Senior Electrical Integration Engineer - TeraWave

BLUE ORIGIN • Los Angeles, WA

1d • $80,499 - $122,942

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 experienced Sr. Electrical Integration Engineer to join the AI&T team on the Terawave program. In this role you will own the design, build, and maintenance of the electrical infrastructure for the Vehicle Test Bench (VTB) and Flatsat — including rack wiring, cable harnesses, and integration of flight hardware, simulators, and EGSE. You will also drive design-for-manufacturability (DFM) and design-for-test (DFT) feedback to ensure the bench architecture scales to high-rate production.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience, Electronics Technology, or a closely related field.
• 7+ years of experience in electrical integration, avionics test, harness design/installation, or bench/GSE build in an aerospace, defense, or high-reliability electronics environment.
• Proficiency in reading and interpreting electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, connector pinouts, and interface control documents (ICDs).
• Hands-on experience with harness fabrication, connector assembly, and rack wiring in a production or laboratory environment.
• Experience verifying power distribution, grounding, shielding, and signal integrity on complex electrical assemblies.
• Familiarity with ESD controls and workmanship standards (IPC/WHMA-A-620 or equivalent).
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to coordinate across mechanical, electrical, and test disciplines.

Nice To Haves

• Experience building or integrating spacecraft or launch vehicle ground support equipment, Flatsats, or test benches.
• Background with high-density connector systems (D-Sub, MIL-DTL-38999, or equivalent) in a space or defense application.
• Experience providing DFM/DFT feedback in a formal design review process.
• Familiarity with CAD/EDA tools for schematic capture or harness design (Zuken E3, CATIA Harness, or equivalent).
• Background in high-rate production environments where bench configurations served as templates for the production line.
• Familiarity with relevant standards: MIL-STD-461, ECSS, or NASA-STD-8739 series for workmanship and harness fabrication.

Responsibilities

• Design and install rack wiring, cable harnesses, and signal routing for the VTB and Flatsat; maintain as-built wiring documentation.
• Integrate flight hardware, simulators, EGSE, and breakout boxes into the bench; verify physical and electrical interfaces against ICDs.
• Verify power distribution, grounding, and shielding per applicable standards; support power budget validation.
• Provide DFM and DFT feedback to design engineering on connector accessibility, test point placement, harness routability, and mate/demate cycle life.
• Support electrical interface verification activities with the Electrical Test team.
• Maintain ESD compliance, FOD prevention discipline, and torque verification records across all bench electrical work.
• Coordinate with EGSE Electrical Engineers on signal integrity, grounding, and EGSE-to-bench interface requirements.
• Support anomaly investigation for bench electrical faults; perform root cause analysis on wiring and interface discrepancies.
• Participate in design reviews and provide inputs on electrical testability and manufacturing feasibility.

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.
