Job summary

Blue Origin is seeking an experienced avionics engineer to develop boards and integrated assemblies for the New Glenn program, from concept and requirements through prototyping, verification and production release.

You will design analog, digital and mixed-signal circuits, perform analysis and tests, and support risk, FMECA and design for test. Strong communication and collaboration are essential; aerospace hardware experience and IPC/NASA standards familiarity are preferred.

Qualifications

• Undergraduate degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering or related field with 5+ years of direct experience in electronics hardware development.
• Direct hands-on experience developing sophisticated commercial or aerospace electronic assemblies (designing custom cards or integrating COTS hardware).
• Direct hands-on experience with analog, digital and mixed-signal circuit analysis, simulation, design, test, debug, signal integrity, power, grounding and board layout.
• Exposure to analog and digital filters, signal conditioning and signal processing using discrete components.
• Familiarity with use of sophisticated computational devices (combinational and sequential logic) to supervise sensors and control actuators; including design, development and verification.
• Highly organized standout colleague with excellent technical communication skills (written and verbal).

Responsibilities

• Develop avionics hardware (boards and integrated assemblies). Have a solid understanding of the entire product life-cycle, including concept and requirements definition, design, prototyping, verification (power-on, functional / acceptance / qualification testing) and release to production.
• Develop analog and digital boards that interact with avionics systems (including sensors and electromechanical/electrohydraulic actuators); including analysis, schematic capture, layout, design review, test/verification and release.
• Support avionics architecture trades studies, analyses, performance characterization and specification, device selection, and controller roadmap direction.
• Support risk analyses, failure modes effects and criticality analyses (FMECA), design for test/manufacture/cost (DFx), and root‑cause analysis of test discrepancies.
• Participate in program level technology development, mission assurance and safety initiatives, and avionics development process improvements.
