Role Overview

This role is part of Advanced Concepts and Enterprise Engineering (ACE), supporting Blue Origin's mission of millions of people living and working in space. You will apply your hardware design expertise to develop and maintain the company-wide eCAD parts library for avionics and aerospace PCB design.

Your Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain corporate eCAD component libraries, including part footprints, schematic symbols and related component information
  • Design and layout common circuit blocks to support high-performance, high-reliability PCBs for aerospace applications
  • Use Altium Designer to create detailed PCB layout design files from schematics (Gerbers, FAB and ASY drawings, and related documentation)
  • Ensure design and manufacturing practices adhere to industry standards and regulations
  • Troubleshoot and resolve PCB design and layout issues
  • Contribute to PCB/PCBA design reviews by providing design artifacts, DFM/DFA/DFT assessments and value-added information
  • Collaborate in defining PCB development process improvements, procedures and checklists
  • Work with cross-functional teams of mechanical, electrical, firmware and software engineers to ensure design requirements are met
  • Check the quality of work from other layout resources, including internal and external teams
  • Support and mentor internal layout resources on PCB design library and layout best practices

Minimum Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience creating and maintaining PCB part libraries (schematic symbols and footprints)
  • Adjacent experience in PCB layout and design, specifically in aerospace and defense industry
  • Expert proficiency using Altium Designer Pro/365/Enterprise for PCB design (library and layout)
  • Experienced use of PCB best practices for design, manufacturing, assembly and testing (including IPC-6012 Class 3 standards and IPC-7352)
  • Experience with implementing PCB(A) design constraint management, including trace length matching and spacing rules
  • Experience in designing High-Density Interconnect (HDI) boards with fine pitch BGA (FPGAs, processors, microcontrollers and ASICs), including thru-hole and microvias, blind-buried vias
  • Experience with High-Speed, High-Power and High-Density Interconnect board design and layout, including signal integrity constraints, impedance-controlled nets and stack-up
  • Experience routing multi-rail power delivery solutions, high-power thermal management and other mechanical constraints
  • Ability to work effectively in fast-paced and high-pressure environments, earn trust, maintain positive professional relationships, demonstrate attention to detail, strong task ownership and excellent communication skills
  • Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum

Preferred Qualifications

  • Advanced certification in PCB design, Associate of Applied Science (AAS) in PCB Design or Bachelor of Science (BS) in Electrical Engineering (or related field)
  • Certifications such as CID (Certified Interconnect Designer), CIS (Certified IPC Specialists) and CSE (Certified Standards Expert)
  • Familiarity with PCB DFM/DFA/DFT/DFC using tools such as Siemens Valor
  • Familiarity with High-Speed and High-Power board design practices using tools such as Siemens HyperLynx
  • Proficiency with Git Revision Control, AWS GovCloud tool environments, and scripting languages such as Python, Perl or DelphiScript to support tool integration and automation
  • Exposure to AI tools that support PCB library and design automation (Quilter, Darcy or similar tools)

Compensation
