In this hands-on role, you will connect system architecture, requirements, CAD geometry, analysis models, test evidence, and operational data into a single, traceable digital thread. This position uniquely combines systems engineering fundamentals with software automation, model integration, and the practical application of advanced artificial intelligence tools. You will own scoped integrations and work products, partnering with senior engineers and multidisciplinary teams. The ideal candidate is comfortable moving between system models, 3D/CAD data, code, and engineering evidence, with a talent for turning ambiguous needs into testable and maintainable solutions. Responsibilities include but are not limited to: * Develop and maintain Blue Origin Aerobrake Digital Twin capabilities in NVIDIA Omniverse, including data-driven 3D scenes, engineering metadata, behaviors, and reusable integration components. * Build and improve OpenUSD-based workflows that ingest and organize PTC Creo or other CAD geometry while preserving configuration, provenance, coordinate systems, and product-structure metadata. * Connect Dassault Systemes Cameo and Teamwork Cloud system models to the Digital Twin, ensuring requirements, interfaces, functions, verification evidence, and design decisions remain traceable to authoritative sources. * Develop Python-based APIs, connectors, and data pipelines that link analysis, simulation, test, telemetry, and engineering repositories to the Digital Twin. * Support the correlation of digital models with physical test data by defining acceptance criteria, investigating model-to-test differences, and documenting assumptions, limitations, and uncertainty. * Utilize advanced AI-assisted engineering and software-development tools (e.g., Codex, Claude Code, or equivalent) to accelerate integration, automation, and documentation, while independently verifying outputs and maintaining configuration control. * Apply systems engineering fundamentals to decompose needs, define interfaces and data contracts, manage technical risks, and plan verification and validation for Digital Twin capabilities. * Collaborate with guidance, navigation, and control; structures; thermal; avionics; software; test; manufacturing; and mission operations teams to deliver useful Digital Twin workflows. * Participate in agile planning, demonstrations, technical reviews, and retrospectives; communicate progress, tradeoffs, and blockers clearly to all stakeholders., Applicants for employment at Blue Origin must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e. current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S.as a refugee or granted asylum. Background Check * Required for all positions: Blue's Standard Background Check * Required for Certain Job Profiles: Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) background check if at any time the role requires one to be on a military installation * Required for Certain Job Profiles: Drivers who operate Commercial Motor Vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW), Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or combination of power unit and trailer that meets or exceeds 10,001 lbs. and/or transports placardable amounts of hazardous materials by ground in any vehicle on a public road while in commerce, may be subject to additional Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations including: Driver Qualification Files, Medical Certification (obtained before onboarding), Road Test, Hours of Service, Drug and Alcohol Testing, vehicle inspection requirements, CDL requirements (if applicable) and hazardous materials transportation/shipping training. * Required for certain Job Profiles: Ability to obtain and maintain Merchant Mariner Credential, which includes pre-employment and random drug testing as well as DOT physical ## Related Videos - [Cloud Vendor Lock-In - Is it just a new version of the Database Abstraction Layers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1185-cloud-vendor-lock-in-is-it-just-a-new-version-of-the-database-abstraction-layers) - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE - Modern DevOps for IoT Devices and More](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1805-wearedevelopers-live-modern-devops-for-iot-devices-and-more) - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [Colorful quantum randomness](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100257-colorful-quantum-randomness) - [Robots are coming into the wild!
