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! Blue Origin was founded with a vision of millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. Blue Origin envisions a time when people can tap into the limitless resources of space and enable the movement of damaging industries into space to preserve Earth, humanity's blue origin. Blue Origin is working today to create that future by developing reusable launch vehicles and in-space systems that are safe, low-cost, and serve the needs of all civil, commercial, and defense customers. Blue Origin's efforts include flying astronauts to space on New Shepard, producing reusable liquid rocket engines, developing an orbital launch vehicle with New Glenn, building next-generation space habitats, and returning to the surface of the Moon. These endeavors will add new chapters to the history of spaceflight and move all of humanity closer to that founding vision. For more information about Blue Origin, please visit Blue Origin is self-funding the rapid development of multiple in-space flight systems - over various sizes, propellant types, and technical challenges. Our versatile spacecraft will serve various customers and missions, starting in just three years. A hardware-rich prototyping approach allows rapid design/build iteration. On these outstanding programs, you will quickly experience the full lifecycle from formulation to flight while achieving historic breakthroughs. As part of a diverse and hardworking team, you will contribute to the design of the Electrical Power System (EPS) for future space vehicles. EPS scope includes power generation, storage, regulation, control, and distribution to vehicle subsystems and payloads. These positions will directly impact our history of space exploration, and your dedication and attention to detail will foster the cause of safe and repeatable spaceflight. You will build and maintain drawings and diagrams for power distribution, system grounding, and bonding. In addition, the ideal candidate will perform optimally within a team, collaborating with hardware and software engineers to integrate firmware with other system components. This person must communicate technical information clearly and concisely, both verbally and in writing. We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership, and dedication to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required! Responsibilities: Conduct trade studies and supply knowledge to help down-select spacecraft electrical power system architectures appropriate for mission requirements. Methodically estimate power consumption and current requirements (average, transient, in-rush, etc.) from all vehicle subsystems and electrical components Account for and rationalize contingency/margin of EPS components from concept to production Generate EPS and power-consuming component models based on first principles, empirical information, and test data. Maintain EPS budgets and power equipment lists that track power generation, consumption, and storage during all mission-related portions. Analyze and determine compliant grounding/bonding strategies and architectures Craft and analyze electrical systems for EMI/EMC compliance Build models and simulations of the EPS to evaluate use cases and conditions. Perform analyses such as voltage drop/line loss, component derating/stress analysis, thermal effects, and worst-case analysis. Trade combinations of various power generation and storage solutions such as solar arrays, fuel cells, and battery modules (especially Li-Ion chemistries). Trade
