Senior Hardware Engineer - Gateway Systems, TeraWave

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-basedconnectivitywith

TeraWave, a revolutionary satellite communications network designed to deliver symmetrical data speeds of up to 6

Tbpsanywhere on Earth.

This network will service tens of thousands of enterprise, data center, and government users who require reliable connectivity for critical operations.

Blue Origin's Tera Wave Gateway team is developing advanced ground infrastructure to support high-capacity satellite communications. The Senior Engineer - Gateway Hardware Systems will contribute to the development, evaluation, and optimization of electronic hardware and components used in gateway subsystems.

This role is suited to an engineer with a strong foundation in electrical engineering, semiconductor technologies, microelectronics, and hardware development. The engineer will work closely with RF, electrical, mechanical, and systems engineering teams to evaluate electronic components, assess emerging technologies, support hardware design decisions, and address component-level performance, integration interfaces, thermal, and packaging considerations.

The successful candidate will apply a combination of device-level understanding, circuit analysis, experimental characterization, and practical hardware-development experience to help deliver reliable, manufacturable, and scalable gateway hardware.
