Lead and coordinate spacecraft Transfer Stage integration across engineering, supply chain, and operations. Plan design release, manage BOM/MRP demand, track engineering release dates, develop procurement packages, interface with NASA, mitigate risks, and report program metrics to enable timely build and delivery.

Owns technical delivery for robotic spaceflight missions, translating mission objectives into system architectures, requirements, interfaces, verification plans, and performance budgets. Leads cross-functional design, integration, testing, trade studies, risk management, anomaly investigations, and customer communications. Partners with program managers on scope, schedule, cost, and technical risks while guiding multidisciplinary teams through complete hardware development lifecycles.

Develops and maintains mechanical layouts, detail parts, assembly drawings, and engineering datasets for Blue Origin’s lunar spacecraft systems. Uses Creo Parametric and Windchill to support structural, mechanical, fluids, avionics, and harness designs. Applies drafting standards, GD&T, tolerance analysis, aerospace hardware selection, and manufacturing methodologies while collaborating cross-functionally on materials, processes, and production-ready designs.

Supports the design, analysis, integration, and qualification of precision gimbal assemblies and pointing mechanisms for space-based optical communications systems. Responsibilities include trade studies, structural, thermal, and dynamic analysis, requirements and error budgets, qualification testing, documentation, interface definition, tolerance analysis, and production transition. The role involves collaboration with cross-functional teams and mentorship from senior engineers.

Leads Blue Origin’s Western Range launch infrastructure program at Vandenberg Space Force Base from design and construction through activation and steady-state operations. Responsibilities include managing schedule, budget, risks, contractors, regulatory compliance, agency relationships, ground systems integration, executive reporting, and cross-functional engineering, construction, and operations teams.

Lead verification planning and execution for complex ASIC/SoC digital subsystems. Develop UVM testbenches, reference models, scoreboards, protocol monitors, and assertions. Drive coverage closure, regression health, and verification signoff. Identify corner cases, collaborate across design, systems, DFT, firmware, and physical design, and support emulation, prototyping, and post-silicon debug.

Leads national security sales strategy and revenue growth for Blue Origin’s connectivity and data transport solutions. Builds relationships with defense, intelligence, military, and prime contractor customers; develops account plans, forecasts, value propositions, and revenue targets; and leads proposal and capture efforts through government acquisition processes. Partners with product management to align technology roadmaps with mission requirements and navigates complex, compliance-sensitive sales cycles.

Design and lay out high-reliability aerospace PCBs involving digital, analog, mixed-signal, high-speed, RF, and high-power circuits. Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams, create schematics and layouts, maintain eCAD libraries and technical documentation, resolve design issues, and support DFM, DFA, DFT, manufacturing, and testing. Review other designers’ work, improve PCB development processes, and mentor junior layout resources on Altium and PCB design best practices.

Lead systems engineering and execution of National Security Space Launch customer programs for New Glenn. Manage resources, schedules, budgets, requirements integration, technical deliverables, customer meetings, site visits, and business development activities. Collaborate across engineering and support organizations to deliver launch system products and services while maintaining customer satisfaction and program goals.

Design and lay out high-performance, high-reliability avionics PCBs for aerospace applications. Develop schematics, libraries, documentation, and manufacturing-ready layouts using Altium and related tools. Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, firmware, and software teams; resolve complex layout issues; support design reviews; ensure DFM, DFA, DFT, quality, and regulatory compliance; improve development processes; and mentor junior engineers and layout resources.
