We're working to develop reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion. Join our diverse team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight! This role is part of the Lunar Permanence business unit, which develops Blue Origin's multiple Blue Moon lander product lines. To further Blue Origin's mission of having millions of people living and working in space, we are building sustainable infrastructure for our transport of crew and cargo from Earth to the lunar surface. As part of a hardworking team of diverse, multi-disciplinary engineers, you will own the design, manufacturing, and testing of the antennas for Blue Origin's spacecraft. You will work with a multidisciplinary team for development of these antennas from early concepts to product prototypes to initial flight units. In this role, you will leverage your understanding of RF engineering, antenna parameter optimization, microstrip, aperture, wire and parabolic antenna types and their manufacture. You and the team will develop custom antennas that will enhance our target radio performance by taking advantage of physical aspects of the materials as well as designing to meet challenging environmental and test requirements. This position will report into the Lunar Antenna Vertical Integration team that is responsible for spacecraft antenna design, development, test, and qualification. 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! Responsibilities include but are not limited to: Develop, execute, and manage the plan for the testing, validation, and qualification of antennas and their associated components for spacecraft communications Write and develop automated scripts in MATLAB or Python to analyze antenna radiation patterns from HFSS simulations and test data Calibrate VNAs and anechoic chambers to ensure accurate and reliable antenna measurements Qualify antennas for challenging Lunar environmental requirements Lead a team of multi-disciplinary manufacturing and environmental engineers and technicians across multiple product teams to guide the testing and qualification of antenna products on schedule and budget Work with Avionics, Communications, and other product teams to ensure antenna products meet communications requirements through rigorous testing Serve as subject matter expert on antenna testing, RF measurement techniques, and environmental qualification processes Collaborate with manufacturing operations, supply chain, and other teams within the company to ensure smooth execution of testing efforts Identify cross-cutting capabilities and needs across Blue Origin, consolidate demand, and formulate efficient strategies for development of RF and antenna testing capabilities Develop RF product testing evolution plans and strategies, execute projects for continuous improvement of our communications testing capabilities, and oversee their integration into our spacecraft programs Relentlessly look for opportunities to increase performance, enable new capabilities and bolder missions, reduce cost, and reduce cycle time/production time Minimum Qualifications: B.S. in electrical engineering, physics, or
