Principal Silicon Test Engineer - TeraWave

Blue Origin is pioneering the future of space-based connectivity with TeraWave, a revolutionary satellite communications network designed to deliver symmetrical data speeds of up to 6 Tbps anywhere on Earth. This network will service tens of thousands of enterprise, data center, and government users who require reliable connectivity for critical operations.

Job Description Blue Origin is seeking a Principal ASIC Test Engineer to lead production test strategy for RF, mmWave, and mixed-signal integrated circuits within Silicon Systems. This individual contributor role serves as the technical lead for final test of mmWave front-end ICs and converter-intensive ASICs, with focus on RF/mmWave performance, high-speed ADC and DAC testing, manufacturability, and cost of test. The role leads test engagement with manufacturing and OSAT partners and mentors internal test engineers supporting front-end IC and digital beamformer programs.

Special Mentions

• Relocation provided
• Travel expected up to 15% of the time
• Interviews will include a technical assessment

Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Define wafer sort and final test strategies, coverage targets, and production release criteria for RF and mixed-signal devices.
