Avionics Hardware Engineer III – Lunar Permanence Verified today
Blue Origin's Lunar Permanence business unit develops Blue Moon landers and infrastructure for sustainable crew and cargo transport to the lunar surface. As an Avionics Hardware Engineer III in the Core Avionics organization, you will drive the design and delivery of flight-critical avionics products that enable lunar exploration.
What you will do:
- Own the complete lifecycle of assigned avionics hardware products or major elements: requirements, architecture, design, build, integration, verification, qualification, production, and sustainment.
- Drive technical decisions, requirements decomposition, interface definition, trade studies, and product architecture for integrated avionics hardware.
- Plan and execute hands-on hardware integration, verification, qualification, and acceptance testing; troubleshoot test anomalies using electronic test equipment and resolve issues to root cause.
- Work directly with manufacturers and suppliers on PCB assembly, box build, inspection, acceptance, nonconformance resolution, and delivery of flight-quality hardware.
- Lead cross-functional issue resolution with electrical hardware, mechanical, embedded software, FPGA, controls, systems, manufacturing, and mission assurance teams.
Minimum qualifications:
- Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related technical field.
- 6+ years designing, developing, building, integrating, testing, or verifying avionics, electronic hardware, embedded systems, or comparable high-reliability hardware products.
- Demonstrated experience independently leading significant portions of the hardware development lifecycle, including requirements, design, build, test, verification, and release.
- Experience with digital, analog, and/or mixed-signal hardware development: component selection, derating, tolerancing, schematic review, PCB design, or electronic packaging.
- Strong hands-on troubleshooting using laboratory test equipment, with demonstrated ability to conduct root-cause analysis and implement corrective actions for hardware failures or test anomalies.
Preferred qualifications:
- Master of Science in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related technical field.
- Experience developing product architectures, product requirements, interface definitions, and technical specifications for integrated avionics hardware.
- Experience with environmental qualification of avionics hardware: vibration, shock, thermal-vacuum, EMI/EMC, radiation, or reliability testing.
- Experience with circuit analysis and simulation: worst-case circuit analysis, signal-integrity analysis, SPICE simulation, grounding, or board-layout practices.
- Familiarity with aerospace hardware-development practices and standards: requirements-based verification, configuration management, FMECA, MIL-STD, DO-160, ARP4754, DO-254, or comparable standards.
