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 Lunar Permanence business unit, which develops Blue Origin’s Blue Moon landers and related products.

To further Blue Origin's mission of millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth, we are building sustainable infrastructure for our transport of crew and cargo from Earth to the lunar surface.

As an Avionics Components Test Engineer on the Lunar Core Components team, you will serve as the test engineer for one or more Power Generation & Distribution units reused across multiple vehicles and mechanisms supporting human lunar missions. You will partner directly with Responsible Engineers (REs) to define test strategies, develop test plans and procedures, and execute development, risk reduction, qualification, and acceptance test campaigns.

You will work within a multi-disciplinary test team and interface with vehicle teams, NASA, and National Team Partners to ensure controllers meet performance, fault tolerance, and safety objectives.

The Power Generation units you may support include:
* Batteries* Solar Array Regulator
* Solar Panels The Power Distribution units you may support include:
* High Voltage Distribution Box
* Dual Voltage Distribution Box
** Responsibilities include but are not limited to:
*** Own the test scope for one or more Power Generation & Distribution units as the test engineer, partnering with the RE to understand requirements, design intent, interfaces, and fault-tolerant behavior
* Plan, write, and execute test plans and procedures for development, risk reduction, qualification, and acceptance testing
* Support bench bring-up and early hardware characterization alongside the design team
* Define and execute Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test strategies where applicable
* Support environmental test campaigns (thermal-vacuum, vibration, EMI/EMC) including test planning, procedure execution, and anomaly resolution
* Drive verification closure: map test evidence to requirements, track open items, and ensure test reports meet qualification standards
* Identify, document, and track test anomalies through to resolution in coordination with the RE and broader team
* Contribute to test infrastructure development including test equipment selection, test bed design, and ground support equipment (GSE) needs
* Communicate test status, risks, and results clearly; support and lead technical reviews at appropriate milestones
* Apply lessons learned and best practices across the controller family to improve test efficiency and reuse
*
* Minimum Qualifications:

*** B.S. or B.A. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a relevant technical field
* 5+ years of hands-on experience testing and/or integrating electronic systems or devices
* Sound understanding of electronics and electrical circuit fundamentals
* Experience developing and executing test plans and procedures in a structured engineering environment
* Familiarity with embedded controller behavior including fault detection, isolation, and recovery (FDIR), safe states, and built-in test
* Experience supporting or leading environmental qualification test campaigns (thermal, vibration, EMI/EMC, or equivalent)
* Ability to read and interpret schematics, ICDs, and requirements documents
* Strong written and verbal communication skills, including documenting test results and supporting technical reviews
*
* Preferred Qualifications:

*** Experience testing Batteries, voltage distribution systems, or Solar Arrays
* Experience with spacecraft or aerospace mechanism controllers (e.g.,…
