About

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 is part of the Lunar Permanence business unit, which develops Blue Origin's Blue Moon landers and related products. To further Blue Origin's mission of millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth, we are building sustainable infrastructure for our transport of crew and cargo from Earth to the lunar surface. Lead the low-level embedded software team for Blue Origin's core components, as part of NASA's HLS SLD program. You will drive the foundational software closest to the hardware - bootloaders, device drivers, board support packages, and hardware abstraction layers that underpin every system aboard the vehicle. Come help us establish a lasting human presence on the moon! Responsibilities include but are not limited to: Lead the technical team to develop and deliver low-level embedded software products including bootloaders, board support packages (BSPs), device drivers, hardware abstraction layers (HALs), and RTOS platform integration that meet mission objectives and requirements while balancing cost, schedule, and risk. Define the low-level embedded software product portfolio, specify requirements, and plan the work involved in crafting plans and tracking outcomes to meet scope. Recruit, hire, manage, and mentor a team of exceptional embedded software engineers with deep expertise in hardware-software integration. Coordinate professional development of employees through performance evaluations, compensation management, and routine development conversations. Drive the hardware-software co-design process, collaborating closely with avionics, FPGA, and systems engineering teams to ensure software interfaces are well-defined, robust, and verified against hardware specifications. Develop robust plans to successfully implement the work, managing key operating metrics such as technical performance, cost, schedule, and risk. Report regularly on progress to management and the team. Provide technical leadership and perform high-quality technical work in low-level embedded domains, including memory management, peripheral initialization, interrupt handling, and real-time system bring-up. Monitor technical progress, requirements, budget, schedule, work, and risks, providing recommendations for changes to program management. Own the platform bring-up strategy for flight computing hardware, ensuring early and continuous integration of BSPs, drivers, and RTOS configurations across development, qualification, and flight units. Coordinate V&V activities, including hardware-in-the-loop testing, bench-level driver validation, and timing analysis to meet system safety requirements and prioritize resources to the verification team following development. Apply sound engineering and business judgment to ensure the efficient and effective development, testing, and delivery of safety-critical embedded software products. Develop product roadmaps for the low-level software stack, collaborating with flight software, avionics, and systems engineering customers to ensure the platform meets current and future mission needs. Establish and enforce coding standards, static analysis practices, and configuration management processes appropriate for safety-critical embedded software. Work independently towards long-range objectives, determining technical objectives of assignments and developing innovative solutions. Embody, promote, and mentor Blue Origin leadership principles. Minimum Qualifications: 8+ years of experience managing technical teams and/or leading functional groups with responsibility for leading and mentoring embedded software engineers. Strong technical background in low-level embedded software development, including device drivers, BSPs, bootloaders, or RTOS integration on resource-constrained or safety-critical platforms. Proven experience in leading multidisciplinary development projects, including managing requirements, priorities, scope, schedule, and cost.
Deep understanding of processor architectures, memory maps, bus protocols (SPI, IC, UART, MIL STD-1553, Ethernet), and hardware-software interfaces.
Ability to earn trust, maintain positive and professional relationships, and contribute to a passionate culture committed to safety. Excellent written and oral communication skills. Minimum of a bachelor's degree in computer engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, or another relevant technical field. Preferred Qualifications: Experience with human-rated space vehicle embedded software development and verification. Familiarity with safety critical software standards and guidelines, such as NASA 7150.2D, DO-178C, MISRA C/C++, and safety-critical software development lifecycle practices. Proficiency in C and/or C++ in bare-metal and RTOS environments Hands-on experience with real-time operating systems such as QNX, VxWorks, RTEMS, or equivalent. Experience with FPGA-software interfaces and collaboration with FPGA/HDL teams. Experience with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test environments, JTAG debugging, logic analyzers, and oscilloscope-level troubleshooting. Knowledge of critical path scheduling, IMP/IMS, risk management, requirements management, and Cost Account Management such as EVM. Experience with agile project management. Experience in managing subcontracts. Experience with verification, integration, and testing of orbital launch vehicles or human-rated spacecraft.
