Electrical Ground Support Equipment Technical program manager – New Glenn, SEIT Integrated Vehicle Test Engineer

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!    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. Who We Are We are a dynamic team of collaborators, doers, and problem-solvers relentlessly committed to a culture of safety. At Blue Origin, our work directly shapes the history of space exploration. We are driven by a singular vision: millions of people living and working in space to benefit Earth. Join us in lowering the cost of access to space and making that vision a reality. The Role As part of a small, passionate, and highly accomplished team, you will serve as the technical bridge between electrical GSE designers, avionics engineers, and software integration, suppliers and test teams, ensuring that Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE) for New Glenn — Blue Origin's orbital launch vehicle — is developed with a clear, unified understanding of both design intent and test requirements. You will be the technical integrated product lead across electrical equipment/harness designers, avionics, and software engineering disciplines — gathering inputs from designers and test engineers across all teams, consolidating requirements, resolving conflicts, tracking technical development within cost and schedule, integration, verification, and test efforts on track. Your ability to speak the language of the GSE Test designs, the software environment, and test readiness will be what makes you invaluable to this team. We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight and the testing of space vehicles.  Bias for action and passion for our mission and vision are required.  You will be managing several test EGSE development projects for the Integrated Vehicle Test team. What You'll Do Collect, combine, and reconcile requirements from electrical design, avionics, and software disciplines, identifying conflicts early and working with all teams to drive resolution Gather and consolidate feedback from avionics test engineers and software integration teams regarding EGSE performance, test readiness gaps, interface needs, and lessons learned — translating that input into actionable direction for EGSE design teams Work directly with electrical equipment/harness and avionics designers to ensure EGSE designs reflect real test environment needs, software interface requirements, operational constraints, and safety requirements surfaced by the test and integration teams Track and communicate technical status across EGSE development efforts, maintaining clear visibility into where designs stand, what software integration milestones are outstanding, and what decisions are needed to maintain test readiness Support verification and test execution for EGSE systems, including electrical interface verification, software-in-the-loop testing, and hardware-in-the-loop validation activities Engage directly with hardware and documentation — navigate electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, interface control documents, and software interface specifications to keep all teams aligned Champion a culture of safety, transparency, and collaborative problem-solving across every interaction What You Bring Required: B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a closely related technical field 3+ years of hands-on experience working with electrical systems, avionics, and/or software integration in a development or test environment — enough to credibly engage with designers, avionics engineers, and software teams Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, interface control documents (ICDs), and software interface specifications Familiarity with avionics architectures, including command and data handling, vehicle health monitoring, communication buses such as MIL-STD-1553, SpaceWire, or Ethernet, and power distribution systems Working knowledge of software integration and verification processes, including software-in-the-loop (SIL), hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), and acceptance testing methodologies Proficiency with planning and status tracking tools such as MS Project, P6 Primavera, JIRA or equivalent Excellent written, verbal, and facilitation skills — able to run productive technical conversations and communicate status clearly to all levels Highly organized with strong attention to detail and a commitment to keeping information accurate and current Self-starter mentality with a strong bias for action in a fast-paced, dynamic environment Must be a U.S. citizen, national, permanent resident (Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted refugee/asylee Desired: M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Systems Engineering Hands-on experience with Electrical Ground Support Equipment (EGSE) for launch vehicles or spacecraft, including ground checkout equipment, umbilical systems, power conditioning and distribution systems, or launch control systems Experience with avionics integration and test for orbital launch vehicles or human-rated spacecraft, including end-to-end electrical interface verification Background in launch vehicle development, production, and/or operations environments Experience supporting Integrat
