Blue Origin LLC Avionics Test Engineer II - Lunar Permanence in Seattle, Washington

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! This role is part of the Lunar Permanence business unit, which develops Blue Origin's multiple Blue Moon lander product lines. To further Blue Origin's mission of having millions of people living and working in space, we are building sustainable infrastructure for our transport of crew and cargo from Earth to the lunar surface. We are a diverse team of collaborators, doers, and problem-solvers who are relentlessly committed to a culture of safety. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your dedication and detailed attention toward 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 the Fuel Cell Controller Design Integration Engineer, you will integrate hardware, software, and local autonomy functionality of the integrated fuel cell power system. This role is based on the Lunar Fuel Cell design engineering team and will interface tightly with test engineering teams on multiple test beds. Responsibilities include but not limited to: Integration, verification, and validation of the Fuel Cell Controller avionics. Develop fuel cell controller avionics system verification tests in coordination with fuel cell test engineers. Perform validation tests of the fuel cell controller in a hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) environment in coordination with fuel cell test engineers. Define requirements and drive design decisions to meet mission objectives and satisfy requirements while balancing cost, schedule, and risk. Drive process improvements for verifying and delivering integrated fuel cell control systems. Plan integration of new hardware, software, and test stands to accommodate design iterations and/or new programs Design, build, maintain, and resolve issues with test support equipment. Integrate sensors, actuators, and algorithms to produce a spaceflight-readyhigh-power application. This includes I/O transducers for displacement, rate, and acceleration, pressure and temperature sensors, servo and solenoid actuators, etc. Integrate signal processing, control, or related algorithms to run efficiently on embedded platforms. Coordinate with the HIL team to ensure verification plans meet system safety requirements for high power systems. Participate in design for test/manufacture/cost (DFx) reviews and root-cause analysis of test discrepancies. Optimally communicate development status, risks, and challenges to management. Write cogent and succinct technical memos and devise innovative, intuitive, and fabulous ways to visualize quantitative information. Embody, promote, and mentor the Blue Origin leadership principles.
