Blue Origin LLC HIL Test Engineer III in Seattle, Washington

Application close date: Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed. 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 diverse team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight! The role is part of the In-Space Systems business unit, which is focused on addressing two of the most compelling challenges in spaceflight today: space infrastructure and increasing mobility on-orbit. As part of a hardworking team of diverse engineers, you will play a crucial role in advancing the Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL/Flatsat) testbed. While collaborating with the development team, you will help build a vehicle-level emulator of the Blue Ring Spacecraft. Your role will involve gathering requirements from collaborators and building the testbed to support a diverse range of development and operations activities. This person will decompose test goals and objectives to deliver spacecraft avionics testbeds that meet system test plans and requirements. They will be directly responsible for crafting and managing lab architecture, including rack designs, lab layout, and facility integration. In addition, you will choose, acquire, and, if needed, craft or adapt signal emulation and data acquisition hardware. Furthermore, you will develop integration solutions for spacecraft components and electronics, such as component mounting, grounding, and harness design. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your dedicated commitment and attention towards safe and reliable spaceflight. We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required! Responsibilities include but are not limited to: Developing and coordinating lab architecture, encompassing rack configurations, lab layout, and facility integration. Developing and maintaining software for testbed simulation environments. Authoring and implementing testbed qualification plans and procedures. Leading all aspects of and handling the testbed codebase using version control systems. Minimum Qualifications: B.S. degree in electrical engineering, aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, or a related technical field. Over 5 years of industry background in avionics systems testing, including planning, execution, and reporting of electronics testing. Competence in creating electrical schematics and wiring diagrams. Skilled in using standard electronic lab test equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes, DMMs, power meters, data acquisition cards). Ability to independently develop test solutions with minimal mentorship. Strong programming skills in C / C++ and Python. Understanding of real-time operating systems and embedded control systems (including APIs, interfaces, and device drivers). Familiarity with communication protocols such as UDP/TCP, I2C, UART, SpaceWire, etc. Proven track record of building trust, encouraging positive and professional relationships, and contribute to an inclusive culture.
