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! Blue Origin is pioneering the future of space-based communications with TeraWave, a revolutionary satellite communications network designed to deliver symmetrical data speeds of up to 6 Tbps anywhere on Earth. This multi-orbit constellation will consist of optically interconnected satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) and medium Earth orbit (MEO), providing enterprise-grade connectivity for critical operations worldwide. Blue Origin is seeking an Electrical Test Engineer I to join the AI&T team on the Terawave program. In this entry-level role you will support the execution of electrical verification activities — continuity checks, interface tests, and data bus verification — under the guidance of senior test engineers. You will build hands-on spacecraft electrical test experience while contributing to the team enabling high-rate satellite production.
