Job summary

Blue Origin is seeking a Systems Engineer for Electrical Systems and EPS to own the technical thread from objectives through requirements, architecture, interfaces, budget integration, verification, and flight evidence. Collaborate with electrical design leads and connect spacecraft bus, payload, propulsion, flight software, and mission operations teams.

The role requires 5+ years in spacecraft systems engineering and a strong background in EPS architectures, power electronics, batteries, solar

Qualifications

• B.S. in electrical engineering, aerospace engineering, systems engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• 5+ years of experience in spacecraft systems engineering, electrical power systems, avionics integration, or complex high-reliability electrical systems.
• Working knowledge of EPS architectures, power electronics, batteries, solar arrays, protection/switching, harnessing, electrical interfaces, grounding/bonding, or EMI/EMC.
• Demonstrated experience writing and managing requirements, performing architecture trades, defining interfaces, and developing verification plans.
• Ability to interface with power-budget owners and review operating-mode analyses, block diagrams, interface documentation, and integrated test scenarios.
• Ability to lead cross-functional technical closure in an environment with evolving architecture, aggressive schedules, and multiple stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Own the Electrical Systems and EPS requirements baseline, architecture products, interface definition, technical-budget integration, verification strategy, and closure evidence.
• Derive, allocate, and manage verifiable electrical-system requirements, and maintain traceability among power and data block diagrams, equipment lists, operating modes, interfaces, analyses, schematics, and verification events.
• Interface with electrical power-budget owners for nominal, peak, transient, contingency, safe-mode, beginning-of-life, and end-of-life cases; reconcile assumptions among DRM, PEL/MEL, thermal loads, propulsion, payload duty cycles, and radiation degradation.
• Lead electrical architecture trades involving bus voltage, battery topology, solar-array sizing, PCDU functions, load switching, redundancy, cross-strapping, umbilicals.
• Lead requirements, interface, verification, and test-readiness reviews, and coordinate anomaly resolution with the responsible hardware and test teams.
• Create integrated verification plans and cross-reference matrices; support flatsat, hardware-in-the-loop, subsystem, spacecraft, environmental, and mission-scenario testing and drive discrepancies to closure.
• Manage electrical-system risks, decisions, assumptions, technical performance measures, configuration changes, and change-impact assessments across requirements, models, diagrams, ICDs, equipment lists, hardware definition, and test procedures.
