Full Job Description
Application close date:
Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed.

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.

We are a dynamic team of collaborators, doers, and problem-solvers who are relentlessly committed to a culture of safety. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your commitment and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable space flight. Join us in lowering the cost of access to space and enabling Blue Origin's vision of millions of people living and working in space to benefit Earth.

This role is for a test harness and electrical designer who is accustomed to owning requirements collection, harness design, and drawing creation all while needing to meet quick turnaround times and high, but not production, quality. This individual should be able to start with minimal harness definition provided by our test engineers, determine where there are requirements/definition gap and engage with test engineers to close them, and then drive rapidly to a released design.

We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required!

Minimum Qualifications
  • Associate's/Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Electronics Design Technology, Engineering Technology, or a related technical discipline
  • Minimum of 3 years of applicable experience in the following:
    • Cable harness design, procurement, fabrication, and testing
    • Experience and/or exposure to architecting, designing, and deliver large scale cable installations
    • connector systems and associated accessories
  • Knowledge of cable shield grounding/bonding methods and requirements
  • Knowledge of Creo CAD and Windchill PDM systems
  • Knowledge of AutoCAD Electrical
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • Lead design reviews for own work, and coordinate across cross-functional teams (avionics, electrical systems, manufacturing).
  • 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.


Preferred Qualifications
  • 5-8+ years of applicable experience
  • Experience with launch vehicle, aircraft, or spacecraft integration and test
  • Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE) design experience, design of test/checkout boxes, breakout and interface panels, and vehicle-to-ground electrical interfaces.
