Electrical Power Systems Engineer III

Application close date:

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!

As part of a hardworking team you will work as an Electrical Power Systems(EPS)
Engineer within the Avionics team on the Crewed Lander.

EPS scope includes power generation, storage, regulation, control, and distribution to vehicle subsystems and payloads.

This position will specifically focus in on Power Management and Distribution (PMAD), providingoversightand guidance to ensurecomponentlevel design meets vehicle needs.

Thiswill directlyimpactthe history of space exploration, and your dedicated commitment and detailed attention will further the cause of safe and repeatable spaceflight.

You will write your respective subsystem's functional and performance requirements, lead/support integrated analysis, and plan the verification and validation campaign to ensure safe and reliable operations in space. You will alsorepresentyour system in cross-functional trades and impact studies for architectures and vehicles that you support.

We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positivelyimpactsafe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required!

Special Mentions:

• Relocation provided

• Travel expected up to 25% of the time during certain phases of the project

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Support trade studies and supply knowledge to help down-select spacecraft electrical power system architectures appropriate for mission requirements.

• Support subsystem andcomponentrequirement development and management

• Support development of detailed requirement verification and validation plans

• Track V&V activities to successful completion, which may include reviewing subsystem test plans and possible travelto test facilities when needed.

• Analyze anddeterminecompliant grounding/bonding strategies and architectures

• Design and analyze electrical systems for EMI/EMC compliance

• Perform analyses such as voltage drop/line loss,componentderating/stress analysis, thermaleffectsand worst-case analysis.

• Trade design requirements such as reliability, cost, modularity, and efficiency for power management and distribution (PMAD) components

• Effectively communicate development status, risks, and challenges to management.

• Work closely with systems and design engineers to develop integrated design solutions - rapidly assess conceptual designs and iterate.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineeringor related disciplines

• Strong understanding of Systems Engineering principles and practices such as requirements definition, requirements traceability, functional decomposition, and verification and validation.

• A breadth of understanding in electrical engineering such as developing complex circuit cards, consumer electronics, wireless devices, or other advanced electronic commercial or aerospace products

• Experience with analog, digital and mixed-signal circuit analysis, simulation, design, test, troubleshooting, signal integrity, power, and grounding and general board layout principles

• Ability to earn trust,maintain positive and professional relationships, and supply to a culture of collaboration

Preferred Qualifications:

• M.S. in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related technical subject area

• 5+ years of space systems engineering orequivalentexperience in other highly complex industry areas (such as automotive)

• Experience with requirements development/management tools such asJAMA orDOORS Next Gen

• Experience with systems engineering modeling tools, such as Cameo.

• Demonstrated experience designing high reliability safety-critical, Class 2/3 board assemblies; familiarity with IPC-A-600/610, DO-254 and similar standards

• Experience with launch vehicle Avionics systems hardware development, integration, and test

• Scripting, Programming and Analysis: TCL, Python, Linuxshelland Windows batch scripting; C / C++; MATLAB / Simulink, HSPICE and HFSS (or similar modeling/analysis tools)
