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 supports the development and operations of New Glenn, a single-configuration, heavy-lift orbital launch vehicle capable of routinely carrying people and payloads to low-Earth orbit, geostationary transfer orbit, cislunar, and beyond. Its first stage is fully reusable, and the vehicle was designed from the beginning to be human-capable.

As part of a small, passionate, and accomplished team of experts, you will own end to end product development as a responsible engineer of LRUs. These LRUs are a critical component of New Glenn, and control some of the most significant functions on the rocket like hydraulics, thrust vector control (TVC), fins, ordnance, sensors, valves, and more. In this role you’ll interface with design, test, systems, integration, software and control engineering disciplines throughout the entire product lifecycle from conception to flight ready hardware.

We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required! You should have the desire to learn from new challenges and the problem solving and communication skills to work within a highly interactive and experienced team.

Responsibilities:

• Own the development and integration of LRU assemblies for Embedded Controllers that control various subsystems on New Glenn rocket such as electromechanical/electrohydraulic actuators, sensors, etc.

• Own qualification testing at the integrated assembly level in extreme environments of radiation, temperature, vibration, and EMI/EMC per MIL-STD-461 and DO-160 standards.

• Support stakeholders with requirement definition and verification activities.

• Apply technical expertise to problem solving throughout product lifecycle, including concept, definition, design, verification (power-on, functional / acceptance / qualification testing) and release to production.

• Support avionics embedded controller architecture trades studies, analyses, performance characterization and specification, device selection, and controller roadmap direction.

• Collaborate with avionics subsystems to identify current technology capabilities, risks, opportunities, challenges and develop solutions.

Qualifications:

• Minimum of a B.S. in electrical, computer engineering or related field with 3+ years of developing and testing complex hardware equipment over the entire product lifecycle.

• Direct hands-on experience in developing complex electronic assemblies with expertise in systems integration and qualification testing.

• Passion for hands-on problem solving and avionics integration and test.

• Ability to work independently on rapid development programs.

• Familiarity with ethernet, SPI protocols, complex computational devices to monitor sensors and drive actuators, analog/digital filters including design, development, and verification.

• Highly organized, safety and quality conscious, with excellent technical written and verbal communication skills.

Desired:

• Graduate degree in related engineering or technical field.

• Experience developing and testing complex electronic systems combining hardware, firmware, and software.

• Experience developing and testing real-time embedded systems with a focus on modular and extensible architectures.

• Experience testing hardware to MIL-STD-461, DO-160 or similar environmental standards

• Experience developing and testing safety and mission-critical systems (automotive, aerospace, medical, etc.) aligned with DO-254 or similar standards.

• Proficiency with scripting; programming and analysis/modeling tools: Python, Linux/Windows shell scripting; assembly language, C, C++; MATLAB / Simulink / SPICE (or similar).

• Experience using Altium/Cadence OrCAD / Allegro (or similar tools) to design complex aerospace boards.

• Experience with scripting; programming and analysis/simulation/modeling tools: Python, Linux/Windows shell scripting; assembly language, C, C++; MATLAB / Simulink / SPICE (or similar)
