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 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.
Avionics Mechanical Design & Analysis Engineer III
Core Systems & Components | Blue National Security Build the Hardware That Protects Space Missions Space is unforgiving - extreme temperatures, violent vibration and shock, radiation, and vacuum. The electronics that fly on Blue Origin spacecraft have to survive all of it, and that's where you come in. We're looking for an experienced avionics packaging engineer to own ruggedized enclosures and mechanical systems from concept through flight release - not just contribute to pieces of the job but drive it. The Mission Blue Origin is building the infrastructure for humanity's future in space. Every avionics box you design protects the systems that keep vehicles safe and missions on track. You'll work at the intersection of mechanical design, electrical integration, and space-environment survival - alongside a curious, collaborative team that takes pride in getting the hard problems right. Your Impact As an Avionics Mechanical Design and Analysis Engineer III, you'll lead development of the protective mechanical systems for spacecraft avionics - shielding sensitive electronics from thermal extremes, vibration, shock, radiation, EMI, and vacuum. Your technical calls will shape system reliability, vehicle integration, manufacturability, and mission success. What You'll Do
- Own complex avionics packaging assemblies (enclosures, chassis, mounting systems) across the full lifecycle - requirements, design, analysis, verification, qualification, release, and production support
- Partner with electrical, systems, thermal, structures, manufacturing, quality, and test engineers to architect integrated packaging solutions for PCBAs, connectors, and harnessing
- Drive thermal, structural, vibration, shock, and fatigue analyses - and lead trade studies balancing mass, thermal/structural performance, EMI/EMC protection, manufacturability, cost, schedule, and risk
- Deliver high-quality models, drawings, specs, ICDs, and configuration-controlled release packages, applying GD&T per ASME Y14.5 to enable smooth manufacturing, assembly, and inspection
- Shape environmental test campaigns end-to-end - planning, hardware prep, data review, anomaly investigation, root-cause analysis, and verification closeout
- Mentor less-experienced engineers, lead design reviews, and engage suppliers through design changes and configuration management
