Avionics Cable Harness Design Engineer III - New Glenn Stage 2 (Fixed-Term)

Apply for the Avionics Cable Harness Design Engineer III - New Glenn Stage 2 (Fixed-Term) role at Blue Origin.

Application Close Date:
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 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 an Avionics Engineer you’ll play a pivotal role in the New Glenn Rocket program, collaborating with a skilled team to design, develop, and qualify critically important avionics hardware, enabling reliable and reusable spaceflight.

As part of a hardworking team of specialists, technicians, and engineers, you will directly contribute to planning, selection, development, sourcing and acceptance of avionics hardware for next‑generation launch vehicles. In a fast‑paced dynamic environment, you will play a crucial role in the integration and support of new avionics hardware for the New Glenn program. You will work closely with GNC engineers, electrical, mechanical, software, systems engineering, configuration & data management and assembly, integration & test, to ensure that the hardware components meet the requirements and perform as expected.

You will also be involved in troubleshooting and resolving hardware‑related issues during production, integration, and post‑flight phases.
