Top Tech Jobs & Startup Jobs in Denver & Boulder, CO

Design, develop, and verify scalable simulation environments and models to test satellite flight software (SIL/HIL) for a large LEO/MEO constellation. Collaborate with hardware, systems, and autonomy teams, participate in integration/validation, support on‑orbit troubleshooting, and mentor junior engineers.

Design, implement, and verify human-rated real-time flight application software for a lunar lander, including crew displays and manual piloting interfaces. Develop requirements, unit tests, integrate on HIL/simulation, perform code reviews, and implement software development standards.

Design, develop, and maintain secure network and communications (COMSEC) systems. Define requirements, integrate with electrical and systems teams, perform trade studies and design reviews, troubleshoot complex network issues, ensure compliance with security standards, and produce specifications, interface control documents, and test plans.

Develop and execute Blue Ring spacecraft mission operations: create procedures, tools, and automation; perform mission planning, testing, and on-console launch/early-orbit support; monitor telemetry, troubleshoot anomalies, and drive ops reliability and efficiency across ground and space systems.

Perform thermal and fluid system analysis for New Glenn across concept, development, verification, flight operations, and sustainment. Implement aerothermal, rocket plume heating, and natural environment models, validate component and vehicle thermal/fluid performance, and maintain analysis inputs, models, reports, and data books to support safe human-capable launch vehicle operations.

Serve as technical authority for ground-based radiometric measurements and orbit determination. Architect flight dynamics software, define navigation standards and processes, coordinate tracking and DSN interactions, provide real-time navigation support, lead trades and analysis, collaborate across GNC/systems/ops, represent Blue Origin to partners, and mentor navigation engineers.

Lead EPS architecture for LEO satellites: define requirements, perform system trades and simulations, develop power budgets, design/integrate solar and battery systems, drive R&D for novel power/storage technologies, author technical documentation, support integration/test and anomaly resolution, and mentor engineering staff while briefing stakeholders and government customers.

Design, develop, test, and manufacture motion control and electromechanical systems. Architect closed-loop control systems, define cross-discipline interfaces, support requirements and verification, present technical content, guide test plans, and deliver flight-capable hardware on schedule.

Develop, verify, and test real-time embedded avionics software for reusable rocket engines. Participate in full software lifecycle: requirements, architecture, implementation, device drivers, integration, and system testing for safety-critical systems.

Lead spacecraft reliability engineering across subsystems from requirements through verification, integration, and operations. Perform and direct FTA, FMECA, reliability block diagrams, and reliability evaluations; support V&V, integration and test campaigns; mentor engineers; coordinate with subsystem leads and program leadership to meet end-to-end vehicle reliability targets.
