Work in Washington Veterans Jobs

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 a part of New Shepard, 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 hardworking team of diverse specialists, technicians, and engineers (use as appropriate), you will be responsible for the successful completion of projects in the Avionics and Electrical Ground Support Equipment (AvEGSE) and Instrumentation & Controls Equipment (ICE) sub-systems. The types of equipment include but are not limited to RF ground stations, battery conditioners, data acquisition systems, ground personnel communication systems, launch vehicle test equipment, and ground control systems. You will keep team members focused by supporting, communicating, and coordinating activities between multiple cross-functional teams and individuals. Your in-depth technical knowledge of electrical systems, data acquisition, and RF communication systems will ensure appropriate planning and support to enable on-time, high quality completion of engineering projects and readiness for program increment milestones. You will develop and maintain Statements of Work (SOW) while coordinating and communicating with 3rd party suppliers to ensure projects are completed on budget and schedule. You will create Basis of Estimates (BoE) to accurately estimate resources, schedules, hours, and costs. For each project, you will identify and manage project risks, mitigations, and opportunities to communicate to program leadership. You will maintain the integrated master schedule and associated JIRA/ITS ticket content while working with peers to ensure accuracy and validity of the development scope and schedule. Your electrical technical depth and engineering experience will aid the team in requirement development, CONOP development, technical reports & plans, and facilitating technical design reviews for the projects. You will present at Mission Scope Reviews (MSR) to communicate the scope, schedule, and resource plan to program leadership to make informed mission manifest decisions. You will work together with the Cognizant Engineers (subject matter experts) to ensure technical quality and robust engineering is being driven into each project. Special Mentions Relocation provided Travel expected up to 10% of the time Responsibilities include but are not limited to: Ability to facilitate high level, highly technical, strategic development decisions for the system to meet future programmatic goals.
