Senior ASIC Design Engineer - Terawave

Blue Origin•San Diego, CA

1d•Onsite

About The Position

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 ASIC/SOC Design Validation engineers (all levels including Senior, Principal, Senior Principal) to work in the Design Validation team who are critical to ensuring our RFIC/ASIC designs culminate in thoroughly validated cutting-edge integrated circuits that drive Blue Origin's mission of enabling millions to live and work in space for the benefit of Earth.
