SLD Electrical Power Systems - FPGA Verification Engineer III - Lunar Permanence

At Blue Origin, we envision millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. We're working to develop reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion.

Join our diverse team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight!

We are a diverse team of collaborators, doers, and problem-solvers who are relentlessly committed to a culture of safety.

This position will directly impact the history of space exploration and will require your commitment and detailed attention towards safe and repeatable space flight.

Join us in lowering the cost of access to space and enabling Blue Origin's vision of millions of people living and working in space to benefit Earth.

As an FPGA Verification Engineer working on avionics systems, you will need to possess a range of skills and experience to ensure the safe and reliable operation of critical systems.

You will be responsible for developing, implementing, verifying, and testing firmware for FPGA-based systems that must operate in harsh environments and under demanding conditions.

To be successful in this role, you will need to have experience in developing firmware for FPGA-based avionics systems, as well as a deep understanding of FPGA development languages such as VHDL or Verilog.

You will also need experience with FPGA development tools and methodologies, including simulation, synthesis, and verification.

In addition, you will need to be able to work effectively in a team environment, collaborating with hardware and software engineers to integrate firmware with other system components.

You will need to be able to communicate technical information clearly and concisely, both verbally and in writing. You will work directly with NASA and our National Team Partners as part of the Human Landing System (HLS) Sustaining Lunar Development (SLD) program.

You will play a key role in developing the Lunar Transportation system that will return humans to the Moon and extend human presence permanently beyond the bounds of Earth.

We are looking for someone to apply their technical expertise, leadership skills, and commitment to quality to positively impact safe human spaceflight.
