Blue Origin envisions millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. We develop reusable, safe, and low‑cost space vehicles and systems. This role is part of the Engines—Advanced Engines business unit, focused on designing, developing, testing, and operating advanced propulsion systems.

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will architect and lead the development of “River,” an Electron-based command and control (C2) application that operates test and control systems—including driver‑level PLC and packaged control surfaces, data storage, manipulation, and real‑time send/receive.

Responsibilities

• Architect, develop, and maintain River, an Electron-based command and control application (TypeScript/JavaScript, Node.js)
• Design and own data pipelines for storage, manipulation, and real‑time send/receive of high‑rate data
• Lead driver‑level integration with PLC and packaged control surfaces (Modbus and other industrial protocols)
• Establish software architecture, design patterns, and engineering best practices across the codebase
• Drive code quality through reviews, automated testing, and CI/CD
• Partner with controls, avionics, and test engineers to define interfaces and translate requirements into robust software
• Troubleshoot complex issues across the software/hardware boundary in development and test environments
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to technical roadmap and cross‑program lessons learned

Minimum Qualifications

• B.S. in Computer Science, Computer/Software Engineering, or a related STEM field
• 5+ years of relevant software development experience
• Strong proficiency in TypeScript/JavaScript and Node.js
• Experience building and shipping production applications, including data storage and real‑time communication
• Demonstrated experience with software architecture, design patterns, and testing/CI practices
• Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Electron and cross‑platform desktop application development
• Experience integrating with PLCs and industrial protocols (Modbus, etc.) at the driver level
• Experience with time‑series databases, high‑rate data acquisition, or streaming data
• Familiarity with command and control, test systems, or hardware‑in‑the‑loop environments
• Experience leading projects and mentoring engineers

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision, basic and supplemental life insurance, paid parental leave, short and long‑term disability, 401(k) with a company match up to 5%, and an Education Support Program
• Stock options for all regular employees (working at least 20 hours per week)
• Paid Time Off: up to four weeks per year based on weekly scheduled hours, and up to 14 company‑paid holidays
• Dependent on role type and job level, employees may be eligible for benefits and bonuses; amounts and eligibility are not guaranteed and may change
