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, hard-working and accomplished team of experts, you will be responsible for avionics controller hardware architecture for various spaceflight systems. You will share in the team's impact on all aspects of avionics engineering product development; architectural definition and hardware and software development (design and verification). You should be comfortable working in fast-paced and often uncertain environments, contributing to innovative solutions, while demonstrating personal leadership, technical competence, and attention to detail.
This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your dedication and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable spaceflight.
We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and dedication to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required!
** Responsibilities:
*** Develop avionics hardware (boards and integrated assemblies). Have a solid understanding of the entire product life-cycle; including concept and requirements definition, design, prototyping, verification (power-on, functional / acceptance / qualification testing) and release to production.
* Develop analog and digital boards that interact with avionics systems (including sensors and electromechanical/electrohydraulic actuators); including analysis, schematic capture, layout, design review, test/verification and release.
* Support avionics architecture trades studies, analyses, performance characterization and specification, device selection, and controller roadmap direction.
* Support risk analyses, failure modes effects and criticality analyses (FMECA), design for test/manufacture/cost (DFx), and root-cause analysis of test discrepancies.
* Participate in program level technology development, mission assurance and safety initiatives, and avionics development process improvements.
*
* Qualifications:
*** Undergraduate degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering or related field with 7+ years of direct experience in electronics hardware development
* Direct hands-on experience developing sophisticated commercial or aerospace electronic assemblies (designing custom cards or integrating COTS hardware).
* Direct hands-on experience with analog, digital and mixed-signal circuit analysis, simulation, design, test, debug, signal integrity, power, grounding and layout.
* Exposure to analog and digital filters, signal conditioning and signal processing using discrete components.
* Familiarity with use of sophisticated computational devices (combinational and sequential logic) to supervise sensors and control actuators; including design, development and verification.
* Highly organized teammate with excellent technical communication skills (written and verbal)
** Preferred:
*** Graduate degree in related engineering or technical field with 10+ years of direct experience in electronics hardware development
* Demonstrated expertise designing high-reliability, safety-critical, Class 2/3 board assemblies; including familiarity with IPC 6xx and NASA-STD-8739.n (or similar) standards.
* Proficiency using Altium/Cadence OrCAD / Allegro (or similar tools) to design sophisticated aerospace boards; and experience working with external board manufacturing and assembly vendors.
* Exposure to designing safety or critically important aerospace flight hardware aligned with DO-254.
* Exposure to development of high-reliability, radiation-tolerant, radiation-hardened flight hardware intended for prolonged exposure to extreme space environments.### Compensation Range for:
