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.

We are seeking an mmWave IC Design Engineer to drive the development of state-of-the-art RF/mmWave integrated chips at Blue Origin. In this pivotal role, you will be designing cutting-edge integrated front-end circuits such as power amplifiers, low-noise amplifiers, phase shifters, variable-gain amplifiers, mixers, multipliers, and synthesizers at RF/mmWave frequencies, primarily in advanced silicon technologies. Your innovation in front-end implementation will be critical in realizing system architectures for next-generation communication networks and advancing our mission of enabling millions of people to live and work in space for the benefit of Earth.

Special Mentions:

- Relocation provided

- Travel expected up to 10% of the time

- Interviews will include a technical assessment

- This role will be based onsite in San Diego, CA; the Bay Area, CA; or Renton, WA. A temporary remote work exception is approved while our Bay Area and San Diego sites are being developed.

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Design state-of-the-art RF/mmWave front-end chipsets, including power amplifiers, low-noise amplifiers, phase shifters, variable-gain amplifiers, mixers, multipliers, and synthesizers.
• Partner with RF system engineers to run feasibility studies and architect RF/mmWave transmitter and receiver front-ends, translating system-level requirements into chip-level specifications.
• Design and simulate on-chip electromagnetic (EM) structures and collaborate with the package engineering team on co-optimization of IC/package interfaces.
• Supervise chip-level front-end integration and optimization throughout the development lifecycle and ensure successful production
• Work with third-party design partners

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, or related technical discipline
• 7+ years of experience in millimeter-wave/RFIC design using SiGe, CMOS, and SOI technologies, with successful completion of multiple product lifecycles for high-volume chipsets.
• Strong experience with various circuit topologies for amplifiers, mixers, switches, and synthesizers, specifically at mmWave frequencies with fully integrated on-chip implementations.
• Proven expertise in the analysis and optimization of transmitter and receiver front-ends for complex modulated waveforms, including practical modeling and circuit simulations of TX/RX chains with time-sampled waveforms.
• Hands-on experience in mmWave IC characterization and debugging.
• Experience with analog building blocks such as operational amplifiers, bias generators, temperature sensors, LDOs, and ADC/DAC implementations.
• Proficiency in EM simulations for both on-chip and package components.
• Prior experience with top-level integration, including ESD, mixed-signal/mixed-mode verification, and DFM concepts.
• Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Advanced degree (MS/PhD) in Electrical Engineering or related field
