About The Position

At Blue Origin, we envision millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. We’re working to develop reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion. Join our team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight! This role is part of the Blue Origin Engines business unit, where our focus is the design, development, manufacturing, and testing of engines and propulsion systems. Built for multiple uses, our family of engines is powering the next generation of rockets for commercial, civil, national security, and human spaceflight. Job Profile Summary As part of a small, high-impact team responsible for integration, installation, refurbishment, maintenance, and operations, the Electrical Engineer III delivers end-end electrical engineering solutions across a broad scope. Working under general direction, this engineer independently determines and develops approaches to moderately complex problems, partners across a diverse set of technical and operational stakeholders and contributes engineering judgment to the supporting disciplines that surround a successful integration effort.

• Experience designing for hazardous (classified) areas (e.g., Class I, Division 2)
• Experience with failure investigations
• Hands on experience supporting systems engineering, configuration management, or quality processes
• Experience authoring work instructions and developing processes
• Working knowledge of basic networking systems
• Familiarity with relevant codes and standards (e.g., NEC, NFPA 70E / arc flash) and PLC/controls platforms

Responsibilities

• Develop, analyze, and implement electrical engineering solutions spanning power distribution, motor/generator systems, instrumentation, and controls, along with the integration challenges that bridge these domains
• Serve as a technical contributor on a small team with wide-ranging scope, independently determining technical approaches and adapting to shifting priorities and problem types
• Interface with multiple stakeholder groups—including operations, manufacturing, test, and external partners—to gather requirements, communicate technical direction, and align on solutions
• Provide engineering input across supporting disciplines, including safety and failure-effects analysis, systems engineering, configuration management, quality, work-instruction authoring, work scheduling, technical design/drafting, and process development
• Perform troubleshooting and root-cause analysis on electrical and electromechanical systems, and recommend corrective actions
• Support preventative and corrective maintenance of electrical systems, including identifying and supporting procurement of critical spare parts
• Configure and support basic networking infrastructures
• Apply and support Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), de-energization, and other safe-work practices in design and execution
• Design and evaluate electrical systems for installation in hazardous (classified) locations
• Leverage AI-enabled engineering tools to improve analysis, documentation, and design efficiency
• Document designs, analyses, and decisions to support traceability and configuration control

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision, basic and supplemental life insurance, paid parental leave, short and long-term disability, 401(k) with a company match of up to 5%, and an Education Support Program.
• Stock Options for all regular employees (working at least 20 hours/week)
