Avionics Operations Engineer III

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.

This role is part of the Orbital Launch Engineering Avionics team. We are a small, passionate and accomplished team of operations experts. You will develop, manage, support, andexecute integrated tests and operations for various spaceflight systems on New Glenn up to and including launch.

As part of a diverse and hardworking team of engineers and technicians, you will contribute to the test and operation of Avionics Guidance Navigation Controls (GNC) SW/HW (IMUs, NAV Sensors, controls, GPS) & Main Flight Computing HW/SW spaceflight systems. You will share in the team’s impact on all aspects of mission success for the New Glenn orbital launch vehicle.

You will be responsible for processing your assigned vehicle systems, from stage receipt at the launch site through launch and landing. You will help develop and maintain production schedules, quality documents, and engineering. You will work with other element teams to develop, interpret, and consume operational requirements and produce engineering work orders, technical plans, procedures, HMI displays, and other data products that are required to prepare and launch operational flight vehicles. You will also be responsible for interfacing with the embedded software development team when necessary for deployment and updating of Operational Flight Programs (OFP) to the vehicle avionics. As a test/operations engineer, you will ensure the launch vehicle and associated ground systems are integrated and prepared for launch and flight.

As this role directly conducts launches this position requires candidates to work shifts including nights and weekends.
