Application close date:
Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed.The role is part of the In-Space Systems business unit, which is focused on addressing two of the most compelling challenges in spaceflight today: space infrastructure and increasing mobility on-orbit.As part of theBlue National Security – Core Systems & Components Team, you will be at the forefront of developing groundbreaking systems that will connect our future in space. We areseekinga passionate and accomplished engineer to own the critical transition of theinternal harnessing and electronics packaging for our flight-qualifiedcomponent fromideation todevelopment to high-rate production. This is a rare opportunity to directly shape the manufacturability, reliability, and scalability of a cornerstone technology for Blue Origins future.
Responsibilities:
As a Level 4 Harnessing and Packaging Engineer, you will serve as a technical leader responsible for the design, integration, and production readiness of allinternal harnessing and packaging within theTeraWaveflight product. You will apply yourexpertiseto mature our designs, ensuring they are not only robust for the space environment but alsooptimizedfor efficient, large-scale,automatedmanufacturing.
Design for Manufacturing & Assembly (DFM/DFA):Proactively embed DFM/DFA principles into all stages of the design cycle forall internalharnesses, enclosures,PCB/PCBAs,and electronic assemblies.
Production Transition Leadership:Own and lead the technical effort to transition complexproduct-internal harnessing and packaging designsfrom low-rateinitialbuilds to a high-rate production environment.
Process Development:Collaborate directly with manufacturing engineers and suppliers to define, develop, andvalidateproduction processes, tooling, and test procedures to achieve required production rates and quality.
Technical Design:Design and release detailed 3D models and 2D drawings forall internal wire harnesses, cable assemblies, and electronics enclosures thatconstitutetheTeraWaveproduct assemblyusingAltium,Creo,SolidWorks,and Windchill. Perform trade studies oncomponentselection, materials, and manufacturing techniques tooptimizefor cost, schedule, and performance.
Supplier Collaboration:Act as the primary technical point of contact for external suppliers, guiding them on design intent, resolving manufacturing challenges, and qualifying their processes for high-volume production.
Analysis & Verification:Oversee and contribute to structural, thermal, and vibration analysis of electronic packaging. Develop and execute verification and validation test campaigns (qualification, acceptance, etc.).
Mentorship:Mentor junior engineers, sharing best practices in design for manufacturing,product internalharness design, and product maturation.
