Job summary

Blue Origin in Colorado is seeking an experienced software engineer to own the payload processing runtime, the engine that drives our in-space computing capabilities. You will integrate and optimize HPC software for fault-tolerant, stateful workloads across intermittent satellite contact windows.

You will work on accelerator frameworks, design APIs for job submission, and develop a performance benchmark suite to characterize throughput, latency, and power tradeoffs on orbital hardware.

Qualifications

• BS in CS/CE or related field.
• 6+ years in HPC or distributed systems.
• Hands-on experience deploying data-intensive apps on large-scale accelerated systems.
• Strong understanding of accelerator architecture (GPUs), memory bandwidth, and parallel programming.
• Fault tolerance and state management in environments with intermittent connectivity.
• US citizen or eligible to work in the US.

Responsibilities

• Own architecture and implementation of the on-board payload processing runtime for diverse, high-performance workloads.
• Integrate, configure, and optimize accelerator compute frameworks and libraries; define workload optimization strategies for orbital hardware.
• Design and write core system code for robust workload checkpointing and state persistence amid interruptions.
• Define the API contract for job submission and results delivery with the compute orchestration team.
• Develop and maintain a performance benchmark suite on reference hardware to characterize throughput, latency, and power tradeoffs.
