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.

As part of a small team, you will work on New Glenn at the system level for the New Glenn Program. We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership, and commitment to quality to positively impact secure human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required

As part of the New Glenn SEIT system safety, reliability and risk team, you will work to develop processes and products for the design and evaluation of the New Glenn orbital launch vehicle system and facilities. You must have a passion for mission assurance, a commitment to the fundamentals of system safety/reliability, and a strong capacity to work collaboratively on complex and interesting new problems. You will be part of the SEIT system engineering team and will work across the New Glenn subsystems to support integrated solutions. You will utilize system engineering practices across disciplines predicated to a high degree on your technical skills, ensure consistent system engineering implementations across the New Glenn elements and subsystems,



and serve in a system integration capacity working with multi-discipline teams to arrive at technical system solutions. Additionally, this role requires understanding and supporting requirements analysis and traceability, functional analysis, systems analysis, safety analysis, technical performance monitoring, developing strategies and approaches for specialty engineering (operability, reliability, maintainability, supportability) and system product life cycle processes.

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

Assess reliability for the New Glenn system using statistical methods and physics-of-failure modeling including 217+and NSWC-11

Use flight data to determine vehicle reliability, availability, and maintainability practices

Create, evaluate, and perform reviews of system safety and reliability analyses including Hazard Assessments, FMECAs/HAZOPs, Fault Trees, Common Cause Assessments, Reliability Predictions, Reliability Block Diagrams, Human Error Assessments, and Hazard Sheets

Evaluate safety and reliability products and requirements for compliance with our system safety/reliability processes and products against internal and external standards including Range Safety, NASA, FAA, MIL-STD-882, ARP-4761, and SMC-S-013

Implement and maintain system safety processes and identify continuous improvement opportunities





Train and mentor engineers on identifying and analyzing system safety and reliability risks

Work with systems engineering and subsystem cognizant engineers to identify and verify compliance with system safety and reliability requirements

Assist in generating metrics and report on program system safety/reliability statuses

Assess and mitigate program risks
