Join our team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight! This role is part of the In-Space Systems business unit, focused on addressing two of the most compelling challenges in spaceflight today: space infrastructure and increasing mobility on-orbit. As an electrical power engineer supporting the TeraWave propulsion team, you will play a key foundational role in the development of the Hall thruster-based propulsion systems that maneuver the TeraWave constellation satellites, as well as support the propulsion team itself. TeraWave is a satellite communications network designed to deliver symmetrical data speeds of up to 6 Tbps anywhere on Earth. This network will service tens of thousands of enterprise, data center, and government users who require reliable connectivity for critical operations. Overview: Blue Origin is seeking a highly skilled Power Electronics Engineer to join our team in developing advanced power electronic converters for aerospace and space applications. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record designing DC-DC converters, both with and without galvanic isolation, control algorithms, and will be responsible for all phases of product development, from requirements capture through production. Key Responsibilities:* Capture and translate engineering requirements and customer specifications for power electronic systems for space applications.* Perform conceptual design, including selection of power-stage topology and control schemes suitable for challenging aerospace environments.* Execute detailed design, selecting reliable and space-qualified components to meet demanding performance and environmental criteria.* Develop and implement controller algorithms to optimize converter performance and efficiency.* Conduct feasibility studies and verify designs through detailed circuit simulation and analysis.* Produce accurate and clear schematic drawings for power electronic circuits.* Design PCB layouts and perform routing to meet space application standards, including reliability and manufacturability.* Lead board bring-up, troubleshooting, and functional testing of prototypes and production units.* Perform iterative design improvements based on test data and feedback, ensuring readiness for production.* Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including firmware, mechanical, and systems engineering, to ensure cohesive product development.* Support documentation, design reviews, and production transition activities.Basic Qualifications:* Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or related field; Master’s preferred.* Minimum 3 years of experience designing power electronics for aerospace or space applications (DC-DC converters essential).* Proficiency in requirements/specifics capture and translation for high-reliability systems.* Experienced in selecting power-stage topologies and control schemes, including both isolated and non-isolated DC-DC converters.* Hands-on experience with components selection for demanding environments.* Strong skills in controller algorithm design and implementation.* Proficient in circuit simulation tools (e.g., LTspice, PSpice, SIMetrix) for feasibility and verification. Including transient analysis, in-rush analysis, stress analysis and stability analysis.* Experience in schematic capture (e.g., Altium Designer, OrCAD) and PCB layout/routing for high-reliability electronics.* Experience with Si, GaN and SiC devices.* Demonstrated ability to bring-up boards, troubleshoot, and validate performance through testing.* Experience iterating designs for manufacturability and reliability in a production environment.Preferred Qualifications:* Familiarity with space qualification standards (e.g., MIL-STD, NASA standards).* Experience with High Voltage aerospace design.* Experience with EMI/EMC mitigation and analysis.* Knowledge of embedded firmware for power converters.### Base Pay Range for:CO applicants is $98,208.00 - $137,491.20WA applicants is $107,136.00 - $149,990.40**Other site ranges may differ****Culture Statement**Don’t meet all desired requirements?
