We’re working to develop reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion. This role is part of Blue National Security (BNS), where our focus is the design, development, and delivery of launch and spacecraft systems for national security missions. Through Blue Ring, our all-in-one, high-powered hybrid solar-electric and chemical-propelled spacecraft, we provide unmatched mission maneuverability, versatility, and capacity at dramatically lower-profile costs. The Blue National Security team is seeking a Senior Electrical Systems Engineer with an emphasis on communications payload integration. This role is to provide technical direction for the electrical architecture of our spacecraft and communications payload systems. You will coordinate with a multidisciplinary team spanning RF, optical communications, command & data handling (C&DH;), power, software, and mechanical, along with external suppliers, to define and deliver space electronics solutions. You will own electrical interface compatibility, functional allocations, and margins across subsystems and payloads, and you will mentor junior engineers along the way. Position includes relocation assistance Travel expectations: Occasional travel (up to 25%) to support production and operations Provide technical direction for a multidisciplinary systems team (RF, optical comms, power, software, mechanical), including suppliers, to create, influence, and define electronics solutions and their interfaces to the spacecraft and payloads Define the electrical requirements needed to ensure end‑to‑end RF communications Provide direction and definition for space electronics systems and components Support trade studies on compatibility, applicability, cost, and technical merit of in‑house and out‑of‑house electronics development efforts Perform electrical system modeling and simulations, inclusive of power quality assessment planning, system and component grounding definition, compatibility of interfaces between system electronics, and electrical effects of mission environment Apply harness best design practices to ensure sound power quality and signal integrity at key interfaces Maintain end‑to‑end electrical compatibility, functional allocations, and margins across subsystems and payloads Participate hands‑on in all phases: design, development, production,
and test Identify technical risks early in the design phase and define mitigations Work with the larger team to resolve electrical hardware anomalies at the component and system level, determine root cause and corrective action for both engineering development and flight hardware Mentor junior engineers on mission considerations and electrical subsystem concepts Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related technical field ~8+ years of experience in electrical systems engineering for space or other high‑reliability systems ~ Demonstrated experience defining power architectures, grounding strategies, and power quality requirements ~ Experience with electrical transient system modeling and simulation (e.G., Understanding of harness design concepts, signal integrity and design implementations, and interface definition ~ Experience supporting integration, test, and anomaly resolution on flight and flight‑like hardware ~ Experience with requirements development, interface control documents (ICDs), and margin management Master’s degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related field Experience with spacecraft charging analysis and mitigation (e.G., Background in RF and optical communications systems and end‑to‑end link electrical requirements Experience with radiation environments and electronic part selection for space Experience with fault tree analysis, FMEA, and root cause/corrective action processes S. security clearance Other site ranges may differ At Blue Origin, we are dedicated to building an authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every desired qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway.
