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! We are a diverse team of collaborators, doers, and problem-solvers who are relentlessly committed to a culture of safety. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your commitment and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable space flight. Join us in lowering the cost of access to space and enabling Blue Origin's vision of millions of people living and working in space to benefit Earth. As part of a diverse and hardworking team of systems engineers, hardware engineers, software engineers, and program leaders, you will play a critical role in the development, implementation, verification, and testing of firmware for our FPGA based designs, which must operate in harsh environments, under demanding conditions onboard our Avionics components in various spaceflight systems. You will be instrumental in developing firmware requirements in coordination with systems engineering, hardware engineering, software engineering and subsystem owners. You will develop FPGA design and verification utilizing hardware description languages. You will be responsible for the development of tests and the associated documentation. You will participate in design reviews. 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 Transportation system that will return humans to the Moon and extend human presence permanently beyond the bounds of Earth. 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! Responsibilities : Develop firmware requirements in coordination with systems engineering, hardware engineering, software engineering and subsystem owners.
