Job summary

Blue Origin in Washington state is seeking an Electrical Engineer II to deliver end-to-end electrical engineering solutions across instrumentation, controls, and integration challenges. You will work with a small, high‑impact team on installation, refurbishment, maintenance, and operations.

The role involves collaborating with operations, manufacturing, test, and external partners, applying LOTO and safety practices, and leveraging AI tools to improve analysis and design.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline.
• 3+ years of relevant electrical engineering experience.
• Experience with low‑voltage and medium‑voltage systems including interpreting analyses and studies.
• Experience with instrumentation and controls, including hardware such as Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs).
• Hands on experience with preventative and corrective maintenance, troubleshooting and root‑cause analysis skills.
• Familiarity with Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) and de‑energization procedures.
• Demonstrated experience working in dynamic, high‑energy operational environments.
• Excellent verbal, written, and graphical communication skills.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a fast‑paced, dynamic work environment.
• Proficiency using AI tools in an engineering workflow.

Responsibilities

• Develop, analyze, and implement electrical engineering solutions spanning instrumentation, controls, along with the integration challenges that bridge these domains.
• Serve as a technical contributor on a small team with wide-ranging scope, independently determining technical approaches and adapting to shifting priorities and problem types.
• Interface with multiple stakeholder groups—including operations, manufacturing, test, and external partners—to gather requirements, communicate technical direction, and align on solutions.
• Provide engineering input across supporting disciplines, including safety and failure-effects analysis, systems engineering, configuration management, quality, work‑instruction authoring, work scheduling, technical design/drafting, and process development.
• Perform troubleshooting and root‑cause analysis on electrical and electromechanical systems, and recommend corrective actions.
• Support preventative and corrective maintenance of electrical systems, including identifying and supporting procurement of critical spare parts.
• Configure and support basic networking infrastructures.
• Apply and support Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), de‑energization, and other safe‑work practices in design and execution.
• Design and evaluate electrical systems for installation in hazardous (classified) locations.
• Leverage AI‑enabled engineering tools to improve analysis, documentation, and design efficiency.
• Document designs, analyses, and decisions to support traceability and configuration control.
