Join to apply for the
Rocket Engine Avionics Architecture, Integration, and Test Engineer
role at
Blue Origin
Overview This position resides within the Avionics & Control Products organization, part of the Engine Business Unit. The day-to-day responsibilities will vary depending on your background and experience. As an avionics architecture, integration, and test engineer, you will work across the systems engineering V to define avionics requirements, architectures, and interfaces, decompose conceptual systems into hardware and software products, design test equipment, and perform integration, test, qualification, and verification of avionics hardware, software, instrumentation, and harnessing into test facilities and onto rocket engines, both remotely and in-person.
There is no “standard day” for this role. We support five rocket engines in varying stages of development and use test facilities ranging from fully virtual hardware emulations to engines and vehicles themselves. You may be called upon to resolve IP conflicts, automate software build pipelines, plot and infer conclusions from sensor readings, inspect avionics systems for damage, design data acquisition systems, or rapidly develop test procedures to validate new capabilities. Your specific experience and interests will guide where you fit in the organization.
Position requires up to 25% travel to rocket engine test sites.
Responsibilities
Define subsystem requirements, architectures, and interfaces
Decompose conceptual systems into physical and software products
Design avionics test equipment
Integrate and test avionics hardware, software, instrumentation, and harnessing into test facilities and onto rocket engines
Identify anomalous behavior, rapidly determine root cause, and implement corrective action independently or with stakeholders
Implement scripts and systems to automate the build, deployment, and verification of engine control software
Validate and verify that engine control systems are meeting customer expectations and requirements
Triage remotely networked systems
Qualifications
Passion for our mission: Millions of people living and working in space!
Minimum of a B.S. degree in computer engineering, software engineering/computer science, electrical engineering, or similar
2+ years (level II) or 5+ years (level III) in systems engineering, electronics integration, system validation and verification, networking, scripting, or test equipment design
Proficiency in Python (or similar)
Experience with data communication protocols
Experience designing signal conditioning and analog-to-digital solutions for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test equipment
Ability to build trustworthy relationships that improve team performance
Strong organizational, analytical, and digital skills
Proven resourcefulness and success with interdisciplinary and multi-functional teams
Hands-on problem solving and avionics integration
Desired
Experience across multiple portions of the product life cycle (Development-Sustainment)
Experience in technical execution for complex electronics systems
Proficiency in Rust and Linux environments
