This role is part of the Lunar Permanence business unit, which develops Blue Origin's Blue Moon landers and related products. To further Blue Origin's mission of millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth, we are building sustainable infrastructure for our transport of crew and cargo from Earth to the lunar surface.
We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight. Passion for our mission and vision is required!
As part of a hardworking team of multi-disciplinary engineers, you will be part of the development of radar systems for Blue Origin's lunar spacecraft. You will be part of a team responsible for development and optimization of these components from early concepts to product specifications, and to integration with the flight vehicle.
You will work closely with the guidance, navigation, and control (GN&C) team to seamlessly integrate these components with the rest of the GN&C subsystem. This role is deeply interdisciplinary and requires coordination among a group of internal stakeholders, adjacent integrated product teams, and suppliers. Your contributions will enable flight of state-of-the-art aerospace vehicles and missions. Passion for our mission and vision is required!

- Design and validate signal processing algorithm for applications of detection, tracking, RF calibration, parameter estimation.
- Support Matlab/Simulink Code generation for signal processing and filtering
- Analysis of algorithmic computational complexity and hardware resource needs (FPGA fabric, memory/IO bandwidth, etc.).
- Signal-to-Noise/Clutter Ratio, Signal Sensitivity, RF nonlinearity calibration
- Work with hardware engineers to drive device selection : FPGA, ADC/DAC, DDR3/4, NOR flash, etc.
- Support HW bring-up and work alongside EE engineers to support design verification
- RTL logic implementation and FPGA prototyping
Minimum Requirements:- B.S. in Electrical Engineering or a related field with +5 years of DSP experiences
