Additional Information

Application close date: Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed. At Blue Origin, we envision millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. We're working to develop reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion. Join our team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight! This role supports the development and operations of New Glenn, a single-configuration, heavy-lift orbital launch vehicle capable of routinely carrying people and payloads to low-Earth orbit, geostationary transfer orbit, cislunar, and beyond. Its first stage is fully reusable, and the vehicle was designed from the beginning to be human-capable. As part of a small, hard-working and accomplished team of experts, you will be responsible for avionics controller hardware architecture for various spaceflight systems. You will share in the team's impact on all aspects of avionics engineering product development; architectural definition and hardware and software development (design and verification). You should be comfortable working in fast-paced and often uncertain environments, contributing to innovative solutions, while demonstrating personal leadership, technical competence, and attention to detail. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your dedication and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable spaceflight. We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and dedication to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required! Responsibilities include but are not limited to: Design multi-layer PCBs for complex digital, mixed-signal and high power systems including FPGAs, Microcontrollers Develop PCB layouts for Digital/Analog/RF circuits with careful attention to impedance control, loss tangent, and electromagnetic compatibility Perform signal integrity analysis for high-speed digital interfaces (PCIe, DDR, Ethernet) Conduct power integrity analysis and design power distribution networks (PDN) for low-noise, high-current applications Create component libraries, design rule checks (DRCs), and maintain design standards Collaborate with electrical engineers on component selection, schematic review, and design optimization Generate fabrication and assembly documentation including Gerber files, drill files, and assembly drawings Work with PCB fabricators and CM vendors to ensure manufacturability and resolve fabrication issues Support board bring-up activities, debugging hardware issues related to PCB design Design for space environment considerations including thermal management, radiation tolerance, and mechanical stress
