Electrical Test Engineer III - TeraWave

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.

Blue Origin is pioneering the future of space-based communications with Tera Wave, a revolutionary satellite communications network designed to deliver symmetrical data speeds of up to 6 Tbps anywhere on Earth. This multi-orbit constellation will consist of optically interconnected satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) and medium Earth orbit (MEO), providing enterprise-grade connectivity for critical operations worldwide.

Blue Origin is seeking an experienced Electrical Test Engineer III to join the AI&T team on the Terawave program. In this role you will own electrical verification campaigns end-to-end — from continuity and interface checks through data bus and fault injection testing — and serve as a technical mentor and production transition lead. You will translate bench electrical test methods into producible, repeatable procedures ready for direct adoption by the production line test team.

• Execute and lead electrical interface checks, continuity/isolation tests, and power bus verification campaigns; manage execution from test readiness through formal report closeout.
• Perform timing and latency characterization across all hardware interfaces; verify data bus operation: CAN, Space Wire, MIL-STD-1553, RS-422, and discrete I/O.
• Conduct fault injection tests; capture results against defined pass/fail criteria and drive anomaly disposition through closure.
• Own and maintain electrical test procedures from development through formal review, release, and post-test red-line incorporation.
• Author formal test reports; support root cause analysis for test failures and escaped defects.
• Serve as production liaison: develop training materials and deliver knowledge transfer sessions to production test engineers covering electrical verification techniques and common failure modes.
• Identify DFT improvements and provide actionable feedback to design and manufacturing engineering.
• Mentor Electrical Test Engineer I and II team members; review their procedures and test reports.
• Coordinate with subsystem engineers on test objectives, success criteria, and design-for-test requirements.
• Support formal acceptance test planning and customer witness test preparation.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a closely related field.
• 5+ years of experience in electrical test, system integration and test, or hardware verification in aerospace, defense, or high-reliability electronics.
• Experience leading or owning electrical test campaigns end-to-end: procedure development, execution, anomaly disposition, and formal test reporting.
• Proficiency with electrical test equipment: oscilloscopes, DMMs, power supplies, data acquisition systems, and data bus analyzers.
• Experience with nonconformance management, anomaly disposition, and corrective action processes.
• Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

• Experience on a satellite, launch vehicle, or defense electronics program.
• Background with data bus protocol testing:
  Space Wire, CAN, MIL-STD-1553, RS-422, or discrete I/O verification.
• Experience developing or delivering technical training for production or operations personnel.
• Familiarity with automated test execution using Python, LabVIEW, GSEOS, COSMOS, or equivalent toolsets.
• Background with ESD controls and workmanship standards (IPC/WHMA-A-620 or equivalent).
• Familiarity with configuration management and nonconformance systems (Windchill, MES, or equivalent).
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to brief test status and anomalies to program leadership.
