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 the Blue Origin Engines business unit, where our focus is the design, development, manufacturing, and testing of engines and propulsion systems.

Built for multiple uses, our family of engines is powering the next generation of rockets for commercial, civil, national security, and human spaceflight.

We are seeking an Embedded Control Electronics Hardware Engineer to design, develop, and validate control board hardware for power conversion and power electronics systems. This role is focused on embedded control electronics, sensing architecture, ADC measurement accuracy, and hardware interfaces between digital control platforms and power electronics hardware. The ideal candidate is a hands-on hardware engineer with strong experience in embedded control board design for power electronics.

They understand how control boards interact with sensors, ADCs, digital controllers, gate drivers, and power stages, and they are comfortable debugging real hardware in the lab.
** Key Responsibilities
*** Design embedded control board hardware for power conversion systems, including converters, inverters, motor drives, and related power electronics platforms.
* Develop control board architectures using microcontrollers, DSPs, FPGAs, ADCs, and mixed-signal circuitry.
* Design voltage, current, and temperature sensing circuits for accurate system monitoring and control.
* Develop signal conditioning, filtering, scaling, isolation, and protection circuitry for sensor inputs.
* Interface analog sensing circuits with ADCs and validate measurement accuracy, resolution, timing, calibration, and noise performance.
* Support schematic design, component selection, PCB layout review, board bring-up, testing, and troubleshooting.
* Work closely with firmware, controls, and power electronics engineers to integrate control boards with power stages, gate drivers, sensors, and communication interfaces.
* Debug control board hardware issues related to ADC readings, sensor accuracy, grounding, EMI, isolation, timing, and protection behavior.
* Validate control board performance in lab environments using oscilloscopes, power supplies, meters, signal generators, and other test equipment.
** Required Qualifications
*** Experience designing embedded control board hardware for power electronics or power conversion systems.
* Strong understanding of microcontrollers, DSPs, FPGAs, ADCs, and digital control hardware.
* Experience with voltage, current, and temperature sensing architecture.
* Knowledge of ADC signal chains, analog front-end design, signal conditioning, filtering, calibration, and measurement accuracy.
* Familiarity with mixed-signal PCB design considerations, including grounding, isolation, noise reduction, EMI, and high-voltage system interfaces.
* Ability to read schematics, review PCB layouts, bring up new hardware, and troubleshoot board-level issues.
* Hands-on lab experience testing and validating embedded control electronics.
* BS Engineering (computer engineering, electrical engineering, or similar) and 5+ years relevant industry experience.
** Preferred Qualifications
*** Experience with power converters,…
