Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed.

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 is part of Advanced Concepts and Enterprise Engineering (ACE), supporting Blue Origin's mission of millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. The team fosters innovation and drives engineering workflows of the future, shared solutions and standards, simplicity and lower costs, and manufacturable design.

Blue Origin is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and Electrical Bonding Engineer to join our elite team of experts on the Engineering Center of Excellence Electromagnetics team. This is a unique opportunity to make a significant impact on the future of space exploration by ensuring top-level Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), lightning, and Radio Frequency (RF) integration and architecture for our advanced electrical and electronic systems.

Your expertise will be crucial in designing and verifying electrical bonding architectures, executing rigorous EMI/EMC testing, and developing robust verification strategies to ensure safe and repeatable spaceflight of our cutting‑edge aerospace systems.

As part of a small, passionate, and accomplished team of experts on the system definition and design team, you will be responsible for all levels of bonding and grounding architecture for all Blue Origin programs. You will define, document, and qualify bonding and grounding requirements for electrical, structural, and all system interfaces. You will bring deep, applied expertise in MIL-STD-461 testing methodologies, leveraging your experience across the full spectrum of conducted and radiated emissions and susceptibility test methods to characterize and validate avionics and power system hardware intended for spaceflight environments.

You will also be responsible for determining fault current paths and developing design process standards to support build of the space vehicles.
