Job description

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!
As a Principal Software Engineer for TeraWave, you will serve as the technical cornerstone for the "nervous system" of Blue Origin's next-generation global satellite constellation, designed to provide high-bandwidth, ultra-low-latency connectivity across the globe.
You will own the full Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) for intra-satellite data plane networking and platform software across multiple product nodes and hardware platforms.
This high-visibility role bridges the gap between hardware and software, requiring you to define technical strategies that align with ASIC, FPGA, and Systems Architecture teams to deliver a high-capacity, low-latency space-based network operating within the unique constraints of high-velocity orbital dynamics, rapidly changing topologies, and extreme speed-of-light limitations.
Responsibilities include but are not limited to:
  • Define the technical roadmap for intra-satellite data plane networking and platform software stacks
  • Lead the design and implementation of kernel-level networking subsystems, network switch/ASIC programming, and Hardware Abstraction Layers (HAL)
  • Drive architectural decisions through Design Review Boards, ensuring alignment with ground systems, manufacturing, and systems architecture
  • Define test strategies and develop foundation software for pre-integration and hardware bring-up phases
  • Troubleshoot low-level software and platform-specific Board Support Packages (BSPs) to diagnose root causes of system malfunctions or performance deviations
  • Solve complex issues in FPGA stability and system design to ensure a reliable global software-defined network
  • Deliver high-throughput, scalable end-to-end data plane networking solutions to internal and external customers
  • Develop real-time networking solutions for resource-constrained edge and embedded environments
  • Ensure hardware configurations meet specific end-user use cases across client platforms
  • Scale the engineering organization by recruiting and hiring top-tier engineering talent
  • Mentor senior engineers and guide teams through rigorous code and design reviews
  • Collaborate with internal teams across Intra-sat Networking, Platform Software, Radio Software, and Integration & Test
  • Partner with MAC Software, FPGA, Hardware/ASIC, Systems Architecture, and Manufacturing teams to drive cross-functional alignment
  • Represent technical programs and initiatives to Design Review Boards and Principal Engineering leadership

Minimum Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or related STEM discipline
  • 15+ years of professional software development experience
  • Expert-level development proficiency in C, C++, or Python

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Deep expertise in UDP, TCP/IP, and Layer 2 protocols including RSTP, Link Aggregation, and QCN
  • Advanced knowledge of Quality of Service (QoS) in high-performance networked systems
  • Experience with network switch and ASIC programming
  • Experience with Linux kernel-level networking and Board Support Packages (BSPs)
  • Proven track record in hardware/software co-design working alongside FPGA and ASIC teams
  • Hands-on experience with ARM or x86 processors in embedded, real-time environments
  • Deep understanding of testing, CI/CD pipelines, and continuous monitoring in dynamic production environments
  • Experience identifying and addressing security vulnerabilities in distributed systems
  • Demonstrated ability to influence stakeholders across Software, Hardware, and Systems Architecture organizations
  • Exceptional analytical skills and a creative approach to solving ambiguous technical constraints
