Application close date:
Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed.This role is part of Blue Origin Operations, which is comprised of Integrated Supply Chain, Test Operations, Safety, Quality, and Mission Assurance. This includes Manufacturing and Supply Chain support across all Blue Origin facilities.As a systems engineer with established expertise across the full SE development lifecycle, you will own subsystem requirements for electrical systems on New Glenn's launch pad infrastructure. You will deeply understand and communicate the impacts of design and verification decisions, driving cross-functional resolution from specification through verification.
This role requires close collaboration with EGSE (Electrical Ground Support Equipment) and DSCE (Data Systems and Controls Engineering) designers, supporting CONOPS development and building strong working relationships with the engineers and operators who design, build, and test these systems. EGSE and DSCE fall within the "C3" discipline - Command, Communication and Controls. You'll interface regularly with New Glenn Systems Engineering, the Launch Ops Architecture team, and participate in gated design reviews.
We're looking for someone whose core strength is electrical systems, who also brings enough breadth in adjacent disciplines (controls, software, structures, fluids) to understand how electrical subsystems interact with the rest of the vehicle/pad ecosystem.
Responsibilities include but are not limited to:
Co-lead assessment and definition ofelectrical subsystemsolutions for the next-generation Launch Pad
Serve as the SE focal point for one or moreC3 subsystems hands-on collaboration with designers
Electrical ground support equipment (EGSE) design and documentation
Own verification planning, tracking, and coordination for electrical systems, while understandingdownstream impacts on controls, software, and structural interfaces
Plan and coordinate subsystem test/activation/commissioning with the Operations Team
Apply technical expertise to problem solving throughout product lifecycle, including design review support and verification planning and execution, scheduling, etc.
Conduct strategic subsystem lookaheads, flagging emergent risks related to C3or cross-discipline integration issues
Support milestone design reviews with electrical-specific technical rigor, while collaborating effectively with controls, avionics, fluids and structural SEs
Minimum Qualifications
7+ years of hands-on systems or design engineering experience, with a primary emphasis on electrical systems
Working knowledge of continuity system design/conceptualization routing, sizing, component selection, testing
Hands-on build-up or testing experience
Familiarity with at least one additional discipline controls, software, avionics, fluids, or structures sufficient to collaborate effectively across subsystem boundaries (this is a plus, not a requirement to exclude strong electrical-only candidates)
B.S. degree in Mechanical/Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field
Robust written and verbal communication skills ability to translate C3 systems complexity for cross-functional stakeholders
Ability to identify, prioritize, and drive systems engineering tasks independently
Ability to travel up to 25%
Experience with requirement management tools (e.g., DOORS/DNG) or willingness to learn
Experience with aerospace or industrial safety standards and verification methods
Must be a U.S. citizen, national, or permanent resident (Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted refugee/asylee
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with RF systems
Cross-disciplinary experience integrating electrical systems with software/controls/avionics and fluids (e.g., valve actuation logic, sensor integration, automated fluid sequencing)
SE tools: JIRA, Microsoft Project/Visio
Experience conducting Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
Graduate degree in related engineering or technical field
Experience developing and testing complex electronic systems combining hardware, firmware, and software
Experience with Launch Pad and / or Test Operations
Knowledge of NFPA or other standards related to electrical systems
Culture Statement
Don’t meet all desired requirements? Studies have shown that some people are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single desired qualification. At Blue Origin, we are dedicated to building an authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every desired qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.
