Wireless Communication Systems Engineer

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.

Job Description

As part of a hardworking team of engineers and specialists, you will develop and analyze wireless communication system algorithms and architectures for the TeraWave custom silicon platform. You will work across communication systems, modem PHY/MAC, digital signal processing, RF, ASIC, and software teams to develop algorithms and system models and support their implementation in custom silicon. You will contribute to the development of high-performance, power-efficient communication solutions for advanced space-based wireless systems, from algorithm development and system simulation through pre-silicon verification and post-silicon validation. Special Mentions

• Relocation provided
• Travel expected up to 20% of the time
• Interviews will include a technical assessment
• This role will be onsite in either the Bay Area, CA; San Diego, CA; Austin, TX; or Kent, WA. A temporary remote work exception may be available while specific sites are being developed.

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Develop and model wireless communication algorithms and signal-processing functions for custom silicon, including modem PHY/MAC, radio DSP, beamforming, and packet-processing functions.
• Develop end-to-end communication system and link-level models to evaluate system performance, architecture tradeoffs, and implementation requirements.
• Develop and analyze channel and RF impairment models, including noise, interference, Doppler, frequency and timing offsets, phase noise, nonlinearities, and other relevant impairments.
• Design and evaluate algorithms for synchronization, channel estimation, equalization, modulation/demodulation, coding, link adaptation, and other modem functions.
• Analyze algorithm performance and implementation tradeoffs including performance, complexity, latency, memory, bandwidth, power, and fixed-point requirements.
• Translate communication-system and algorithm requirements into specifications suitable for FPGA and ASIC implementation.
• Work closely with ASIC engineers to support hardware implementation, fixed-point conversion, architecture tradeoffs, and pre-silicon verification of communication algorithms.
