Job summary

Blue Origin LLC is seeking a senior digital design engineer to develop high‑reliability avionics for spaceflight. You will drive RTL and FPGA implementations, design SoC interfaces, and optimize architectures for performance, power and cost.

You will verify with UVM/SVA and contribute to early prototype validation, documenting decisions and participating in cross‑functional design reviews. The role requires extensive experience in FPGA tool flows, timing, and radiation-hardened design practices,

Qualifications

• B.S. or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related discipline.
• 7+ years of experience in digital design and SoC architecture.
• Proficiency in SystemVerilog or Verilog for RTL implementation.
• Experience with SoC integration and interface design.
• Familiarity with synthesis tools and RTL-to-gates methodology.
• Experience with simulation and debugging of complex digital systems.
• Strong background in FPGA and FPGA tool flow.
• Knowledge of industry-standard bus protocols (AXI, AHB).
• Experience with radiation-tolerant or radiation-hardened FPGA/SoC design techniques.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop digital hardware architectures for high reliability satellite avionics.
• Create and implement RTL code for critical SoC blocks and interfaces.
• Contribute to architecture optimization for performance, power, and cost trade-offs.
• Collaborate on design verification to ensure robust and reliable designs.
• Participate in advanced verification techniques: UVM, SVA, and constrained random verification.
• Support prototype development for early validation.
• Document design specifications, architecture decisions, and implementation details.
• Participate in design reviews and technical discussions with cross-functional teams.
