Application close date:

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.

The Silicon Systems organization at TeraWave designs, develops, and produces custom silicon solutions for our satellite communications constellation, serving data center, enterprise, and government customers with high-speed internet services. As a Senior IC Packaging: Signal and Power Integrity Engineer, you own signal and power integrity for our RFIC and mmWave packaging, with a focus on RF implementation, high-speed signal integrity, and power integrity for integrated circuit packaging. You report to the VP of Silicon Systems and collaborate closely with RFIC designers, mmWave designers, ASIC designers, and SoC architecture teams. This is an individual contributor role that may operate as a technical lead for the signal and power integrity portion of package delivery.
