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.

Develop and maintain mission systems requirements, ground-system architectures, interfaces, and communications designs for spacecraft operations. Integrate and test flight software and ground systems, conduct validation and performance analysis, and support mission updates, training, and flight operations. Collaborate with vehicle, software, operations, and payload teams across the system lifecycle.

Design and validate FPGA-based DSP and RF systems for lunar communications and radar applications. Develop signal-processing algorithms, model systems in MATLAB/Simulink, implement synthesizable RTL, optimize hardware resources, and support FPGA prototyping, hardware bring-up, and RF testing. Collaborate with RF, antenna, hardware, DSP, and embedded software engineers through design, verification, qualification, and acceptance reviews.

Leads the architecture, design, verification, testing, procurement, integration, and on-orbit support of spacecraft RF and optical communication systems. Responsibilities include link budgets, coverage and phase-noise analyses, requirements verification, electromagnetic simulation, supplier management, interface coordination, configuration control, technical documentation, mentoring engineers, and mission operations support.

Designs and integrates spacecraft communications subsystems for Blue Origin’s lunar landers. Responsibilities include requirements decomposition, system architecture, RF analyses and simulations, interface definition, verification and validation planning, integration and testing, safety documentation, and coordination across engineering teams. The engineer will support communications protocols, link budgets, coverage analysis, space qualification, test facility readiness, and subsystem-level testing while mentoring early-career systems engineers.

Develops and maintains mechanical layouts, detail parts, assembly drawings, and engineering datasets for Blue Origin’s lunar spacecraft systems. Uses Creo Parametric and Windchill to support structural, mechanical, fluids, avionics, and harness designs. Applies drafting standards, GD&T, tolerance analysis, aerospace hardware selection, and manufacturing methodologies while collaborating cross-functionally on materials, processes, and production-ready designs.
