Director - TeraWave RF Payloads
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have:
- About the role: The paragraph after "At Blue Origin, we envision..." up to "Join our team...". Also description of TeraWave and the role. So we can put that as About the role.
- Responsibilities: list of bullet points under "Responsibilities". We need to capture each bullet.
- Qualifications: list under "Qualifications". Also there is "Preferred Qualifications". Could combine into Qualifications section? The instruction says use headings like Qualifications, Skills, etc. We have Qualifications (required) and Preferred Qualifications. Could put both under Qualifications heading, maybe separate sub-sections? But we should not create extra headings not listed. Could include both required and preferred under Qualifications. Or we could have Qualifications and Skills separate. The posting includes "Preferred Qualifications" which are more like additional qualifications. Could treat them as Qualifications as well.
- Benefits: list under "Benefits". We have details.
- Pay: there is "Base Pay Range For CA applicants is $272,861.00 - $382,004.70 WA applicants is $272,861.00 - $382,004.70 Other Site Ranges May Differ". So we have pay info. Should include Pay section.
- Schedule: not mentioned. No schedule info. So we should not include Schedule.
- Skills: not explicitly separate; but we could embed skills in Qualifications. Not required to create Skills if no specific content.
- Also there is "Application Close Date" etc. That's minor metadata; we can fold into a short p or drop. Probably drop.
- Remove boilerplate: EEO, Export Control Regulations, Background Check, etc. Remove those.
- Also remove "Culture Statement" maybe not needed? It's not a standard heading; could be considered part of About the role? It's a statement encouraging applicants. Could be included in About the role paragraph? Might be considered boilerplate? It's not EEO but it's a culture statement encouraging applying. Might keep as part of About the role? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Culture Statement is not exactly EEO but it's a motivational note; could keep as part of About the role? It's not a standard heading; we could incorporate into About the role paragraph. But we need to preserve ALL substantive information; not invent or summarize away detail. The Culture Statement is substantive? It's encouraging to apply; maybe we can keep as a paragraph under About the role.
- Also "Export Control Regulations" etc is legal; remove.
- "Background Check Required for all positions:" etc is legal; remove.
- "Benefits" section we keep.
- "Equal Employment Opportunity" etc remove.
- "Affirmative Action and Disability Accommodation" remove.
Thus final HTML: sections: About the role (h3), Responsibilities (h3), Qualifications (h3), Benefits (h3), Pay (h3). Possibly also include "Preferred Qualifications" as part of Qualifications.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose use
.
We need to preserve all substantive information: ensure we don't lose any details.
Let's extract About the role content:
"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 team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight! 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. We are seeking a Director to lead the development of a next-generation satellite communications payload including the Phase Array Antenna and RF gateways, from concept through manufacturing transfer. This leader will own a multidisciplinary team responsible for hardware architecture and design development, embedded software development, systems integration, validation, and production readiness."
Also there is Culture Statement: "Don’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."
We could include that as part of About the role paragraph after the main description. It's substantive.

- Lead hardware, embedded software, and systems engineering teams developing compact, rugged, high-performance communications terminals.
- Define product architecture across RF, digital, power, thermal, mechanical, firmware, and manufacturing domains.
- Drive execution from prototype to high-volume production, including design for manufacturability, testability, reliability, and cost.
- Partner with manufacturing and supply chain teams to select components, qualify suppliers, and transfer designs to a contract manufacturer or develop assembly processes.
- Establish program plans, technical milestones, risk management, and cross-functional coordination with operations, quality, and product management.
- Own system-level integration, bring-up, debugging, and validation strategy for hardware and firmware.
- Ensure embedded software supports secure boot, device provisioning, field updates, telemetry, diagnostics, and factory test.
- Build and mentor a high-performing team of engineers and technical leads.
- Manage external partners, including contract manufacturers, test labs, and specialist consultants.
- Create and maintain engineering processes for requirements management, change control, verification, and release readiness.
Now Qualifications (required):
- 10+ years of experience in hardware and embedded systems development, with at least 6 years leading technical teams.
- Proven success bringing complex connected hardware products from prototype to mass production.
- Strong background in RF design, embedded systems, board design, system integration, and production test.

- Experience with Linux-based embedded platforms, real-time constraints, boot flows, device provisioning, and firmware update mechanisms.
- Strong understanding of reliability engineering, root cause analysis, and failure analysis.
- Ability to lead across hardware, firmware, operations, and quality functions in a fast-paced environment.
- Excellent communication and organizational skills, with a track record of delivering on aggressive timelines.
Preferred Qualifications (we can include as part of Qualifications maybe as a sublist or separate bullet list under same heading). We'll just add them as bullets under Qualifications as well.
- Master’s degree in electrical, mechanical or software engineering, or related field.
- Experience with satellite communications, antenna systems, phased arrays, or wireless networking hardware.
- Background in secure hardware, cryptography, anti-tamper, or device identity systems.
