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! This role supports the development and operations of New Glenn, a single-configuration, heavy-lift orbital launch vehicle capable of routinely carrying people and payloads to low-Earth orbit, geostationary transfer orbit, cislunar, and beyond. Its first stage is fully reusable, and the vehicle was designed from the beginning to be human-capable. As part of a small, passionate, and accomplished team of experts, you will own end to end product development as a responsible engineer of LRUs. These LRUs are a critical component of New Glenn, and control some of the most significant functions on the rocket like hydraulics, thrust vector control (TVC), fins, ordnance, sensors, valves, and more. In this role you'll interface with design, test, systems, integration, software and control engineering disciplines throughout the entire product lifecycle from conception to flight ready hardware. We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight.

• Support stakeholders with requirement definition and verification activities.
• Apply technical expertise to problem solving throughout product lifecycle, including concept, definition, design, verification (power-on, functional / acceptance / qualification testing) and release to production.
• Support avionics embedded controller architecture trades studies, analyses, performance characterization and specification, device selection, and controller roadmap direction.
• Collaborate with avionics subsystems to identify current technology capabilities, risks, opportunities, challenges and develop solutions.

Qualifications:

• Minimum of a B.S. in electrical, computer engineering or related field with 3+ years of developing and testing complex hardware equipment over the entire product lifecycle.
