Electrical Systems Engineer III – Lunar Transportation

BLUE ORIGIN•West Melbourne, WA

1d•$121,023 - $169,432

About The Position

This role is part of the Lunar Permanence business unit, which develops Blue Origin’s Blue Moon landers and related products. To further Blue Origin's mission of millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth, we are building sustainable infrastructure for our transport of crew and cargo from Earth to the lunar surface. We are a team of collaborators, doers, and problem-solvers who are committed to a culture of safety. This position directly impacts the history of space exploration and requires a commitment and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable space flight. Join us in lowering the cost of access to space and enabling Blue Origin's vision of millions of people living and working in space to benefit Earth. As a step towards this vision, Blue Origin is building the next generation of lunar landers. As part of a hardworking team of specialists, technicians, and engineers, you will work as an Electrical Integration Engineer within the System Integration and Analysis Team on the lunar lander, focusing on the design, integration, and verification of electrical and avionics subsystems across the spacecraft and its payloads. You will define electrical interfaces, develop command and data handling architectures, and ensure the electrical system meets mission and safety-critical requirements. You should expect that this foundational part of our vision will require your excellent communication and teamwork.
