From Blue Origin's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
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 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.
We are seeking a Mechanical Engineer to own the mechanical design and packaging of phased array antenna payloads.
This is a mechanical role where thermal performance is a primary design driver rather than a downstream check. Active phased arrays concentrate significant power into a small area, in vacuum, inside a tightly packaged satellite — so how the hardware is mounted, clamped, and coupled to structure determines how much capacity the array can deliver and how long it lasts. The mechanical and thermal problems here are genuinely coupled: improving a heat path is usually also a structural question, and often a manufacturing one.
You will work these problems as the mechanical technical point of contact for RF payload hardware, holding the mechanical baseline and negotiating it across RF, ASIC, electrical, thermal, and spacecraft structures. This is a role with real technical authority over a defined scope, not a coordination seat.
Scale changes the answers. We are building a constellation with tens of thousands of phased array antennas, not a handful of exquisite payloads, so fastener count, panel construction, thermal interface application, and assembly sequence are evaluated against cost and cycle time as seriously as against structural margin.
Manufacturability is treated as part of design, not a separate downstream activity — if you have been frustrated by a design that closed analytically but could not be built at rate, this is the role where that instinct is the job.
