Sr. Flight Software Engineer, Autonomous & Intelligent System Management - Space

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 position is part of the Space Systems Development (SSD) business unit. SSD develops next-generation concepts and systems to advance our future of living and working in space sustainably.As part of a diverse and hardworking team of engineers and technicians within the Space System Development (SSD) business unit, you will contribute to the design of the flight software for future space systems operating in orbital and deep space environment. Within a small, passionate, and accomplished team, you will contribute to developing fault tolerant flight software responsible for the overall command and control of a significant autonomous space system providing state-of-the-art space station services with Blue Origin Orbital Reef and NASA Commercial Destination Free Flyer (CDFF) program. This includes defining architectures and requirements, cross-functional activities with subsystem stakeholders, and development and verification. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration, and your dedicated commitment and detailed attention will further the cause of safe spaceflight as we build a road to space. You will create and maintain artifacts for flight software designs and present infrastructure and application flight software designs at gated reviews.We are looking for engineers 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. If you're excited by solving novel problems, learning about interesting topics, and completing challenging activities, please apply!Responsibilities:Design and develop vehicle autonomous system management and fault management flight softwareSupport design and development of flight software functional architecture for orbital space systemDesign and develop embedded computer vision software for autonomous proximity operations and dockingEvaluate, decompose, and create requirements for safety-critical, real-time operating systemsSupport trade studies for infrastructure, system and application embedded flight software architectures and implementationsWork with cross-functional stakeholders to define software concepts of operations, functions and requirements, including proximity and docking fiducialsAuthor unit tests, documentation, and participate in design and code reviewsIntegrate space system flight software components, create and run unit tests, validate on cross-platform software testbed Hardware-in-the-Loop and simulator environmentDefine and implement intelligent system flight software engineering best practices and processes through edge deployment for embedded real-time executionPresent flight software designs at design and milestone reviewsDeliver flight software for milestone prototype demonstrationSupport the integrated product manager to identify and track program and technical risk, develop and maintain schedule, resource allocation, and budgetMinimum Qualifications:B.S. degree in computer science, computer engineering, robotics engineering or related engineering field8+ years demonstrated industry experienceBreadth and depth of understanding of real-time embedded software development conceptsDemonstrated software development skills in real-time embedded systems, particularly in C/C++Experience in cross-platform development and deployment of software.Experience with real-time operating systemsDemonstrated hands-on and theoretical mastery of software, computational science and intelligent system principles, concepts, algorithms, and engineering beyond tool useDemonstrated experience with development of real-time embedded software systems performing long duration autonomous operations in changing environmentsAdvanced competency in both real-time embedded software control systems and application software engineering across the entire lifecycleDemonstrated competency and experience developing intelligent systems and computer vision software for real-time embedded systems at the edgeHighly skilled in both software architecture and computer architectureEffective communication skillsMust be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.Preferred Qualifications:M.S. degree in computer science, computer engineering, robotics engineering or related engineering fieldSuccessful candidates typically have 10+ years of real-time embedded flight software design and development experience.Extensive experience in autonomous system real-time embedded software development for aerospace, satellite, self-driving automotive, robotics, naval underwater vehicles, medical systems, or edge autonomous planning and scheduling systems.Extensive experience in full life cycle software development of real-time embedded system, including system design and analysis, requirement capture and development, software implementation and verification, system integration, qualification, and release.Experience with dynamic iterative development processes such as spiral model, agile, or incremental modelsAbility to translate intelligent system concepts, architecture, and design to implementable software within the constraints of safety and mission critical real-time embedded systems in C/C++Ability to implement advanced intelligent software not supported by prepackaged librariesExperience with prepackaged libraries such as OpenCV, Tensorflow, PyTorch, Keras, Numpy, Python, scikit-learnExperience and knowledge with edge processing accelerator engines for computer vision and sensor fusion algorithms computationExperience with cross-platform development and testbed lab environmentsExperience developing safety and mission critical products adhering to software best practices and standards such as DO-178, NPR 7150.2, or other.Experience working effectively with cross-functional stakeholders
