Electrical Ground Support Equipment Technical program manager – New Glenn, SEIT Integrated Vehicle Test Engineer
Space Coast, FL On-site
Salary not listedJobFig found this opening at its original source and checks that it remains available.
About 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 bring
- 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
- 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
