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.
As part of a hardworking team of engineers, you will design and build data acquisition and control systems specifically focused for testing space vehicle sub-assemblies and liquid rocket engines. You will contribute to the team's progress by collecting customer specifications, creating electrical design packages, managing build activities through part procurement and vendor management, and supporting installation and activation of systems. Examples of design activities include a 20+ 3G-SDI video monitoring, display, and recording system, accelerometer and rotational speed data acquisition and signal conditioning for turbopump characterization, acoustic monitoring of engine tests, cryogenic liquid characterization using silicon diodes and RTDs, and portable DAQ systems.
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!
Qualifications:
- BS in Electrical/Computer/Software Engineering or equivalent discipline 5 - 10 years' experience with industrial or aerospace control system design or operation
- Ability to design I&C systems using AutoCAD Electrical schematic and panel layout tools.
- Demonstrate knowledge of instrumentation theory coupled with integration into data acquisition hardware (National Instrument, Dewesoft, or similar)
- Experience working with instrumentation: static and dynamic pressure, cryogenic temperature sensors (silicon diodes or RTDs), LVDTs, and accelerometers
- Software development in PLC ladder Logic, Labview, C++ or Python
Desired:
- MS degree in Electrical Engineering
- Experience with video monitoring systems (webcam, 3G-SDI, high speed, infrared, etc.)
- Design experience in noise reduction, shielding, and analog and digital filtering to provide high fidelity measurements
- Experience with analog circuit design using Altium design tools focusing on signal conditioning of high frequency instrumentation
- Tuning closed loop control systems
