BLUE ORIGIN
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 is part of Advanced Concepts and Enterprise Engineering (ACE), supporting Blue Origin's mission of millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. The team fosters innovation and drives engineering workflows of the future, shared solutions and standards, simplicity and lower costs, and manufacturable design. As part of a small, passionate and accomplished team of experts in the Systems and Avionics Center of Excellence, you will provide experienced technical leadership to Blue Origin program personnel and the established Radiation Effects team. From mission inception to operation, you will ensure success of Blue Origin's systems. You will actively engage program leadership and engineers to drive intelligent system design, part selection, subcontracts, and analyses.

standard radiation environment modeling tools (ex: IRENE, OMERE, SIRE2, SPENVIS, OLTARIS, CREME96, SAPPHIRE, ESP/PSYCHIC)
application of fundamental statistical methods
presenting radiation requirements, results, and plans to peers and customers to meet program/customer needs
Strong familiarity with the following:
the effects of ionizing/non-ionizing radiation on electronics
basic and complex discrete and integrated circuits (transistors, logic, memories, microcontrollers, FPGAs, etc.)
industry-standard radiation effects analyses (environment definition, SEECA, TID analysis, DDD analysis, etc.)
radiation effects testing (SEE, TID, DDD)
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Ability to work with minimal oversight regarding radiation effects on electronics
Domestic travel required. Foreign travel possible.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience in the following:
the use of commercial or automotive parts in a radiation environment
producing detailed program-deliverable documentation (control plans, test plans/reports, design reviews, system-level analyses, etc.)
leading technical projects from inception to completion
radiation transport and other analysis tools (ex: MCNP, NOVICE, FASTRAD, GEANT4, OLTARIS)
Familiarity with the following:
radiation assessments and mitigation for human space crews
radiation effects on spacecraft materials
laboratory equipment for radiation effects test (power supplies, data acquisition systems, electronic loads, SMUs, etc.)
rad-tolerant and rad-hard offerings of space electronics providers
Proficiency with programming languages, platforms, and protocols: Python, C, Gitlab, SQL, I2C, SPI
Basic electronics lab skills include soldering; use of oscilloscopes, multimeters, and logic analyzers
Project management skills and experience
Experience with ownership of end-to-end radiation effects analysis, schedule execution, etc., for a program or product
Experience in development, planning and execution of Integrated Master Schedules
Experience with Primavera (P6) or similar Project Management tools
