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 connectivity with TeraWave, a revolutionary satellite communications network designed to deliver symmetrical data speeds of up to 6 Tbps anywhere on Earth. This network will service tens of thousands of enterprise, data center, and government users who require reliable connectivity for critical operations.As part of a hardworking team of specialists and engineers, you will develop low-level firmware for the Digital Beamforming (DBF) ASICs in the TeraWave system. You will work closely with hardware and communications systems engineers to develop, integrate, and validate firmware controlling key functions of custom DBF silicon.
Key Responsibilities:
• Develop ROM code and runtime firmware for Digital Beamforming (DBF) ASICs.
• Develop and support firmware for beam pointing, analog calibration, FEIC management, SerDes link management, secure boot, telemetry, and sideband control of DBF ASICs.
• Work closely with hardware and communications systems engineers to define and implement firmware and hardware interfaces.
• Support pre-silicon firmware development, integration, and validation.
• Support post-silicon bring-up, debugging, and validation of custom DBF ASICs.
Minimum Qualifications:
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• 10+ years of experience in firmware development.
• Experience developing software in C.
• Experience writing software that directly controls hardware, such as firmware, kernel device drivers, or low-level embedded code.
• Experience debugging and validating embedded firmware and hardware/software interactions.
Preferred Qualifications:
• Experience with RF and communications concepts such as OFDM, digital beamforming, phased antenna arrays, and 3GPP specifications.
• Experience leading and mentoring other engineers.
• Experience with RTOS and hard real-time constraints, such as FreeRTOS or Zephyr.
• Experience with Cortex-M ISA.
• Experience working with DSP accelerators.
• Experience with Rust, especially no-std Rust.
• Experience with CI flows and automated hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing.
• Understanding of board-level hardware design, including the ability to work with schematics and data sheets.
• Experience testing firmware using pre-silicon simulation and emulation platforms such as QEMU, Palladium, or ZeBu.
• Experience with bring-up of custom silicon.
