This role is part of the Test & Flight Operations team, providing centralized support to business units with a focus on the design, build, and maintenance of the ground systems, test, and launch facilities across multiple locations.

We are a diverse 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.

We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight.

Responsibilities include:

  • Applying standard engineering techniques to design, develop, and maintain instrumentation or controls systems.
  • Automating manufacturing or similar processes using instrumentation or controls systems.
  • Ownership in setting up new, commissioning, or updating test stations.
  • Troubleshooting and resolving malfunctions and making recommendations that will improve efficiency or quality of operations.
  • Documenting specifications and operating procedures.

As part of a team of engineers, you will lead and support the creation, development, operation, and maintenance of space vehicle and rocket engine component test stations and facilities, with a focus on data acquisition and control systems.

You will contribute to the team's progress by collaborating with customers, test operations, and the design team to maintain software and hardware configuration as well as facility test cadence.

Minimum Qualifications:

  • 3+ years end-to-end experience with industrial or aerospace control system design and operation.
  • Good experience in at least one programming language: LabVIEW, Python, or C++.
  • Full system level integration experience of software, hardware, and electrical.
  • BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Engineering Technology, or related field with a combination of software/hardware development experience.
  • Start to finish system design experience.
  • Ability to design electrical circuits using CAD based schematic and panel layout tools (preferably AutoCAD Electrical).
  • Proficiency with electrical diagnostic equipment (multimeters, oscilloscopes, etc.) to troubleshoot instrumentation and control circuits.
  • Ability to earn trust, maintain positive and professional relationships, and contribute to a culture of inclusion.
  • 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:

  • Experience leading teams from concept to product delivered.
  • Experience with PLC and Ladder Logic.
  • Experience with designing box level automation.

Experience working with instrumentation:

  • Static and dynamic pressure, cryogenic temperature sensors (silicon diodes or RTDs), LVDTs, and accelerometers.
  • Software development or troubleshooting of NI LabVIEW systems or PLC controllers coupled with OPC communications (preferably Allen-Bradley).
  • Tuning closed loop control systems.

At Blue Origin, we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace, so if you're excited about this role but your past experience doesn't align perfectly with every desired qualification, we encourage you to apply anyway.

Benefits include:

  • Medical, dental, vision, basic and supplemental life insurance, paid parental leave, short and long-term disability, 401(k) with a company match of up to 5%, and an Education Support Program.
  • Paid Time Off: Up to four (4) weeks per year based on weekly scheduled hours, and up to 14 company-paid holidays.
  • Discretionary bonus: Bonuses are designed to reward individual contributions as well as allow employees to share in company results.

Blue Origin is proud to be an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer and is committed to attracting, retaining, and developing a highly qualified, diverse, and dedicated work force.

We support the establishment and maintenance of a workplace that fosters trust, equality, and teamwork, in which all employees recognize and appreciate the diversity of individual team members.
