## Description

Join a hard-working team of engineers to develop advanced Avionics systems, directly impacting the future of human spaceflight. Contribute to the thoughtful design and integration phase the team is supporting for analysis and avionics/control hardware design, pioneering spacecraft systems. Blue Origin values collaboration, trust, and a culture of safety, and a bias for action recognizing each team member's input., * Develop, lead, and own digital, analog, and mixed-signal circuit avionic designs that interact with avionics systems.

 * Own these avionics boards across the entire product life cycle, from concept and requirements definition, design, analysis, prototyping, schematic capture, layout, design review, test/verification (power-on, functional / acceptance / qualification testing) and through release to production.
 * Support avionics architecture trade studies, analyses, performance characterization and specification, device selection, and controller roadmap direction.
 * Support controller risk analyses, failure modes effects and criticality analyses (FMECA), worst case circuit analyses (WCCA), design for test/manufacture/cost (DFx), and root-cause analysis of test discrepancies.
 * Participate in program level technology development, mission assurance and safety initiatives, and avionics development process improvements.
 * Effectively communicate development status, risks, and challenges to management., Applicants for employment at Blue Origin must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e. current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S.as a refugee or granted asylum.

Background Check

 * Required for all positions: Blue's Standard Background Check
 * Required for Certain Job Profiles: Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) background check if at any time the role requires one to be on a military installation
 * Required for Certain Job Profiles: Drivers who operate Commercial Motor Vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW), Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or combination of power unit and trailer that meets or exceeds 10,001 lbs. and/or transports placardable amounts of hazardous materials by ground in any vehicle on a public road while in commerce, may be subject to additional Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations including: Driver Qualification Files, Medical Certification (obtained before onboarding), Road Test, Hours of Service, Drug and Alcohol Testing, vehicle inspection requirements, CDL requirements (if applicable) and hazardous materials transportation/shipping training.
 * Required for certain Job Profiles: Ability to obtain and maintain Merchant Mariner Credential, which includes pre-employment and random drug testing as well as DOT physical
