Job summary

Blue Origin is seeking a Data Acquisition and Controls Engineer II to support the New Glenn Component Test team. You will design electrical schematics, develop DAQ systems, and wire instrumentation for test stands, working with test, manufacturing, and responsible engineers.

This fixed-term role offers hands-on design, documentation, and support from build through test, with emphasis on safe, repeatable spaceflight.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field.
• 2-5 years of relevant professional experience.
• Ability to create and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and harness drawings.
• Working knowledge of data acquisition principles, including sensor types, signal conditioning, grounding/shielding, and ADC.
• Hands-on experience integrating and wiring instrumentation (pressure transducers, thermocouples, load cells, strain gauges).
• Proficiency with electrical/schematic design tools (AutoCAD Electrical, Altium, SolidWorks Electrical, or similar).
• Experience using test equipment such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, and DAQ systems for checkout/troubleshooting.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail.
• Ability to work effectively in a collaborative, fast-paced engineering environment.
• 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

• Design and document electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and cable/harness assemblies for component test systems supporting the New Glenn program.
• Develop, configure, and maintain data acquisition (DAQ) systems to capture, condition, and manage measurements from instrumented test articles and test stands.
• Integrate and wire sensors and instrumentation including pressure transducers, thermocouples, RTDs, strain gauges, load cells, and accelerometers.
• Create and maintain harness drawings, wire lists, connector pinouts, and interconnect documentation to support fabrication, checkout, and troubleshooting.
• Specify and select DAQ hardware, signal conditioning, cabling, connectors, and related electrical components.
• Support the build, checkout, and commissioning of test systems, including continuity checks, instrumentation calibration verification, and end-to-end signal validation.
• Collaborate with test and responsible engineers to define instrumentation and measurement requirements, channel lists, and data architecture.
• Troubleshoot and resolve electrical, wiring, and DAQ issues during tester bring-up and test operations.
• Maintain thorough documentation of electrical designs, harness configurations, and instrumentation setups under configuration control.
• Provide instrumentation and electrical support to the broader Component Test team and support test execution activities as needed.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of test infrastructure, electrical design standards, and instrumentation practices.
