## Description

Why this role Turning radar returns into a confident answer about what an object is and how it behaves is still an open problem. On this team, you'll own the AI layer that takes raw radar data, finds objects of interest, and characterizes them well enough that the autonomy stack or operator can act on the result. You will be developing technology where labeled data is scarce, hardware resources are constrained, and the output matters. This is a new development program where you get to decide the model architecture., * Design, train and evaluate deep learning models (GNNs, transformers, DRL, Learned Algorithm Unfolding or hybrids) that find and classify objects of interest in raw radar data as well as range-Doppler and range-angle maps.

 * Build characterization models that estimate object attributes such as size, shape, motion state, track, behavior, with calibrated uncertainty.
 * Represent radar data in the right form for each model, for example point or track graphs for GNNs.
 * Build the data engine: synthetic data generation, simulation-based training, labeling strategy, augmentation, and handling of class imbalance.
 * Detect inputs that fall outside the training data, and flag low-confidence results so downstream systems know when not to trust the model.
 * Work with the Advanced Systems, DSP, GNC, and flight software teams to define how data is handed between stages and to deploy models on embedded or edge hardware.
 * Define the metrics, test sets, and evidence needed to qualify ML models for deployment to the edge., Applicants for employment at Blue Origin must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e. current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.
