SLD Avionics Electrical, Electronic, and Electromechanical (EEE) Parts Engineer II - Lunar Permanence (R37951)

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 diverse team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight!  

 

Lunar Permanence is Blue Origin’s team dedicated to developing mission architectures such as our planned Lunar Lander program, Blue Moon (Link: https://www.blueorigin.com/blue-moon ).

Our Lunar Pathfinder mission will demonstrate the lander’s core capabilities – including the privately funded BE-7 landing engine, precision landing sensors, and advanced integrated power and propulsion architecture – on an early New Glenn flight. The team building this vehicle is rethinking how space systems are designed, with a high-performing architecture, efficient reusability, and rapid design iteration. Come join our team and pave the road to a permanent lunar presence. As an Electrical, Electronic, and Electromechanical (EEE) Parts Engineer, you will play a critical role in the selection and approval of Electrical, Electronic, and Electromechanical components for avionics systems. In this innovative and diverse team, you will apply your deep understanding of semiconductor components and work collaboratively with cross-functional teams to identify, evaluate, and approve components our systems.

To be successful in this role, you will need to possess a range of technical skills and experience related to EEE parts engineering for avionics systems. You will need to have a deep understanding of EEE component selection, qualification, and testing processes. You will also need to be familiar with relevant industry and avionics standards such as MIL-STD-1580, ESCC, and ECSS-Q-ST-60, which provide guidance for EEE parts engineering for avionics systems. In addition, you will need to be able to work effectively in a team environment, collaborating with hardware and software engineers to integrate firmware with other system components. You will need to be able to communicate technical information clearly and concisely, both verbally and in writing.

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!
