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 Blue National Security (BNS), where our focus is the design, development, and delivery of launch and spacecraft systems for national security missions. Through Blue Ring, our all-in-one, high-powered hybrid solar-electric and chemical-propelled spacecraft, we provide unmatched mission maneuverability, versatility, and capacity at dramatically lower-profile costs.
This role is part of the Blue National Security (BNS) team, which supports Blue Origin's mission of millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. Our team fosters innovation and drives the engineering workflows of the future by developing shared solutions and standards that emphasize simplicity, lower costs, and manufacturable design.
Job Summary
As a Systems Engineer II focused on a Vehicle Digital Twin, you will be at the forefront of developing a connected, data-driven representation of our vehicle using NVIDIA Omniverse. In this hands-on role, you will connect system architecture, requirements, CAD geometry, analysis models, test evidence, and operational data into a single, traceable digital thread. This position uniquely combines systems engineering fundamentals with software automation, model integration, and the practical application of advanced artificial intelligence tools.
You will own scoped integrations and work products, partnering with senior engineers and multidisciplinary teams. The ideal candidate is comfortable moving between system models, 3D/CAD data, code, and engineering evidence, with a talent for turning ambiguous needs into testable and maintainable solutions.
Responsibilities include but are not limited to:
Develop and maintain Blue Origin Aerobrake Digital Twin capabilities in NVIDIA Omniverse, including data-driven 3D scenes, engineering metadata, behaviors, and reusable integration components.
Build and improve OpenUSD-based workflows that ingest and organize PTC Creo or other CAD geometry while preserving configuration, provenance, coordinate systems, and product-structure metadata.
Connect Dassault Systèmes Cameo and Teamwork Cloud system models to the Digital Twin, ensuring requirements, interfaces, functions, verification evidence, and design decisions remain traceable to authoritative sources.
Develop Python-based APIs, connectors, and data pipelines that link analysis, simulation, test, telemetry, and engineering repositories to the Digital Twin.
Support the correlation of digital models with physical test data by defining acceptance criteria, investigating model-to-test differences, and documenting assumptions, limitations, and uncertainty.
Utilize advanced AI-assisted engineering and software-development tools (e.g., Codex, Claude Code, or equivalent) to accelerate integration, automation, and documentation, while independently verifying outputs and maintaining configuration control.
Apply systems engineering fundamentals to decompose needs, define interfaces and data contracts, manage technical risks, and plan verification and validation for Digital Twin capabilities.
Collaborate with guidance, navigation, and control; structures; thermal; avionics; software; test; manufacturing; and mission operations teams to deliver useful Digital Twin workflows.
Participate in agile planning, demonstrations, technical reviews, and retrospectives; communicate progress, tradeoffs, and blockers clearly to all stakeholders.
