engineering methods for the design, development, and verification of data collection and control systems used in either flight component testing or ground launch support facilities. This requires the development and release of artifacts following the facility lifecycle plan as well maintaining configuration management of operational systems. Applies standard engineering techniques to design, develop, and maintain instrumentation, power supply architecture or controls systems. Develops new and modifies existing PLC or HMI applications, interfaces, or embedded controls. Participates in set-up and commissioning of new facilities or upgrading of existing facilities. Troubleshoots and resolves malfunctions and makes recommendations that will improve efficiency or quality of operations. Documents specifications and operating procedures. **Responsibilities include but are not limited to:** * Project leadership in all aspects of industrial control system, PLC hardware applications, design, fabrication support, PLC Software development * Create new and modify existing electrical power and controls schematics, single line and interconnect diagrams * Create new and modify existing assembly dra
