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 II to join the AI&T team on the Terawave program. In this role you will develop and execute electrical verification procedures — continuity checks, data bus testing, power bus verification, and fault injection — with increasing autonomy alongside senior test engineers. You will capture anomalies, contribute to test reports, and help improve the electrical test program in a high-tempo spacecraft development environment.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a closely related field.
• 2+ years of experience in electrical test, hardware verification, or system integration in aerospace, defense, or high-reliability electronics.
• Ability to operate standard electrical test equipment and interpret data against defined pass/fail criteria.
• Experience developing or executing formal test procedures in a controlled documentation environment.
• Familiarity with anomaly reporting and configuration management processes.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to write clear, complete test reports.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with spacecraft, satellite, or launch vehicle electrical test at bench, component, or subsystem level.
• Familiarity with data bus protocols: SpaceWire, CAN, MIL-STD-1553, RS-422, or discrete I/O.
• Basic scripting experience (Python or similar) for test automation or data reduction.
• Familiarity with ESD controls and aerospace workmanship standards.
• Experience using PDM/PLM systems for procedure control (Windchill or equivalent).

Responsibilities

• Execute electrical interface checks, continuity/isolation tests, power bus verification, and data bus tests under guidance of senior engineers.
• Perform timing and latency measurements and fault injection tests per approved test procedures; record results against defined pass/fail criteria.
• Develop test procedures under senior engineer guidance; drive procedures through internal review and release.
• Capture test anomalies with sufficient detail for root cause investigation; track anomaly status and support disposition.
• Author test reports summarizing results, anomalies, and open items for assigned test activities.
• Incorporate procedure red-line mark-ups and update documentation following test execution.
• Support test campaign planning: coordinate bench availability, hardware readiness, and test equipment configuration.
• Maintain ESD discipline, bench cleanliness, and configuration accountability during test operations.
• Identify opportunities to improve test procedures or reduce cycle time; escalate recommendations to senior engineers.

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)
• Paid Time Off: Up to four (4) weeks per year based on weekly scheduled hours, and up to 14 company-paid holidays.
