We’re working to develop reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion. Join our team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight!\nBlue 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\nAs a Senior Verification Engineer on the ASIC & Networking team, you support TeraWave's first in-house silicon program, which comprises a high-throughput modem and a DSP-intensive digital beamformer with first tapeout targeted for 2027. Verification strategy, methodology, and infrastructure are being defined now, and you help define them.\nThe work spans IP, subsystem, and full SoC verification, including CPU subsystems, performance-critical interconnects, security, high-speed peripherals, modem datapath and PHY layers, DSP and beamforming compute, and mixed-signal interfaces. You own a subset of this scope aligned to your background.\nThe team treats constrained-random simulation, formal methods, and processor-driven SoC testing as equal first-class tools, and is building an AI-enabled verification platform that includes LLM-assisted stimulus and testbench generation, automated regression triage and failure clustering, and data-driven coverage closure. Because none of this is inherited, the engineers who build these capabilities will own them - and grow with the program as it scales.\nBackground in wireless communications, modem, baseband, and DSP verification is welcome but not required. Architects and modeling engineers support your ramp, and verification judgment and system-level thinking are weighted above domain background.\nResponsibilities:\nOwn verification planning and execution for complex blocks and subsystems, from test plan through sign-off.\nTranslate design specifications into verification strategies, measurable coverage goals, and early identification of high-risk scenarios.\nSelect verification methods for each problem, including constrained-random simulation, formal analysis, and directed testing.\nDevelop verification environments, reference models, scoreboards, protocol monitors, coverage components, and assertions.\nDrive functional coverage closure, regression health, and sign-off readiness across simulation and formal results.\nBuild verification infrastructure, regression and CI systems, and reuse strategy across IP, subsystem, and SoC levels.\nApply and build AI-assisted verification capabilities for stimulus generation, regression triage, and coverage analytics.\nReview testbench architecture and debug methodology, and mentor junior engineers in verification methodology.\nMinimum Qualifications:\nBachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience.\nMinimum five years of professional experience in ASIC or SoC functional verification.\nHands-on expertise in SystemVerilog, UVM or formal testbench development and maintenance.\nExperience with metric-driven verification for planning, assertions, and functional coverage closure.\nExperience verifying complex digital control and datapath logic, including RTL and system-level debug.\nPreferred Qualifications:\nBackground in space-based communications, wireless communications, or modem, baseband, or DSP hardware.\nExperience verifying LDPC, FEC, framing, or beamforming logic using bit-accurate reference models and fixed-point analysis.\nFormal verification experience on production silicon, including connectivity, register maps, arbitration, CDC, or security properties.\nExperience with interconnect or NoC verification covering performance, bandwidth, QoS, and deadlock analysis.\nExperience verifying fault tolerance and reliability features such as ECC, redundancy schemes, or fault injection.\nExperience developing C-based or portable stimulus for SoC, CPU boot, and firmware-driven test scenarios.\nExperience applying AI, ML, or LLM tooling to stimulus generation, regression triage, or coverage analysis.\nBase Pay Range for:\nCA applicants is $230,398.00 - $322,556.85Other site ranges may differ\nCulture Statement\nDon’t meet all desired requirements? Studies have shown that some people are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single desired qualification. At Blue Origin, we are dedicated to building an authentic workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every desired qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles.\nExport Control Regulations\nApplicants for employment at Blue Origin must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e. current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.\nBackground Check\nRequired for all positions: Blue’s Standard Background Check\nRequired for Certain Job Profiles: Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) background check if at any time the role requires one to be on a military installation\nRequired for Certain Job Profiles: Drivers who operate Commercial Motor Vehicles with a Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW), Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or combination of power unit and trailer that meets or exceeds 10,001 lbs. and/or transports placardable amounts of hazardous materials by ground in any vehicle on a public road while in commerce, may be subject to additional Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations including: Driver Qualification Files, Medical Certification (obtained before onboarding), Road Test, Hours of Service, Drug and Alcohol Testing, vehicle inspection requirements, CDL requirements (if applicable) and hazardous materials transportation/shipping training.\nRequired for certain Job Profiles: Ability to obtain and maintain Merchant Mariner Credential, which includes pre-employment and random drug testing as well as DOT physical\nBenefits\nBenefits include: Medical, dental, vision, basic and supplemental life insurance, paid parental leave, short and long-term disability, 401(k) with a company match of up to 5%, and an Education Support Program.\nStock Options for all regular employees (working at least 20 hours/week)\nPaid Time Off: Up to four (4) weeks per year based on weekly scheduled hours, and up to 14 company-paid holidays.\nDependent on role type and job level, employees may be eligible for benefits and bonuses based on the company's intent to reward individual contributions and enable them to share in the company's results, or other factors at the company's sole discretion. Bonus amounts and eligibility are not guaranteed and subject to change and cancellation.
