Job summary

Blue Origin seeks a senior DSP/IC engineer to develop models and algorithms for the TeraWave Custom Silicon, covering packet processing, MAC/PHY, and RF DSP. You will implement DSP/PHY algorithms in MATLAB, Python, and C/C++, and drive fixed-point optimization for FPGA and ASIC targets with pre-silicon verification.

You will collaborate across ASIC, RFIC, and SW teams to design end-to-end digital communication systems and model channel impairments while supporting prototype pre-silicon platforms

Qualifications

• 10+ years of signal processing or modem design experience.
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• Experience with PHY, DSP, beamforming, RF and/or mixed-signal designs.
• Strong hands-on programming in MATLAB, Python, and C/C++ for DSP/communications algorithm development.
• Experience with floating-point and fixed-point modeling, bit-accurate implementation, and optimization.
• Experience with MATLAB, SystemC, C/C++ or other system-level modeling tools.
• Knowledge of DSP and communications systems, filters.

Responsibilities

• Develop models and algorithms for the TeraWave Custom Silicon, including packet processing, MAC, PHY, and RF DSP.
• Hands-on development and implementation of DSP/PHY algorithms using MATLAB, Python, and C/C++.
• Translate floating-point models to fixed-point and perform bit-accurate verification.
• Aim for lowest power consumption and highest performance.
• Target algorithms for FPGA and ASIC with fixed-point optimization and word-length analysis.
• Support ASIC implementation through pre-silicon verification.
• Design advanced digital end-to-end communication systems.
• Model channel impairments and verify across system models, RTL/FPGA, and silicon.
• Collaborate with ASIC, RFIC, and SW teams and assist pre-silicon bring-up.
