Electrical Test Engineer III - Space Systems Verification

BLUE ORIGIN; Quinte West; On-site; CAD 154,000 - 234,000; Full time

Job summary

Blue Origin seeks an experienced Electrical Test Engineer III to own electrical verification campaigns from development through production. You will mentor junior engineers, author formal test reports, and coordinate with subsystem teams to ensure fault-free integration of CAN, SpaceWire, MIL-STD-1553, and RS-422 interfaces.

The role requires leading fault-injection tests, creating reusable test procedures, and providing training to production test staff.

Qualifications

• 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.

Responsibilities

• 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, SpaceWire, 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.
