Lead end-to-end electrical and avionics testing for TeraWave spacecraft systems, including test strategy, requirements, procedures, qualification, acceptance, integration, and flight support. Develop test infrastructure, automation, instrumentation, and scalable ground support equipment. Lead electrical test campaigns, anomaly investigations, root-cause analysis, corrective actions, cross-functional coordination, and production-readiness efforts for repeatable, high-throughput vehicle testing.

Leads the design, integration, construction, and commissioning of complex ground test systems for rocket engines and spacecraft. Responsibilities include fluid and structural system design, systems architecture, supplier coordination, design reviews, technical decision-making for propellant and vacuum systems, hazard assessments, HAZOP activities, risk mitigation, program alignment, and mentoring engineers. The role supports facilities in Van Horn, Texas, or Kent, Washington, with up to 25% travel from Kent.

Leads end-to-end development of space-rated avionics power components, including requirements, schematic and PCB design, power integrity, controller algorithms, testing, qualification, production support, and flight integration. Provides technical leadership, reviews designs, manages product configurations, supports quality and manufacturing, and mentors junior engineers. Requires expertise in high-reliability switching power supplies, radiation-tolerant hardware, digital electronics, FPGA integration, and Altium-based flight hardware design.

Leads electrical software test strategy, requirements, procedures, automation, instrumentation, and verification for TeraWave spacecraft avionics. Directs bench, vehicle-level, qualification, acceptance, EMI/EMC, and pre-launch test campaigns; investigates anomalies and drives corrective actions. Partners with manufacturing and production engineering to develop scalable ground support equipment, modular test infrastructure, and production-ready processes. Coordinates cross-functional technical teams and supports spacecraft integration and flight operations.

Leads day-of-launch planning and execution for Blue Ring spacecraft missions, including rehearsals, countdown sequencing, launch scripts, control-room coordination, anomaly response, launch commit criteria, and hardware recovery planning. The role integrates spacecraft, launch vehicle, launch-site, Space Force, and customer stakeholders while ensuring readiness and compliance with NSSL standards.

Develops spacecraft avionics and harness designs for Blue Origin’s lunar vehicles. Responsibilities include creating and releasing CAD models, assemblies, installation layouts, drawings, and MBDs; routing harnesses; managing large CAD assemblies and BOMs; reviewing designs for standards compliance; and collaborating cross-functionally on materials, manufacturing processes, and product development.

Support New Glenn flight safety regulatory compliance and approvals with the FAA and U.S. Space Force Range Safety. Conduct trajectory analysis, debris risk assessment, probability-of-failure modeling, and population risk evaluations. Develop technical reports, manage safety products, coordinate with government partners, and balance mission design parameters against safety criteria.

Leads software verification and test planning for lunar spacecraft systems. Develops requirements, verification plans, test cases, procedures, and scripts; guides verification best practices; manages hardware-software integration issues; collaborates across systems, software, vehicle, and mission teams; and ensures safety-critical software behavior supports safe human spaceflight.

Design and lay out high-reliability aerospace PCBs involving digital, analog, mixed-signal, high-speed, RF, and high-power circuits. Collaborate across engineering teams, create schematics and documentation, resolve layout issues, maintain eCAD libraries, support DFM/DFA/DFT reviews, ensure IPC and manufacturing compliance, and improve PCB development processes. Provide technical guidance, mentor junior resources, review other layout work, and contribute throughout product development and production.
