PAA/DBF DSP Simulation & Verification Engineer
About the job
## 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 Engineer 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 ## Minimum Qualifications - Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or related field - 3+ years of experience in software engineering with MATLAB, Python, and C++ - Demonstrated experience profiling and optimizing computational code for speed and memory efficiency - Strong understanding of data structures, algorithms, and memory management - Familiarity with numerical methods and 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 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.
