Blue Origin is seeking a Satellite Flight Software Engineer III to design, develop, and verify applications for TeraWave’s satellite flight software subsystem. The ideal candidate is a hands-on engineer with experience developing reliable, mission-critical software for onboard spacecraft avionics systems with emphasis on command and data handling (C&DH), telecommand and telemetry processing, spacecraft time management, hardware I/O interfaces, and cybersecurity.
Requirements
- Design, develop, and implement flight software for TeraWave's command and data handling (C&DH) software, including command routing, onboard data management, and telemetry generation
- Develop telecommand and telemetry processing software for uplink command validation, scheduling, and execution, and onboard health and status data collection and downlink management
- Develop spacecraft time management software including onboard time correlation, synchronization with GPS/GNSS time references, and precision timing distribution across vehicle subsystems
- Create and maintain software interfaces between C&DH and other spacecraft subsystems to support safe and secure vehicle operations
- Collaborate with hardware, systems, and autonomy engineers to define software requirements, interfaces, and behavioral boundaries across subsystems
- Develop and integrate simulation environments and models to test FSW across a range of nominal and off-nominal operational scenarios
- Support software architecture, design reviews, and systems engineering trade studies
- Participate in software integration, verification, and validation testing including software-in-the-loop (SIL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) environments
- Support on-orbit operations and troubleshooting of deployed spacecraft
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to team technical development
