Preferred Qualifications: * M.S. or Ph.D. with 8+ years in engineering or equivalent technical field. * Experience on programs spanning both ends of the production volume spectrum - exquisite/low-rate and proliferated/high-rate - in space or an adjacent high-reliability industry (aircraft, missiles, automotive/EV, semiconductor capital equipment). * Experience tailoring SMC-S-016, MIL-STD-1540, or equivalent qualification standards for a proliferated architecture, and defending that tailoring to a government customer. * Experience with HALT/HASS screening, reliability growth, or environmental stress screening program design. * Demonstrated experience designing, standing up, or materially scaling a production line for complex aerospace or comparable hardware, including taking a program from prototype/first-article build through sustained-rate production. ## Description We are seeking a Senior Assembly, Integration & Test (AI&T) Engineer to shape the integration, test, and verification approach for satellite payloads and integrated in-space constellation solutions from the earliest stages of mission concept development. In this role, you will translate mission architectures and customer requirements into credible, cost-effective AI&T approaches - spanning test flow concepts, verification planning, acceptance campaign design, and proposal content - drawing on your own hands-on AI&T background to ground those concepts in demonstrated, real-world capability. The ideal candidate brings deep AI&T expertise on space-qualified buses, components, sensor systems, and/or specialized payloads, combined with the ability to assess integration and test risk early in a program's lifecycle and translate that insight into winning technical proposals., * Define integration and test architectures for constellation concepts, including test flow, facility and GSE concepts, acceptance campaign structure, and throughput modeling at quantities from tens to hundreds of vehicles. * Drive design-for-test and design-for-integration into early architecture trades across payload and bus subsystems (power, comm, avionics, GN&C, propulsion, thermal, structures). * Develop AI&T concepts for rate production, including test automation, streamlined acceptance campaigns, reduced-touch environmental strategies, and first-pass-yield and rework assumptions. * Define launch-cadence-driven constraints on the architecture: dispenser and stack integration, encapsulation flow, launch site processing throughput, and deployment concepts. * Author technical content for proposals, white papers, and customer engagements, including AI&T approach, test flow narratives, staffing and facility basis of estimate, and associated risk. * Serve as the AI&T technical authority in architecture reviews, concept gates, and independent reviews; capture integration and test risks and mitigation plans. * Partner with program AI&T organizations to ground concepts in real, demonstrated capability and to hand off mature architectures at award., 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
