On the System Definition & Certification team you work across requirements, system safety, verification & validation, and certification - the instruments we use to prove the vehicle is safe to fly crew. You will serve as a senior systems engineer across a major area of the vehicle - owning the requirements, safety, and verification baseline, setting technical direction, and mentoring the engineers around you. We favor lean, tool-driven workflows over moving data by hand, and we would rather build the tool that removes the busywork than staff it., * Serve as a senior systems engineer and Responsible Engineer owning the requirements, safety, and verification baseline across a major vehicle area or the inter-element seams between areas * Lead requirements analysis, decomposition, and allocation, and shape the architecture decisions that flow from them * Own the verification & validation approach for your area and lead anomaly investigations, root-cause analysis, and recovery when the vehicle does not behave as designed * Set the risk-based standard for how variances and deviations are dispositioned in your area * Develop lean, tool-driven processes for requirements, safety, and V&V and earn their adoption across the team and design IPTs * Act as the working-level technical interface for your area across IPTs and, as needed, with the customer and partners * Review the deliverables of others for subtle flaws and gaps, not just surface correctness * Mentor engineers and set technical direction for your scope, 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
