Job summary

Blue Origin in California is seeking a Principal Modem SOC Design Engineer to lead RTL design for the satellite modem SOC and define microarchitecture from system specs. You will align design decisions across the modem PHY, Arm compute, debug, and IO infrastructure to production silicon.

You will interface with system, SOC, and software architecture teams and drive cross-team collaboration to solve complex design challenges in a safety-conscious, inclusive environment.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering or related field.
• 12+ years of digital ASIC or SOC RTL design experience.
• Experience defining microarchitecture for modem or communication SOC blocks.
• Experience with Arm compute subsystem design (AXI interconnect & SRAM controllers).
• Experience with LPDDR4/LPDDR5/LPDDR6 interfaces.
• Experience with high-speed Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
• Experience with SOC-level integration (bus fabric, clock, reset).
• Experience with debug subsystems using Arm CoreSight.
• Experience with synthesis and timing closure.

Responsibilities

• Lead RTL design in Verilog or SystemVerilog for the modem SOC.
• Define microarchitecture from system specifications and performance requirements.
• Develop Arm compute subsystem logic, including AXI interconnect and SRAM controllers.
• Integrate debug subsystem components using Arm CoreSight architecture.
• Drive SOC-level integration, including clock, reset, and GPIO subsystems.
• Serve as the technical interface to system, SOC, and software architecture teams.
• Collaborate with performance modeling and FPGA prototyping teams on design decisions.
