Sr Signal Processing FPGA Engineer – Wireless Systems – Lunar Permanence
Join to apply for the Sr Signal Processing FPGA Engineer – Wireless Systems – Lunar Permanence role at
Blue Origin . 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. This role is part of the Lunar Permanence business unit, which develops Blue Moon landers and related products. We are building sustainable infrastructure for our transport of crew and cargo from Earth to the lunar surface. This is a highly collaborative, technical role focused on radio and antenna applications for our lunar permanence initiatives.
Responsibilities
Assist in the design, development, and testing of DSP algorithms and blocks, digital systems, and FPGA firmware for communications systems and Software Defined Radios for lunar missions.
Support Matlab/Simulink code generation for signal processing and filtering blocks.
Analyze algorithmic computational complexity and hardware resource needs (FPGA fabric, memory/IO bandwidth, etc.).
RTL logic implementation and FPGA prototyping on System on Chip platforms.
Collaborate with hardware engineers to drive device selection: FPGA, ADC/DAC, DDR3/4, NOR flash, etc.
Support hardware bring-up and work with EE engineers on design verification.
Collaborate cross-functionally with RF hardware engineers, system engineers, and mission architects to define requirements and develop scalable communication systems.
Ensure compliance with industry standards and Blue Origin’s safety and reliability requirements.
Maintain thorough documentation of firmware and software development and testing procedures for knowledge transfer and regulatory compliance.
Minimum Qualifications
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, telecommunications, or a related field with a minimum of 8 years of relevant experience, including hands-on firmware and software development for radio and communications applications.
Experience writing RTL using Verilog/SystemVerilog/VHDL (SystemVerilog preferred). Experience developing and implementing DSP algorithms on FPGAs/SoCs.
Expertise in digital communications system design, digital signal processing, and embedded software development.
Proficient with Matlab/Simulink or equivalent modeling environment and experience in DSP algorithms on FPGAs/SoCs.
Proven track record of supporting complex wireless communication projects from conception to deployment with understanding of communication protocols, modulation schemes, and standards.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to work in a multidisciplinary team.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Preferred Qualifications
Strong understanding of FPGA development, RTL design, synthesis and verification, CDC, constraints, timing closure.
Proficient with FPGA development tools such as Xilinx Vivado and Intel Quartus.
Experience writing RTL using Verilog/SystemVerilog/VHDL (SystemVerilog desired).
Experience working on Xilinx FPGA or SoC platforms and developing firmware for space communication systems.
Familiarity with lunar or planetary communication challenges.
Demonstrated ability to innovate and stay updated with emerging wireless communications and digital systems technologies.
Compensation CA applicants: $177,567.00-$248,593.80; WA applicants: $177,567.00-$248,593.80
Benefits and Compliance
Benefits include: medical, dental, vision, life insurance, paid parental leave, short and long-term disability, 401(k) with company match up to 5%, and an Education Support Program.
Paid time off: up to four weeks per year, plus up to 14 company-paid holidays.
Discretionary bonus: designed to reward individual contributions and allow employees to share in company results.
Eligibility for benefits varies by role; please confirm with your recruiter for a comprehensive list of available benefits.
