Job summary

Blue Origin is seeking a Senior Principal Systems Integrator to drive system-level decisions from identification to closure across spacecraft, payload, software, and ground domains. You will lead periodic architecture compliance reviews, manage the architecture trades log, and ensure artifacts reflect the program's current technical state.

Expected to balance 70/30 current-system integration with forward-looking feasibility work, you will collaborate with domain architects and VP teams to

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, physics, or equivalent technical field (mandatory).
• 10+ years of systems engineering experience in complex multi-domain programs (space, defense, telecommunications, aviation, or EV).
• Demonstrated experience driving trade studies, design reviews, or architecture decisions to closure across organizational boundaries.
• Strong technical writing skills — architecture documents, compliance assessments, and decision records.
• Sufficient technical breadth across multiple domains to independently assess sound conclusions.

Responsibilities

• Drive periodic architecture compliance reviews through preparation, execution, and action closure.
• Own the architecture trades log: ensure trades are scoped, staffed, converged, and documented per standards.
• Monitor whether accumulated technical changes erode top-level system compliance and flag drift.
• Maintain the system-level artifact suite—architecture summary documents, risk register, and decision records.
• Coordinate cross-functional trade teams: define the question, drive the work, ensure convergence, and document outcomes.
• Bridge outputs from system models to architectural decisions for reviews and trade closure.
• Identify missing domain inputs and drive engagement to close gaps before surprises.
• Support the CSA in preparing system-level positions for executive reviews and risk assessments.
