Senior High Voltage Power Electronics Engineer

Blue Origin Spacecraft Power Systems Engineer

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! The role is part of the In-Space Systems business unit, which is focused on addressing two of the most compelling challenges in spaceflight today: space infrastructure and increasing mobility on-orbit. The position is within the In-Space Systems business unit reporting to the Blue Ring Spacecraft Power Systems integrated product lead. In this role, you will be accountable for driving future In-Space Systems products and services by developing spacecraft hardware and architectures to meet our business goals. The selected candidate requires strong spacecraft design experience with an emphasis on power electronics and converter design & control, as well as excellent collaboration skills to work across multiple disciplines and business areas across Blue Origin. This position requires 8+ years of experience with power conversion design and architecture experience and a demonstrated ability to design to cost and design for manufacturing at rate. Deep understanding of common converter architectures (isolated and non-isolated), stability, power filtering, converter EMI, transformer design, and power and transient analysis and simulation methods. You will contribute to innovative solutions, while demonstrating personal leadership, technical judgement and competence, and a passion for the highest technical standards partnering with engineering leadership to achieve program goals with acceptable risk.

Responsibilities: As a Power Electronics Responsible Engineer, you will be responsible for hardware developments for spacecraft Electrical Power Systems with a primary focus on converter development. In this role, you will be accountable to implement power conversion architectures that support current and future Blue Origin spacecraft. The ideal candidate will have a breadth technical knowledge that includes radiation effects on converters as well as an understanding of top-level EPS architectures common in Space Vehicles. You will be required to take high level subsystem requirements and derive the ideal power conversion solution. You must be competent at trading power conversion architectures, conducting detailed converter analysis for both steady state and transient conditions, control and stability analysis, voltage drop analysis, stress analysis, in-rush analysis, EMI filtering, transformer design and implementation, analog design, overcurrent and overvoltage protection within converters, and implementation of Si, GaN, and SiC based devices. You will work with multidisciplinary teams of engineers (thermal, mechanical, radiation, etc.) to develop and deliver a compliant solution that meets vehicle needs. We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, experience, enthusiasm, and dedication to quality to support our customers' critical missions. Passion for our mission and vision is required!

Required Qualifications: Minimum of a B.S. in an electrical engineering, aerospace engineering or related engineering discipline. A minimum of 8 years of power converter design, architecture, and development experience. Proven experience with high voltage aerospace design. Demonstrated experience with converter designs for in the space environment from Earth orbiting (LEO to GEO) to deep space. Demonstrated experience with converter trades and architecture selection. Demonstrated experience with analog design, transformer design, EMI filter design, and protection design (overcurrent, overvoltage, and thermal) Ex
