Job Description
Senior Avionics FPGA Design & Verification Engineer at Blue Origin designing multi-layer PCBs for space flight vehicles. Collaborating on complex digital and mixed-signal systems for satellite communications.
Responsibilities:
- Design multi-layer PCBs for complex digital, mixed-signal and high power systems including FPGAs, Microcontrollers
- Develop PCB layouts for Digital/Analog/RF circuits with careful attention to impedance control, loss tangent, and electromagnetic compatibility
- Perform signal integrity analysis for high-speed digital interfaces (PCIe, DDR, Ethernet)
- Conduct power integrity analysis and design power distribution networks (PDN) for low-noise, high-current applications
- Create component libraries, design rule checks (DRCs), and maintain design standards
- Collaborate with electrical engineers on component selection, schematic review, and design optimization
- Generate fabrication and assembly documentation including Gerber files, drill files, and assembly drawings
- Work with PCB fabricators and CM vendors to ensure manufacturability and resolve fabrication issues
- Support board bring-up activities, debugging hardware issues related to PCB design
- Design for space environment considerations including thermal management, radiation tolerance, and mechanical stress
Requirements:
- B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field with 5+ years of PCB design experience
- Proficiency with PCB design tools (Altium Designer, Cadence Allegro, or similar)
- Strong understanding of signal integrity principles for high-speed digital design (transmission lines, termination, crosstalk)
- Experience with controlled impedance design and working with PCB stackup optimization
- Experience with high voltage layout design including considerations for creepage clearance and thermal management
- Knowledge of EMI/EMC best practices and design guidelines
- Familiarity with IPC standards (IPC-2221, IPC-6012, IPC-A-610)
- Experience with PCB layout for FPGAs, high-speed ADCs/DACs, or mixed-signal designs
Benefits:
- 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%
- Education Support Program
