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 pioneering the future of space-based communications with TeraWave, a revolutionary satellite communications network designed to deliver symmetrical data speeds of up to 6 Tbps anywhere on Earth. This multi-orbit constellation will consist of optically interconnected satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) and medium Earth orbit (MEO), providing enterprise-grade connectivity for critical operations worldwide.**Special Mentions:**This is a unique opportunity to design harness systems for a mega-constellation of 5,408 satellites, where manufacturability, cost optimization, and production rate are first-order design drivers from day one. You will work across every subsystem on the vehicle — EPS power distribution, flight computer C&DH, GNC sensors, propulsion, solar array, RF and optical payloads, and thermal management — giving you broad spacecraft-level visibility that few harness roles offer.**Responsibilities include but are not limited to:****Harness Design & Documentation:*** Design, develop, and release spacecraft wire harness assemblies for bus, payload, and integration applications across the TeraWave satellite constellation* Develop Bundle Interconnect Diagrams (BIDs) and Wire Interconnect Diagrams (WIDs) in coordination with LRU/box owners across all subsystems (avionics, propulsion, GNC, RF payload, optical payload, solar array, thermal)* Produce harness engineering drawings including harness assembly drawings, installation drawings, and connector pin assignment drawings* Create and maintain 3D harness routing models in Creo/Windchill, performing interference checks, bend radius verification, and mass/length estimation* Work to harness specifications, workmanship standards, and design requirements aligned with Blue Origin command media**Connector & Interconnect Design:*** Select connectors, backshells, contacts, and interconnect hardware appropriate for the space environment (vacuum, thermal cycling, radiation, vibration)* Define connector keying, clocking, and pin assignments to ensure proper mating and prevent misconnection during integration* Specify shielding termination methods (360° backshell termination, pigtail, drain wire) based on EMI/EMC requirements and signal type**Analysis & Verification:*** Perform harness-related analyses including voltage drop, wire derating, current capacity, weight estimation, and thermal dissipation* Support EMI/EMC analysis for harness segregation planning — separate power, signal, and RF runs per the Electromagnetic Effects Control Plan**Manufacturing & Integration Support:*** Coordinate with manufacturing engineering on harness fabrication — support make/buy decisions, develop build instructions, and resolve production issues* Support harness fabrication to specified workmanship standards* Develop test procedures for harness acceptance testing (continuity, hipot, insulation resistance, megohm)* Support vehicle integration and test — troubleshoot harness anomalies, process redlines, and support connector mate/demate operations* Design harnesses for manufacturability and rate production — minimize harness variants, standardize connector families, and optimize for assembly time at constellation scale (5,408 satellites)**Minimum Qualifications:*** Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related technical field* 3+ years of experience in spacecraft or satellite harness design, cable routing, or electrical integration* Demonstrated experience producing harness assembly drawings, installation drawings, and connector pin assignment documentation* Hands-on experience with BID/WID development and interface coordination across multiple subsystems* Proficiency with electrical harness CAD tools (Creo Cabling / Routed Systems, Zuken, Capital Harness, Mentor/Siemens, or equivalent)* Working knowledge of harness fabrication standards* Understanding of EMI/EMC principles as applied to harness segregation, shielding, and grounding* Familiarity with connector systems used in space applications (Micro-D, Nano-D, D-sub, circular MIL-DTL-38999, MIL-DTL-83513, etc.)* Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, Block diagrams, and interface control documents**Preferred Qualifications:*** 5+ years of experience in spacecraft harness design with at least one program through full lifecycle* Experience with Creo Cabling / Routed Systems and Windchill PLM for harness configuration management* Direct experience designing harnesses for satellite constellations or high-rate spacecraft or automotive production environments* Experience with high-voltage (>50V) spacecraft power harness design* Experience with harness weight optimization techniques for mass-constrained spacecraft* Background in harness-level or system-level signal integrity analysis for high-speed data interfaces (Ethernet, SpaceWire, LVDS)* Strong attention to detail and ability to manage multiple concurrent harness designs in a fast-paced environment* Experience supporting harness fabrication shops — reviewing first articles, dispositioning nonconformances, and developing rework procedures### Base Pay Range for:CA applicants is $107,136.00 - $149,990.40CO applicants is $98,208.00 - $137,491.20WA applicants is $107,136.00 - $149,990.40**Other site ranges may differ** **Culture Statement**Don’t meet all desired requirements?
