Sr Electromagnetic Design Engineer

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!

Blue Origin is growing a team developing advanced electromagnetic and power systems technology.

We're looking for a Senior Electromagnetic Design Engineer to own electromagnetic design work - from magnetic circuit sizing through detailed electromagnetic and thermal analysis - supporting a new generation of power systems hardware. You'll work across the full development lifecycle: concept sizing, detailed design, analysis correlation, support through first-build test and field support. This is a hands‑on design role on a small, high‑output team where you'll own subsystems end‑to‑end rather than a narrow slice of a large program.

• Perform electromagnetic design and sizing of core electromagnetic components, including magnetic circuit design and material selection (magnetic steels, permanent magnets, insulation systems)
• Conduct detailed electromagnetic finite element analysis (FEA) to predict performance, losses, and flux distribution
• Develop and correlate coupled electromagnetic‑thermal models to predict component temperatures under transient and steady‑state operating conditions
• Analyze performance under fault and off‑nominal conditions and support protection/coordination requirements
• Generate design documentation, drawings, and specifications for procurement and manufacturing
• Support prototype build, instrumentation planning, and first-build test and validation
• Collaborate closely with mechanical, power conversion, and controls engineers on integrated system design
• Identify and drive resolution of design risks using data and analysis

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field, plus 8+ years of relevant experience (or equivalent combination of education and experience)
• Demonstrated experience in electromagnetic design of electric machines or electromagnetic power equipment
• Proficiency with electromagnetic FEA tools (e.g., ANSYS Maxwell, JMAG, Motor-CAD, or equivalent)
• Strong fundamentals in electromagnetics and materials (core steels, magnet grades, insulation systems)
• Experience taking a design from concept through detailed design and into hardware
• Ability to obtain and maintain any required government security clearance/access, as applicable
• Experience with coupled electromagnetic‑thermal‑structural analysis
• Must be able to comply with U.S. export control regulations, which may require U.S. citizenship or lawful permanent resident status

• Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering with a power/electromagnetics focus
• Experience with high-performance or high-reliability electromagnetic equipment
• Familiarity with industry electromagnetic equipment design and testing standards
• Hands‑on experience with equipment test and validation (temperature rise, efficiency, fault testing)
• Experience in aerospace, energy, or other highly regulated/high‑reliability industries

Ability to work in an office and lab/manufacturing environment, including occasional exposure to hardware test areas; may require standing, bending, lifting up to 25 lbs, and use of PPE.

Base Pay Range for: WA applicants is $ - $
