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!  

Blue Origin is seeking an Electrical Test Engineer II to join the AI&T team on the Terawave program. In this role you will develop and execute electrical verification procedures — continuity checks, data bus testing, power bus verification, and fault injection — with increasing autonomy alongside senior test engineers. You will capture anomalies, contribute to test reports, and help improve the electrical test program in a high-tempo spacecraft development environment.

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Execute electrical interface checks, continuity/isolation tests, power bus verification, and data bus tests under guidance of senior engineers.

• Perform timing and latency measurements and fault injection tests per approved test procedures; record results against defined pass/fail criteria.

• Develop test procedures under senior engineer guidance; drive procedures through internal review and release.

• Capture test anomalies with sufficient detail for root cause investigation; track anomaly status and support disposition.

• Author test reports summarizing results, anomalies, and open items for assigned test activities.

• Incorporate procedure red-line mark-ups and update documentation following test execution.

• Support test campaign planning: coordinate bench availability, hardware readiness, and test equipment configuration.

• Maintain ESD discipline, bench cleanliness, and configuration accountability during test operations.

• Identify opportunities to improve test procedures or reduce cycle time; escalate recommendations to senior engineers.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a closely related field.

• 2+ years of experience in electrical test, hardware verification, or system integration in aerospace, defense, or high-reliability electronics.

• Ability to operate standard electrical test equipment and interpret data against defined pass/fail criteria.

• Experience developing or executing formal test procedures in a controlled documentation environment.

• Familiarity with anomaly reporting and configuration management processes.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to write clear, complete test reports.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with spacecraft, satellite, or launch vehicle electrical test at bench, component, or subsystem level.

• Familiarity with data bus protocols: SpaceWire, CAN, MIL-STD-1553, RS-422, or discrete I/O.

• Basic scripting experience (Python or similar) for test automation or data reduction.

• Familiarity with ESD controls and aerospace workmanship standards.

• Experience using PDM/PLM systems for procedure control (Windchill or equivalent).
