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 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. As aLevel III Antenna Design Engineer, you will design the physical hardware that forms the backbone of our in-space communication network. You will be a foundational member of a new, in-house team tasked with creating the next generation of high-frequency antennas for Blue Origin’s space vehicles. This is a unique opportunity to work on the antenna system design from the ground up. Join our dynamic team as a Engineer, where you will play a key role in the design, analysis, simulation, testing, and integration of high-performance antenna systems for our next-generation Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellation. In this role, you will address complex technical challenges related to reflector geometries, feeds, and RF performance, ensuring reliable, high-throughput connectivity for users worldwide. Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Support design and develop antenna systems, including reflectors, feeds, radiating elements and sub-reflectors (Q, V and E-bands).
• Perform critical electromagnetic (EM) simulations using tools like HFSS, CST, and TICRA to optimize antenna performance.
• Collaborate closely with RFIC/MMIC, T/R module, DSP, mechanical, and thermal engineers to define requirements and ensure a cohesive system design.
• Support prototype fabrication, assembly, and RF testing (near-field, far-field, and environmental testing).
• Support the entire hardware lifecycle,...
