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. 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. New Glenn is Blue Origin s orbital launch vehicle, and all avionics equipment that flies on it must be verified before it leaves the ground. As part of a hardworking team of engineers, you will be an individual technical contributor on the Chassis Tester Software team — the engineers who build the software stack that makes that verification possible. This is a test automation role in the traditional sense. You will integrate a series of tools, scripts and sequences for hardware-in-the-loop test frameworks, build the operator-facing tools that run on the test floor, and own the automated result-checking infrastructure that determines pass/fail for flight-critical hardware. This software is critical for the operation and sustainment for the test equipment and required to support production level testing for the New Glenn Avionics Organization                                                                    Responsibilities: · Work with internal customers to capture requirements, negotiate scope, and deliverables to meet Program milestones. · Design and implement production-automation for test instruments · Work directly with avionics hardware engineers to understand instrument behavior, define test sequencing in conjunction with the test engineer. · Architect and extend automated test execution frameworks · Implement check logic, pass/fail criteria, limit management, and structured report generation for acceptance and qualification test campaigns Required Qualifications: · B.S. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field · 2 years of professional software coding and engineering experience. · Proficiency with Python · Proven experience developing software on a Redhat OS · Experience with the networking stack — socket programming, UDP/TCP and command transport, packet capture and parsing. · Git workflow discipline, CI/CD Preferred Qualifications: · Familiarity with avionics test environments — automated test equipment (ATE) · Knowledge of acceptance and qualification test processes in an aerospace hardware development lifecycle · Familiarity with Processor-in-Loop (PIL) design and deploy for test · Mastery for Python programming. · Self-Starter and highly proactive.
