Blue Ring Test Engineer II - Second Shift Security Clearance

Position: Blue Ring Test Engineer II - Second Shift with Security Clearance
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!

The role is part of the In-Space Systems business unit, which is focused on addressing two of the most compelling challenges in spaceflight today: space infrastructure and increasing mobility on-orbit. This role is part of the Blue National Security Business Unit supporting the Blue Ring program. As a part of a hardworking team of engineers, you will own a significant scope of electrical integration and test efforts for various space vehicles in the Hardware in the Loop (HIL) laboratory.

This includes validating the integration of electrical subsystems into a spacecraft, collaborating on the development of Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE), and participating in launch operations. In a fast-paced, dynamic environment, you will collaborate on and test spacecraft script development, and coordinate across product teams to ensure the successful test campaigns of integrated spacecraft. You will lead elements of electrical test execution during vehicle integration.

You will contribute to optimally completing major test campaigns in the HIL, supporting risk reduction of vehicle test, including developing test equipment, executing tests, debugging integration issues, and compiling test reports. We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact the Blue Ring program. Passion for our mission and vision is required!

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:
* Plan, architect, and coordinate the resources vital to execute the testing of spacecraft electrical systems.

* Test spacecraft hardware and integrated spacecraft in the HIL development environment.

* Conduct test design reviews, integration readiness reviews, and test readiness reviews for your events.

* Coordinate with design engineer subject matter experts across each affected system under test to execute risk reduction and/or verification run for record events as appropriate.

* Identify, communicate, and mitigate cost, schedule, and technical risks.

Minimum Qualifications:

* B.S. in Aerospace, Electrical, Mechanical, Physics, Systems Engineering, or related technical subject area.

* 3+ years of relevant, post-graduation, experience in specified engineering field(s).

* Proven track record conducting tests on aerospace flight hardware for NASA, Commercial Space, or Department of Defense (DoD) Missile Systems.

* Experience working with flight hardware in a production facility or laboratory.

* Experience developing test infrastructure drawings, configuring test articles, and conducting testing of spacecraft articles with an emphasis on electrical systems.

* Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, engineering industry standards, and technical requirements.

* Ability to perform data analysis and reduction and present technical information in a clear and compelling visual format.

* Strong safety demeanor and experience, including hands-on experience planning and conducting hazardous or critical operations.

* Excellent verbal, written, and graphical communication skills.

* Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, dynamic work environment.

* Ability to earn trust and maintain positive and professional relationships.

Preferred Qualifications:

* Experience with Spacecraft/Missile launch preparation testing and/or launch console operation.

* Experience with analytical and scripting tools: MATLAB, LabVIEW, Python, Open C3, Ruby, or C++.

* Experience developing and maintaining test scripts.

* Experience developing test programs for Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) labs or Software Integration Labs (SIL).

* Experience with requirements development/management tools;
Windchill, DOORS, DOORS Next Gen, and lifecycle management (PLM) and/or data.

* Experience conducting thermal, vibration, shock, and/or vacuum testing on flight hardware in accordance with MIL-STD-810, SMC-S-016, and MIL-STD-1540.

* Experience developing Test Equipment Systems for flight avionics or Integrated System tests.

* Experience with System Integration Testing, Electrical Test, Component Testing, Environmental Test, or Propulsion Test of space flight hardware. Special Mentions:
* Travel of up to 25% is required.

* TS/SCI security clearance desired or ability to obtain. Base Pay Range for: WA applicants is $99,201.00 - $ Other site ranges may differ Culture Statement Don't meet all desired requirements?
