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!\nThis 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.Fully independent system safety engineer with deep systems engineering fluency. Owns end-to-end safety assessment for vehicle elements and subsystems-hazard analysis, failure mode identification, risk quantification, and safety case development-while also contributing to systems engineering integration, verification, and certification activities. This role bridges the gap between the SQMA safety organization and element-level SE teams, ensuring safety is embedded in the design process rather than applied after the fact. Reports within AERS Engineering & Systems on the New Glenn GS1/9E program.\nCore Responsibilities - System Safety\nLead and execute Functional Hazard Assessments (FHA/FHAA), Preliminary Hazard Analyses (PHA), and Subsystem Hazard Analyses (SSHA) for assigned vehicle elements\nAuthor and maintain FMECAs for assigned subsystems; derive Critical Items Lists (CIL) and basic events for Fault Tree Analyses\nDevelop and maintain Fault Tree Analyses (FTA) for safety-critical functions; quantify unreliability and identify single-point failures and common-cause vulnerabilities\nPerform Common Cause Analyses (CCA) and Zonal Safety Assessments to identify latent failure interactions\nOwn hazard sheets and hazard tracking for assigned subsystems; drive hazard closure through design changes, operational controls, or accepted risk\nDevelop safety requirements and derive safety-related design constraints; flow into DNG requirements and track verification closure\nSupport Architecture Safety Assessments (ASA)-ensure system architecture meets safety intent and that redundancy/independence claims are substantiated\nRepresent system safety at design reviews; author safety review packages and present findings to safety review boards\nPerform safety assessments for Engineering Change Requests (ECRs) and nonconformance dispositions-evaluate safety impact of proposed changes\nLead or support mishap/anomaly investigation safety analysis (contributing cause identification, barrier analysis, corrective action adequacy assessment)\nExperience with FAA 14 CFR Part 450 public safety requirements\nCore Responsibilities - Systems Engineering\nContribute to element-level systems engineering for 9E GS1-requirements decomposition, interface management, verification planning, and configuration control\nLead verification campaigns for safety-critical requirements-plan, execute, and close out verification evidence\nPerform cross-subsystem integration analysis at vehicle interfaces where safety and systems engineering intersect (e.g., propulsion/structures, avionics/GN&C, TPS/thermal)\nRepresent SE and safety at program-level forums drive action closure on safety-related items\nAuthor technical decision memos and trade study reports for safety-critical design choices\nSupport certification activities-Element Design Reviews (EDRs), Pre-Ship Reviews (PSRs), Flight Readiness Reviews (FRRs)-with safety case artifacts\nContribute to customer certification safety documentation as the program scales toward national security missions\nQualifications\nB.S. in Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field (M.S. strongly preferred)\n5-10 years of combined system safety and systems engineering experience, with demonstrated progression in scope and complexity\nDeep, hands-on experience with hazard analysis methods: FHA, FMECA, FTA, CCA, PHA -not just familiarity, but authorship of these artifacts on real programs\nWorking knowledge of systems engineering processes: requirements decomposition, verification planning, interface management, configuration control\nExperience with safety standards and regulatory frameworks: MIL-STD-882, MIL-STD-1629, SAE ARP4761, NASA-STD-8719, FAA 14 CFR Part 450 (at least two)\nAbility to quantify risk-probabilistic methods, reliability modeling, failure rate databases (MIL-HDBK-217, NPRD/EPRD, or equivalent)\nStrong technical writing skills-ability to author hazard analyses, safety cases, and technical decision memos that withstand review board scrutiny\nExcellent communication skills-ability to present safety findings to program leadership, design teams, and external reviewers (FAA, customer)\nPreferred Qualifications\nM.S. or Ph.D. in relevant engineering field\nExperience with launch vehicle or human-rated spacecraft safety programs\nExperience with reusable vehicle systems-understanding of how reuse changes the safety paradigm (fatigue, degradation, refurbishment inspection adequacy)\nINCOSE CSEP or ESEP certification\nFamiliarity with customer certification requirements process\nExperience with fracture control programs (NASA-STD-5019 or equivalent)\nProgramming skills (Python, MATLAB) for reliability modeling and data analysis\nExperience with AI/ML tools for engineering analysis or automation\nCulture Statement\nDon’t meet all desired requirements?
