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, which develops Blue Origin's multiple Blue Moon lander product lines. To further Blue Origin's mission of having millions of people living and working in space, we are building sustainable infrastructure for our transport of crew and cargo from Earth to the lunar surface. As a Navigation Engineer on Lunar Permanence, you will directly contribute to the development of the on-board navigation software for our crewed and uncrewed lunar vehicles. The products developed provide Lunar Permanence vehicles with software to enable unprecedented crew and mass to surface capabilities. You will directly impact the history of space exploration with a dedication and attention towards safe and reliable spaceflight. You will work directly with NASA and our National Team Partners as part of the Human Landing System (HLS) Sustaining Lunar Development (SLD) program. You will play a key role in developing the Lunar Permanence transportation system that will return humans to the Moon and extend human presence permanently beyond the bounds of Earth. We are looking for our engineers to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and dedication to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required!
