Job summary

Blue Origin seeks an experienced Electrical Systems Engineer to own the EPS requirements baseline, architecture products, interfaces, verification strategies, and closure evidence for the TeraWave program. You will derive, allocate, and manage verifiable electrical-system requirements and ensure traceability across diagrams, equipment lists, and test plans.

You will lead architecture trades, coordinate with power-budget owners, and drive cross-functional technical closure in an environment of

Qualifications

• B.S. in electrical engineering, aerospace engineering, systems engineering, or 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.
• Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

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.
