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 hardworking team of specialists, technicians, and engineers on the AI & Test software team, you will share in the team's impact on all aspects of design, development, and testing of intelligent robotic systems used across Blue Origin's mission operations. You will frequently engage with other development teams from Avionics, Flight Operations, Ground Integration, Engines, and Lunar. Every day, you will innovate to build the frameworks and tools needed to integrate AI-driven solutions that integrate with cyber-physical systems.

Your expertise will directly contribute to building autonomous platforms, robotic workflows, and intelligent tooling we need to advance space exploration!

For this specific role, your day-to-day activities will focus on developing next-generation AI and software solutions, implementing perception and localization systems, and integrating intelligent robotic hardware with mission-critical software systems. As a member of the software team, you will have input into the architecture and designs, implement and test required features, and help verify all requirements have been met.
