## About the Role

* Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
 * 7+ years of experience in hardware design for aerospace, defense, or other high-reliability applications
 * Demonstrated experience with high-speed digital circuit design and analysis
 * Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to work independently and drive issues to closure
 * Effective communication skills for cross-functional collaboration across engineering disciplines
 * Hands-on experience with circuit-level analysis to validate design margin and requirements compliance, * Experience with high-speed serial and parallel interface standards including SerDes, Ethernet (1G/10G/25G/100G), UART, SPI, I3C, MDIO, and IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol (PTP)
 * Familiarity with network switching architectures and IP-layer networking concepts in embedded hardware contexts
 * Experience with circuit simulation tools (e.g., SPICE, HyperLynx, HFSS) and formal design verification methods
 * Knowledge of EMI/EMC design principles and system-level integration considerations
 * Experience with PCB layout - particularly techniques to improve signal integrity, power integrity, and thermal performance in high-density, high-speed designs
 * Experience designing for reliability in radiation-tolerant or space-heritage environments (e.g., part selection, derating, latch-up mitigation)
 * Experience with environmental qualification testing including vibration, thermal cycling, and shock testing

## Description

You will design, analyze, and validate complex circuit card assemblies for high-speed digital and networking payload systems operating in demanding environments. You will own hardware from concept through production, working across a cross-functional team that includes FPGA, software, test, and manufacturing engineers., * Collaborate with systems and subsystem stakeholders to translate program requirements into hardware designs that meet performance, reliability, and SWaP-C (Size, Weight, Power, and Cost) constraints

 * Perform rigorous circuit-level analysis including Worst Case Analysis (WCA), Component Derating Analysis, Design Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (DFMEA), and Signal and Power Integrity (SI/PI) analysis
 * Represent hardware across the full development lifecycle - interfacing with procurement, software, FPGA, harness, test, and manufacturing teams
 * Apply Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Test (DFT) best practices to support high-volume production; perform Process Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (PFMEA)
 * Lead and support bring-up, debug, and functional verification of complex circuit card assemblies
 * Operate independently, managing priorities, risks, and opportunities in a fast-paced development environment
 * Contribute to an agile program management cadence through sprint-based planning and execution, 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
