Job summary

Blue Origin is seeking an Electrical Engineer to design and integrate avionics hardware for crew interfaces and habitability systems. You will define electrical interfaces, design circuit card assemblies, and own components through build, test and qualification.

You will guide architecture, work with mechanical, software and mission assurance teams, and ensure robust, yet practical implementations while balancing technical rigor with schedule constraints.

Qualifications

• B.S. in electrical engineering or related field.
• 5+ years in high-reliability electronics (spacecraft/launch/aviation/defense or similar).
• 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).
• Design analog and digital boards that interact with avionics systems; include analysis, schematic capture, layout, design review, test/verification and release.
• Collaborate with multiple engineering disciplines in integrated product teams throughout design, build, test, and verification of Crew Systems products
• Support risk analyses, failure modes effects and criticality analyses (FMECA), design for test/manufacture/cost (DFx), and root-cause analysis of test discrepancies.
