Job summary

Blue Origin is seeking an Electrical Engineer to develop avionics hardware for crew interface and habitability systems within the Lunar Permanence unit. You will define electrical interfaces, design circuit cards, and own components through build, test, and flight qualification.

The role requires hands-on execution, systems thinking, and collaboration with vehicle systems, mechanical, test, and manufacturing teams to ensure robust, integrated solutions for safe human spaceflight.

Qualifications

• B.S. in electrical engineering or related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• 7+ years in high-reliability electronics (spacecraft/launch/aviation/defense or similar), including board- and/or box-level design through integration and test.
• Demonstrated ability to produce release-quality artifacts under configuration control (schematics, BoMs, drawings, test procedures/reports).
• Hands-on lab bring-up/debug skills (oscilloscope, DMM, logic analyzer, power supplies, load emulation; failure isolation and re-test).
• Proficiency with ECAD/analysis tools (e.g., Altium/Mentor/KiCad, SPICE), signal analysis, grounding schemes and EMC-aware design fundamentals.
• Strong cross-functional communication with systems, mechanical, software, and mission assurance/quality.

Responsibilities

• Develop avionics hardware (boards and integrated assemblies).
• Understand the full product life-cycle from concept to production release.
• Design analog and digital boards interfacing with avionics systems.
• Collaborate with multiple engineering disciplines in integrated product teams.
• Support risk analyses, FMECA, DFx, and root-cause analysis of test discrepancies.
