LabVIEW Software Test Engineer II

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 diverse team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight!  

We are a diverse team of collaborators, doers, and problem- solvers who are relentlessly committed to a culture of safety. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your commitment and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable space flight. Join us in lowering the cost of access to space and enabling Blue Origin’s vision of millions of people living and working in space to benefit Earth.  

This role is part of Enterprise Engineering, where we provide technical standards, tools, processes, training, and subject matter expertise for product engineering and manufacturing. EE allows all Blue Origin business units to benefit from commonly used capabilities, hardware, and software and assists business units in identifying, selecting, and training engineers from both inside and outside the organization.

  

As part of a diverse and hardworking team of engineers, you will design and deploy test systems and software for in-situ avionics test with a focus on the space environment.  You will design LabVIEW data acquisition and control systems based on NI CompactRIO, CompactDAQ, PXI, and other hardware to monitor the effects of simulated space environments on avionics and launch vehicles.

In this role, your primary responsibilities will be to build upon our common software architecture, writing new libraries and optimizing test code within our team. You will participate in hardware demos utilizing LabVIEW code, craft additions to our frameworks, and develop user interfaces.
