This role is part of the Lunar Permanence business unit, which develops Blue Origin's Blue Moon landers and related products. To further Blue Origin's mission of millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth, we are building sustainable infrastructure for our transport of crew and cargo from Earth to the lunar surface.

We are a team of collaborators, doers, and problem‑ solvers who are relentlessly committed to a culture of safety. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your commitment and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable space flight. Join us in lowering the cost of access to space and enabling Blue Origin's vision of millions of people living and working in space to benefit Earth.

The Lunar Transportation Program is Blue Origin's team dedicated to developing mission architectures, creating, and feeding new technologies into our existing offerings, building our next generation of leaders, and commercializing new platforms, such as our planned Lunar Lander program, Blue Moon (Link: https://www.blueorigin.com/blue-moon ). Our work scope is broad and deep, forging the path toward our vision of millions of people living and working in space.

We’re shaping our future in space and we're looking for dedicated and inspired people to join us.

As part of a small, passionate, and accomplished team of experts, you will design and develop harnesses to support the Lunar Lander Vehicle Test Bed (VTB), Hardware-In-the-Loop (HIL) test beds and component testers. In a fast-paced dynamic environment, you will support the development, design, and operation of vehicle test bed for system level testing.

We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required!

Responsibilities:

• Developing the engineering, system interconnect diagrams (SID), block interconnect diagrams (BID), wiring interconnect diagrams (WID).
• Integration and installation of electrical harnesses
• As an electrical Cable Harness Design Engineer, you will be responsible for the design of electrical harnesses for power distribution, RF, communication and high-speed data signal, selection of harness components and hardware, connectors, backshells, cable and wire.
• Also understanding and application of EMI/RFI and harness shielding.
• Creation of 3D routed harness data files utilizing 3D CAD software.
• The design and integration of harness support brackets, support design configuration development and trade studies, provide technical guidance for hardware installation.
• You will support the team developing the harness assemblies across the entire product life cycle, from concept and requirements definition, design, analysis, design review, manufacture, test and through release to production.
• We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight.
