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 New Shepard program. New Shepard is a reusable suborbital rocket system designed to take astronauts and research payloads past the Karman line - the internationally recognized boundary of space. Through operational reusability, New Shepard supports our mission of lowering the cost of access to space. As part of a passionate and accomplished team, you will lead an integrated team comprised of members from the program management, engineering, integrated supply chain, and production organizations. As the Crew Capsule - Routing, Sensors, Networking Engineering Lead, you will assume ultimate ownership and accountability for the success of the RF and Avionics routing throughout the product lifecycle. You will lead design and ensure the successful production and test of the Crew Capsule RF systems and avionics harnessing for the next generation New Shepard launch vehicles. This includes direct line management and coaching of a team of dedicated engineers, tech designers, and analysts. This also includes indirect leadership of supply chain and manufacturing engineers. This role requires leadership, creative problem solving, and ingenious design and materials engineering work. As Crew Capsule - Routing, Sensors, Networking Engineering Lead, you must have an excellent understanding of RF systems (S-band and UHF). You must also have exceptional leadership and project management skills. We are seeking a self-motivated and highly organized individual who can work with minimal direction and coordinate teams in the successful execution of engineering integration activities. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your dedicated commitment and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable spaceflight. Responsibilities included but not limited to: Lead the RF and Avionics routing integrated team in successfully executing a design iteration for the next generation New Shepard Launch vehicles Lead team meetings to set priorities and direction for the team, and well as to stay accountable for the team's work and decisions Coordinate configuration changes with upstream and downstream stakeholders Assess programmatic impact of configuration change requests Create and manage line of balance for hardware and key equipment to support upcoming builds Partner with manufacturing engineering and contribute to development of detailed procedures Respond to unexpected changes to ensure integration activities stay on schedule, on budget, and are completed with high-quality and documented build pedigree Coordinate with procurement, internal and external manufacturing to ensure that hardware priorities are well understood and are actively managed to support the need dates Work closely with key suppliers in coming up with creative solutions to manufacture complex designs including composites Identify schedule-critical hardware, equipment, people, and facilities; resolve constraints Develop recovery strategies when non-conformances or other escapes are identified Develop and execute verification plans for the subsystem Identify risks and develop mitigation plans Develop schedule and budget; manage and report progress Develop and report key project metrics Minimum Qualifications: Passion for Blue Origin's mission: Millions of people living and working in space!
