Systems Integration Engineer I – Critical Facility Monitoring System

Application close date

Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed.

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.

Blue Origin is seeking a Systems Integration Engineer to support the design, development, and verification of the Critical Facility Monitoring System (CFMS) user interface for the New Glenn launch complex. As part of a small, cross-functional team, you will integrate the CFMS with ground and facility systems.

This hands-on role involves system configuration, display development, and building software simulation/test utilities. It will require creation of test plans and procedures and executing end-to-end integration verification testing with formal documentation. You'll work closely with operations personnel to develop meaningful alerts and reports that support day-to-day operations, maintenance, and historical data analysis — helping integrate, verify, and validate software components that support launch facility operations.

Responsibilities

• Integrate, develop, configure, and test the CFMS user interface with launch complex, ground, and facility systems
• Design user interfaces and develop displays for facility monitoring and operations
• Configure assets and set up historical data collection, alerting, and reporting
• Work directly with customers/users to gather feedback and implement new features and improvements
• Participate in architecture discussions and process improvements, contributing to high-quality user interface software
• Support customer training, documentation, and configuration management
• Follow software quality processes including release management, traceability, and verification
• Leverage AI tools to accelerate development workflows, coding, and feature delivery
• Support test integration, operations, and training at remote sites as needed (travel required)

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field (or equivalent practical experience)
• 0 - 2 years of experience in software/systems integration, industrial automation, or SCADA development
• Exposure to design and integration of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems
• Experience or coursework related to designing user interfaces for industrial control systems
• Experience programming in Python and C/C++
• Working knowledge of, or coursework exposure to, industrial communication protocols: OPC DA/UA, Modbus, BACnet, MQTT
• Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively on rapid development programs
• Ability to travel to remote sites for integration, testing, and training support

Additional Desired Qualifications

• Basic SQL/database experience
• Familiarity with ground command and control system concepts (telemetry processing, commanding, procedure execution)

Familiarity with Wireshark

Coursework or hands-on experience with programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and industrial control hardware (Rockwell, Siemens)
