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.

We are seeking a CAD Engineer specializing in EDA automation and verification flows to enhance the productivity and reliability of our ASIC design process. This role focuses on building robust automation frameworks and verification infrastructure to accelerate the development of our next‑generation satellite communications chipsets.

• Develop and maintain automation scripts and frameworks to streamline ASIC design and verification workflows
• Implement and improve continuous integration systems for ongoing design validation
• Build and maintain regression infrastructure for functional verification and physical design sign‑off
• Automate repetitive tasks across synthesis, place‑and‑route, simulation, and sign‑off flows
• Work closely with design and verification engineers to identify productivity bottlenecks and develop targeted automation solutions
• Maintain and enhance job scheduling and workload management systems
• Develop metrics dashboards to track design progress, compute utilization, and flow health
• Contribute to the development of regression testing frameworks for CAD flow validation

• B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
• 10+ years of experience in CAD/EDA automation or semiconductor design
• Strong scripting and programming skills (Python, Perl, Tcl, shell, or equivalent)
• Experience with verification flow automation or ASIC design methodology
• Familiarity with industry‑standard EDA tools (synthesis, P&R, simulation, sign‑off)
• Experience implementing continuous integration workflows in a hardware design context

• M.S. in relevant engineering discipline
• Experience with advanced node technologies (7nm or below)
• Background in regression infrastructure and job scheduling tools (e.g., LSF, Grid Engine, Slurm)
• Knowledge of cloud‑based EDA solutions and distributed computing
• Understanding of Dev Ops principles applied to hardware design
• Experience with mixed‑signal or RF design flow automation
• Familiarity with hardware design data management systems
