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!Blue Origin is pioneering the future of space-based communications with TeraWave, a revolutionary satellite communications network designed to deliver symmetrical data speeds of up to 6 Tbps anywhere on Earth. This multi-orbit constellation will consist of optically interconnected satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) and medium Earth orbit (MEO), providing enterprise-grade connectivity for critical operations worldwide.This role sits within the TeraWave Spacecraft Bus Electrical Power Subsystem team. We are seeking a Lead Power Electronics and PCB Design Engineer to lead a team of experienced circuit and PCB design engineers responsible for the Power Management and Distribution (PMAD) electronics. Your team's mandate is clear: optimize the PMAD for cost, mass, and producibility without compromising reliability or performance - and do it at constellation scale.This is a dual technical leadership and hands-on engineering role. You will set technical direction, manage complex design trades, and guide your team through schematic review, layout, verification, and qualification. You will also roll up your sleeves - owning board architecture decisions, driving DFM/DFT, and working directly with PCB fabricators and contract manufacturers to ensure the design is buildable at rate. TeraWave produces thousands of units, which means every decision you make has a direct multiplying effect on cost, yield, and schedule.**Responsibilities:*** Lead a team of PCB and circuit design engineers responsible for PMAD electronics design, optimization, and production readiness* Own board architecture decisions for the PMAD, including power distribution, connector strategy, signal routing, current path design, protection interfaces, serviceability, and manufacturability* Drive cost and mass reduction trades, architecture simplification, modularity, part count reduction, and recurring manufacturing cost improvements* Lead electronics requirements definition, architecture trades, detailed design development, design verification, and test across the PMAD* Design multi-layer PCBs for complex digital, mixed-signal, and high-voltage/high-power systems, with careful attention to EMC, creepage and clearance, signal integrity, power integrity, and thermal management* Conduct power integrity analysis and design power distribution networks (PDN) for low-noise, high-current applications* Work closely with mechanical packaging and harness teams to ensure the PMAD design is scalable, integrable, and manufacturable* Work with PCB fabricators and contract manufacturers to resolve fabrication and assembly issues and ensure DFM compliance* Collaborate with supply chain to ensure component and material availability for production rate* Support board bring-up, hardware debugging, and anomaly resolution during development, qualification, and integration* Follow designs through formal verification, environmental qualification, and production release; support integration and flight acceptance activities* Generate and maintain complete fabrication and assembly documentation including Gerber files, drill files, assembly drawings, and BOMs within the configuration management system**Minimum Qualifications:*** Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace, or Materials Science Engineering, Physics, or a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field, plus 8 or more years of electronics hardware development experience, including demonstrated team leadership experience spanning technical guidance, performance development, and cross-functional coordination* Proficiency with PCB design tools - Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, or equivalent - including hands-on layout experience for mixed-signal and high-power designs* Demonstrated experience in power electronics hardware development, including high-voltage switching, power regulation, and PCB layout with explicit consideration for creepage, clearance, and thermal management* Hands-on circuit design experience across analog, digital, or mixed-signal domains, including analysis, simulation, component selection, and troubleshooting of common parts such as power supplies, ADCs, DACs, op amps, processors, and MOSFETs* Working knowledge of DFM, DFT principles, and IPC standards (IPC-2221, IPC-6012, IPC-A-610 or equivalent), with experience applying them in a production electronics context* Must be a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum - required for access to export-controlled technical dataPreferred Qualifications:* Experience designing electronics for space or aerospace environments, including vacuum, thermal cycling, radiation tolerance, and vibration* Experience with power integrity analysis tools such as HyperLynx, Ansys SIwave, or Cadence Sigrity* Experience performing worst-case circuit analysis, FMEA/FMECA, and reliability analysis for high-reliability applications* Knowledge of signal integrity, grounding, and EMI/EMC best practices for high-power and mixed-signal PCB designs* Knowledge of common communication protocols including RS-422, I2C, SPI, LVDS, Ethernet, or CAN* Knowledge of conformal coating, potting, and other space-qualification surface treatment techniques* Familiarity with MIL-STD or NASA standards for electronics design and PCB fabrication* Background in fault detection, redundancy strategies, and system-level reliability design* Experience with **Windchill PLM** or an equivalent configuration management system* Strong written and verbal technical communication skills, with a demonstrated ability to author specifications, analysis reports, and design documentation independently###Base Pay Range for:WA applicants is $156,802.00 - $219,522.45**Other site ranges may differ****Culture Statement****Export Control Regulations**Applicants for employment at Blue Origin must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e. current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.**Background Check*** Required for all positions: Blue's Standard Background Check* Required for Certain Job Profiles: Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) background check if at any time the role requires one to be on a military installation* Required for Certain Job Profiles: Drivers who operate Commercial Motor Vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW), Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or combination of power unit and trailer that meets or exceeds 10,001 lbs. and/or transports placardable amounts of hazardous materials by ground in any vehicle on a public road while in commerce, may be subject to additional Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations including: Driver Qualification Files, Medical Certification (obtained before onboarding), Road Test, Hours of Service, Drug and Alcohol Testing, vehicle inspection requirements, CDL requirements (if applicable) and hazardous materials transportation/shipping training.* Required for certain Job Profiles: Ability to obtain and maintain Merchant Mariner Credential, which includes pre-employment and random drug testing as well as DOT physical**Benefits*** #J-18808-Ljbffr
