Application close date:

Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed.

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!

Blue Origin is pioneering the future of space-based connectivity with TeraWave, a revolutionary satellite communications network designed to deliver symmetrical data speeds of up to 6 Tbps anywhere on Earth. This network will service tens of thousands of enterprise, data center, and government users who require reliable connectivity for critical operations.

Blue Origin is seeking a talented PAA/DBF DSP Simulation & Verification Enginee r to join Silicon System team. In this role, you will work closely with RF system and DSP engineers to optimize simulation models for silicon-based components and phased array antenna systems . Your work will directly impact the performance, accuracy, and scalability of our simulation infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities:

Optimize existing MATLAB, Python, and C++ simulation models for phased array antenna systems to reduce memory footprint and simulation runtime

Profile and benchmark simulation code to identify performance bottlenecks and implement targeted improvements

Refactor legacy MATLAB scripts into efficient, modular, and maintainable codebases

Implement high-performance C++ algorithms for computationally intensive antenna and silicon modeling tasks

Collaborate with RF and DSP engineers to understand physical models and ensure optimization does not compromise simulation fidelity

Develop and maintain unit and integration tests to validate model accuracy before and after optimization

Explore and integrate techniques such as:

- Parallel computing (e.g., MATLAB Parallel Computing Toolbox, OpenMP, MPI)

- Memory management and data structure optimization

- Algorithmic complexity reduction

- MEX file development for MATLAB/C++ integration

Document optimization strategies, methodologies, and results clearly

Support continuous integration pipelines for simulation model validation

Master's or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Applied Math, or related field

Experience with phased array antenna systems , RF simulation, or electromagnetic modeling

Knowledge of silicon RFIC and DSP design or related hardware simulation

Experience with MATLAB MEX files and MATLAB/C++ co-development

Experience with parallel and distributed computing frameworks

Background in signal processing or beamforming algorithms

Experience working in aerospace, defense, or satellite communications environments

Culture Statement

Don’t meet all desired requirements? Studies have shown that some people are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single desired qualification. At Blue Origin, we are dedicated to building an authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every desired qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.

Candidates may be subject to verification and BGS screening as per applicable law.
