About TeraWave

Blue Origin is pioneering 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.

The Role

You will be critical to ensuring RFIC and ASIC designs culminate in thoroughly designed and validated cutting-edge integrated circuits. You will drive end-to-end design and verification methodologies, from writing requirements and specifications to post-silicon bring-up.

Design and Verification Responsibilities

  • Verilog and SystemVerilog design of complex SoCs
  • CDC, RDC, LINT verification techniques
  • Write requirements, specifications and test plans
  • Optimize performance while keeping power low
  • Clock gating (dynamic and static)
  • Multi-voltage SoC front-end design
  • Formal verification
  • Functional coverage definition and collection
  • Module and complex subsystem verification
  • Complex SoC verification
  • Co-simulation with software and integration of software build tool flow with simulation
  • Gate simulation
  • External IP integration
  • ARM CPU single and multi-core integration with bus fabric, GIC, cache, MMU, secure boot
  • AXI bus complex integration
  • High-performance DMA
  • NOC integration
  • DDR, PCIe, Ethernet, SPI integration
  • High-speed SerDes integration
  • DSP structures (FIR, Cordic, FFT/IFFT, MAC, circular buffers, analog-digital interface)
  • Modem design using state-of-the-art DSP, coding, framing (PHY and MAC)
  • Sequenced and time-bound data movement in DSP structures (time slots, timestamps)
  • SoC top-level integration using models for analog macros
  • Verification using golden reference models in Matlab, SystemC or C
  • Code coverage analysis
  • Timing constraints
  • Support back-end teams during DFT, LEC, floorplan, STA

Post-Silicon and FPGA

  • Post-silicon bring-up
  • ASIC to and from FPGA flow

Minimum Qualifications

  • BS or MS in Electrical Engineering or related technical discipline
  • 10+ years of experience
  • Deep working knowledge and hands-on experience in innovative verification flows

Location

This role is based on-site in San Diego, CA; Bay Area, CA; Austin, TX; or Kent, WA.
