Hardware-systems Engineer Ii

Description:

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!

This role is part of the Blue Origin Engines business unit, where our focus is the design, development, manufacturing and testing of engines and propulsion systems. Built for multiple uses, our family of engines is powering the next generation of rockets for commercial, civil, national security and human spaceflight.

As part of a hardworking team of diverse engineers, you will support the design and development of avionics subsystems that meet Blue Origin’s needs for a variety of liquid propulsion rocket engines for multiple spaceflight systems. The avionics subsystem includes the controller electronics, software, harness interconnects, instrumentation and electronic exciter used on the engine for ignition and powered flight. You support your team through requirements development and decomposition, technical trade study support, risk management, integration, verification, and a myriad of other systems engineering-related activities. These responsibilities will require wide application of systems engineering principles and concepts, plus an understanding of avionics and other related subject areas. You will work with the Engines Design Office and your team in using technical standards and processes to enable robust, right-sized avionics development. This includes sharing lessons learned across the Blue Engines programs to continuously improve how Blue Origin develops avionics and engine control systems.

Responsibilities Include But Are Not Limited To
 

• Mentor, both technically and professionally, new graduate team members
• Develop hardware requirements for engine controller electronics
• Perform technical trade study support
• Draft or review hardware-software interface control document (HW/SW ICD) or hardware design description document
• Draft or review hardware verification activities, procedures, or reports
• Support verification activities for hardware and subsystem integration
• Utilize collaboration tools such as Jama, JIRA, Confluence, Windchill, and Creo
   

Minimum Qualifications
 

• Minimum of a B.S. degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, or related field
• 2+ years of experience in systems engineering or electrical engineering, preferably in avionics systems including hardware requirements development
• Ability to work effectively in collaborative team environments
• Ability to earn trust, maintain positive and professional relationships, and contribute to a culture of inclusion
