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.
About the Role
Blue Origin is seeking a talentedSoftware Engineerto join Silicon System team. In this role, you will work closely with RF system and DSP engineers to optimize simulation models forsilicon-based components and phased array antenna systems. Your work will directly impact the performance, accuracy, and scalability of our simulation infrastructure.
Responsibilities
- Optimize existingMATLAB, Python, and C++simulation models for phased array antenna systems to reducememory 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
- Implementhigh-performance C++ algorithmsfor 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 maintainunit and integration teststo 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
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree inComputer Science, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or related field
- 3+ years of experience insoftware engineering with MATLAB, Python, and C++
- Demonstrated experienceprofiling and optimizingcomputational code for speed and memory efficiency
- Strong understanding ofdata structures, algorithms, and memory management
- Familiarity withnumerical methodsand scientific computing
- Experience with version control systems (Git)
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
Preferred Qualifications
- Master's or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Applied Math, or related field
- Experience withphased array antenna systems, RF simulation, or electromagnetic modeling
- Knowledge ofsilicon RFIC and DSP designor related hardware simulation
- Experience withMATLAB MEX filesand MATLAB/C++ co-development
- Experience withparallel and distributed computingframeworks
- Background in signal processing or beamforming algorithms
- Experience working inaerospace, defense, or satellite communicationsenvironments
