Resumo da vaga

Blue Origin's Lunar RF Systems group seeks a Senior Electrical Engineer to design mixed-signal electronics for space-rated RF products. You will own the lifecycle from concept to flight readiness and work with RF hardware, DSP, FPGA, and software engineers across disciplines.

You will develop analog/digital/power circuits for RF systems, design high-rel PCBs, and optimize power management for harsh environments, coordinating with thermal, mechanical and radiation teams to ensure mission success.

Qualificações

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, with 8+ years of experience or Master's degree with 6+ years of experience.
• Experience developing high-speed mixed-signal circuits, encompassing part selection, analysis, simulation, laboratory testing, and troubleshooting preferably for aerospace applications.
• Experience with circuit design, analysis, and PCB layout for high-speed ADCs, DACs, PLLs, DDRs, NAND/NOR flash memory, and FPGAs
• Knowledge of signal and power integrity, grounding topologies and general PCB

Responsabilidades

• Develop analog, digital, and power circuits for RF systems, including software-defined radios, power amplifiers, and low-noise amplifiers.
• Own the full product lifecycle from concept and design through manufacturing, test, and flight readiness, ensuring quality and performance at every stage.
• Design, manufacturing, and checkout of custom high-reliability PCBs for RF Systems applications.
• Develop power management solutions, such as DC/DC converters, for high-performance, compact, or harsh environments.
• Perform comprehensive parts stress and worst-case circuit analysis to ensure robustness under extreme conditions.
• Create and review manufacturing documents, including schematics, layouts, and bills of materials.
• Develop comprehensive test plans and procedures that cover all functional and non-functional requirements.
• Execute test procedures in a laboratory setting to verify boards meet requirements and perform root-cause analysis on discrepancies.
• Coordinate across thermal and mechanical analyses and radiation testing.
• Work with Technical Program Management for parts selection, procurement, vendor selection, and schedule updates.
