Avionics Mechanical Design & Analysis Engineer III - (TS Clearance required)
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We need to parse the job posting. Key content: - Intro: "Application Close Date Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed." That's metadata, can be folded into short
or dropped. - Mission statement: "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." - Title line: "Avionics Mechanical Design & Analysis Engineer III Core Systems & Components | Blue National Security Build the Hardware That Protects Space Missions" - Then description: "Space is unforgiving — extreme temperatures, violent vibration and shock, radiation, and vacuum. The electronics that fly on Blue Origin spacecraft have to survive all of it, and that’s where you come in. We’re looking for an experienced avionics packaging engineer to own ruggedized enclosures and mechanical systems from concept through flight release — not just contribute to pieces of the job, but drive it. This role requires an active Top Secret (TS) security clearance. Current SCI access, or eligibility and willingness to obtain SCI access, is preferred." - "The Mission Blue Origin is building the infrastructure for humanity’s future in space. Every avionics box you design protects the systems that keep vehicles safe and missions on track. You’ll work at the intersection of mechanical design, electrical integration, and space-environment survival — alongside a curious, collaborative team that takes pride in getting the hard problems right." - "Your Impact As an Avionics Mechanical Design and Analysis Engineer III, you’ll lead development of the protective mechanical systems for spacecraft avionics — shielding sensitive electronics from thermal extremes, vibration, shock, radiation, EMI, and vacuum. Your technical calls will shape system reliability, vehicle integration, manufacturability, and mission success." - "What You’ll Do" bullet list: many items. - "What You Bring" bullet list: qualifications. - "Bonus Points For" bullet list: additional qualifications. - "Base Pay Range For CO applicants is $119,814.00 - $167,738.55 WA applicants is $130,706.00 - $182,987.70 Other Site Ranges May Differ" - "Culture Statement" paragraph about applying even if not meeting all. - "Export Control Regulations" paragraph about citizenship. - "Background Check Required..." paragraph. - "Benefits" paragraph: list of benefits. - "Equal Employment Opportunity" etc: boilerplate to remove. - "Affirmative Action and Disability Accommodation": boilerplate. We need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we should drop sections like "Equal Employment Opportunity", "Affirmative Action and Disability Accommodation", "Export Control Regulations", "Background Check Required", "Culture Statement"? The culture statement is not boilerplate? It's a statement encouraging applicants; might be considered boilerplate but it's specific to the role? It's generic but maybe we keep? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." Culture statement is not exactly EEO but it's a generic encouragement; could be considered boilerplate but not explicitly listed. Safer to keep? The instruction says remove EEO/equal-opportunity boilerplate. Culture statement is not EEO but similar. I'd keep it as part of "About the role" maybe. We need sections: About the role (intro/mission), Responsibilities (What You’ll Do), Requirements (What You Bring), Qualifications (maybe Bonus Points For?), Skills (maybe combine?), Benefits, Pay. Schedule not present, so omit. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for title. We need to use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all bullet points exactly as given (maybe rephrase? but must preserve detail). We'll copy bullet points.
We need to decide which sections to include.
Potential sections:
- About the role: includes mission, vision, description of role context, maybe the paragraph about "Space is unforgiving..." and "The Mission..." and "Your Impact". Could be combined.
- Responsibilities: the "What You’ll Do" list.
- Requirements: the "What You Bring" list (mandatory).
- Qualifications: maybe the "Bonus Points For" list (preferred). Could be called "Preferred Qualifications" but we only have headings list: Qualifications, Skills. Could use "Qualifications" for mandatory and "Skills" for bonus? But better: Use "Requirements" for mandatory, "Qualifications" for bonus, "Skills" maybe not needed. However we need to follow instruction: use headings only when posting has real specific content. So we can have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay.
We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "not specified". All sections have content.
Now we need to format.
Let's extract the content precisely.
First, About the role: combine paragraphs:
"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."
Then maybe include the paragraph about space unforgiving and role description: "Space is unforgiving — extreme temperatures, violent vibration and shock, radiation, and vacuum. The electronics that fly on Blue Origin spacecraft have to survive all of it, and that’s where you come in. We’re looking for an experienced avionics packaging engineer to own ruggedized enclosures and mechanical systems from concept through flight release — not just contribute to pieces of the job, but drive it. This role requires an active Top Secret (TS) security clearance. Current SCI access, or eligibility and willingness to obtain SCI access, is preferred."
Then maybe include "The Mission Blue Origin is building the infrastructure for humanity’s future in space. Every avionics box you design protects the systems that keep vehicles safe and missions on track. You’ll work at the intersection of mechanical design, electrical integration, and space-environment survival — alongside a curious, collaborative team that takes pride in getting the hard problems right."
Then "Your Impact As an Avionics Mechanical Design and Analysis Engineer III, you’ll lead development of the protective mechanical systems for spacecraft avionics — shielding sensitive electronics from thermal extremes, vibration, shock, radiation, EMI, and vacuum. Your technical calls will shape system reliability, vehicle integration, manufacturability, and mission success."
We could combine all into About the role.
Now Responsibilities: the "What You’ll Do" list items. Let's extract them exactly as bullet points:
- Own complex avionics packaging assemblies—including enclosures, chassis, and mounting systems—across the full lifecycle: requirements, design, analysis, verification, qualification, release, and production support.
- Partner with electrical, systems, thermal, structures, manufacturing, quality, and test engineers to architect integrated packaging solutions for PCBAs, connectors, and harnessing.
- Drive thermal, structural, vibration, shock, and fatigue analyses, and lead trade studies balancing mass, thermal and structural performance, EMI/EMC protection, manufacturability, cost, schedule, and risk.
- Deliver high-quality models, drawings, specifications, interface control documents, and configuration-controlled release packages.
- Apply GD&T in accordance with ASME Y14.5 to enable effective manufacturing, assembly, inspection, and integration.
- Shape environmental test campaigns end-to-end, including planning, hardware preparation, data review, anomaly investigation, root-cause analysis, and verification closeout.
- Mentor less-experienced engineers, lead design reviews, and engage suppliers through design changes and configuration management.
- Perform work in accordance with all applicable security requirements and protect classified information, controlled technical data, and other program-sensitive materials.
Now Requirements: "What You Bring" list:

Now Benefits: paragraph:
"Benefits include: Medical, dental, vision, basic and supplemental life insurance, paid parental leave, short and long-term disability, 401(k) with a company match of up to 5%, and an Education Support Program. Stock Options for all regular employees (working at least 20 hours/week) Paid Time Off: Up to four (4) weeks per year based on weekly scheduled hours, and up to 14 company-paid holidays. Dependent on role type and job level, employees may be eligible for benefits and bonuses based on the company's intent to reward individual contributions and enable them to share in the company's results, or other factors at the company's sole discretion. Bonus amounts and eligibility are not guaranteed and subject to change and cancellation. Please check with your recruiter for more details."
We need to keep that as prose; maybe split into
but we can keep as one paragraph.
Now Pay: "Base Pay Range For CO applicants is $119,814.00 - $167,738.55 WA applicants is $130,706.00 - $182,987.70 Other Site Ranges May Differ"
We need to present as prose.
Now we need to exclude boilerplate: "Culture Statement", "Export Control Regulations", "Background Check Required", "Equal Employment Opportunity", "Affirmative Action and Disability Accommodation". Also drop "Application Close Date Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed." maybe fold into short p or drop. We'll drop it.
Now produce HTML fragment.
