Electrical Systems Architect II

Application close date:

Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed.

At Blue Origin, we envision millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. We’re working to develop reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion. Join our team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight!  

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 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. 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.  

The New Glenn team is seeking your talents to help us develop the next generation Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE) system. This role directly supports providing high throughput and low-cost access to space. In this role, you will drive the architecture of an EGSE system that can accommodate multiple, emerging New Glenn variants that are at various stages of implementation. You will perform trades to optimize system performance and work with stakeholders to understand current processes and define desired future states. Your efforts will have widespread impacts, ensuring we continue to develop innovative solutions with on time implementation.

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!

 
Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Drive architecture for a simple, flexible EGSE system that accommodates existing and future New Glenn variants as well as unique payload customer needs

• Perform trades using stakeholder input to quickly determine solutions across the flight and ground elements

• Oversee concept development and feasibility studies for solutions that integrate emergent upgrades/ programs into existing or new infrastructure

• Document baselined architecture in early phases along with their associate assumptions and risks

• Ensure the systems are designed with operability considerations for all processes

Minimum Qualifications:

• B.S. degree in electrical engineering or related field

• 2+ years of experience in electrical engineering or systems engineering/architecture

• Understand high voltage power storage and distribution systems

• Experience with electrical harnessing and instrumentation

• Experience with hazardous systems/environments

• Ability to work effectively in collaborative team environments and drive towards decisions

• Demonstrated ability to work effectively in collaborative, team environments - we seek people who 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 Traits:

• Go-getter - Success in this role is tied heavily to your ability to pull in the critical stakeholders and drive decisions to closure

• Strong technical writing skills - we iterate continuously to ensure our processes match or exceed the rate at which we launch and test; as such we need someone who can efficiently update products so they can be leveraged across the team, quickly
