Senior Embedded Systems Engineer - TeraWave

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.

As part of the Spacecraft Bus Avionics team, you will be a crucial member of our avionics organization and will directly contribute to the successful development of avionics components for our satellite program. Our avionics components make up integrated products such as Command & Data Handling (C&DH), Electrical Power Systems (EPS), Cameras, and similar products. Built with modern Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA), microcontrollers, and advanced System-on-Chip (SoC) devices, our integrated avionics products host embedded software that configures, controls, performs preprocessing, and enhances the operation of our hardware components.

We are looking for an experienced embedded software engineer that will be responsible for designing, implementing and verifying embedded software for mission-critical spaceflight systems working directly with avionics hardware engineers. This is a software role that is hardware heavy, and the candidate that we are looking for should be comfortable reading hardware datasheets, understanding registers maps, have a keen sense of performance tradeoffs, and must have hands-on lab debugging skills. You will collaborate with cross-functional, multidisciplinary teams and often work on multiple embedded software efforts simultaneously.
