AMVETS Jobs

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 diverse team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight! We are a team with wide-ranging skillsets that value safety, problem-solving and diversity. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your commitment and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable space flight. Join us in lowering the cost of access to space and enabling Blue Origin's vision of millions of people living and working in space to benefit Earth. As part of a diverse and hardworking team, you will contribute to the design of the Electrical Power System (EPS) for future space vehicles. EPS scope includes power generation, storage, regulation, control, and distribution to vehicle subsystems and payloads. This position will directly impact the history of space exploration, and your dedicated commitment and detailed attention will further the cause of safe and repeatable spaceflight. You will create and maintain drawing and diagrams for power generation, distribution, system grounding and bonding. We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Responsibilities: Conduct trades studies and supply knowledge to help down-select spacecraft electrical power system architectures appropriate for mission requirements. Methodically estimate power consumption and current requirements (average, transient, in-rush etc.) from all vehicle subsystems and electrical components Account for and justify contingency/margin of EPS components from concept to production Generate EPS and power consuming component models based on a combination of first principals, empirical information, and test data. Maintain EPS budgets and power equipment lists that track power generation, consumption and storage during all relevant portions of a mission. Analyze and determine compliant grounding/bonding strategies and architectures Design and analyze electrical systems for EMI/EMC compliance Create and maintain system diagrams for power generation, distribution, system grounding, and bonding. Create models and simulation of the EPS to evaluate use cases and conditions. Perform analyses such as voltage drop/line loss, component derating/stress analysis, thermal effects and worst-case analysis. Trade combinations of various power generation and storage solutions such as solar arrays, fuel cells, and battery modules (especially Li-Ion chemistries). Trade design requirements such as reliability, cost, modularity, and efficiency for power management and distribution (PMAD) components Estimate the size, mass, and location on vehicle of EPS components. Define and resolve challenges for key interfaces of EPS components (power quality, thermal, mechanical loads) with key stakeholders. Effectively communicate development status, risks, and challenges to management. Work closely with systems and design engineers to develop integrated design solutions - rapidly assess conceptual designs and iterate. Write cogent and succinct technical memos and devise innovative, intuitive, and delightful ways to visualize quantitative information. Qualifications: Bachelor of Science in Electrical or Computer Engineering, Physics or related disciplines At least 5 to 7 years of experience in design, development, test and operation of vehicle Avionics systems A breadth of understanding in electrical engineering such as developing complex circuit cards, consumer electronics, wireless devices, or other advanced electronic commercial or aerospace products Experience with analog, digital and mixed-sig
