Senior IC Packaging Engineer - EM Simulations

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 Tera Wave, 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 Tera Wave 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 Engineer you own Electromagnetic (EM) Simulation for our RFIC and mmWave packaging, with a focus on RF implementation, high-speed signal integrity, and power integrity for integrated circuit packaging. You will work closely with our VP of Silicon Systems and collaborate with RFIC, mmWave, Analog Mixed Signal, and SoC design stakeholders. This is an individual contributor role that may operate as a technical lead for the Electromagnetic Simulation portion of package delivery.

Special Mentions Relocation provided Travel expected up to 15% of the time Interviews will include a technical assessment

This role is based onsite in San Diego, CA, Bay Area, CA. A temporary remote work exception is approved while our San Diego site is being developed.
