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 diverse team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight!
This role is part of the Lunar Permanence business unit. To further Blue Origin\'s mission of having millions of people living and working in space, we are building the sustainable infrastructure for our transport of crew and cargo from Earth to the Lunar Surface.
As a Software Verification and Test Engineer II on Lunar Permanence, you will directly support program execution of crewed and uncrewed lunar vehicles. The products developed provide Lunar Permanence vehicles with software products to enable unprecedented crew and mass to surface capabilities. This position will support technical development for software test and verification. You will review requirements, integrate with stakeholders, create test plans and procedures, and perform activities to verify and validate vehicle flight software. You will directly impact the history of space exploration which will require your dedication and attention towards safe and reliable spaceflight.
We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required!
