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 the Lunar Permanence business unit, which develops Blue Origin’s Blue Moon landers and related products. To further Blue Origin's mission of millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth, we are building sustainable infrastructure for our transport of crew and cargo from Earth to the lunar surface. Join a hard working team of engineers to develop advanced digital and mixed signal electrical circuits for high-performance spaceflight computer systems, directly impacting the future of human spaceflight. Contribute to the thoughtful design and integration phase the team is supporting for analysis and electrical hardware design, pioneering spacecraft systems. Blue Origin values collaboration, trust, and a culture of safety, and a bias for action recognizing each team member's input.
Responsibilities
Deliver space-rated avionics sub-systems including requirements development, design, testing, system integration, verification planning, and execution.
