You will develop verification environments, validate hardware and software interactions, and work with architecture, design, and firmware teams to identify and resolve issues.
This role requires 8–15 years of relevant experience, strong hands-on SystemVerilog/UVM skills, and the ability to manage verification responsibilities independently.
Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches, reusable Universal Verification Components (UVCs), and automated tests.
- Create verification plans covering FPGA functionality, interfaces, and hardware/software interactions.
- Develop and integrate C-based tests, APIs, and software build flows.
- Implement mailbox mechanisms and communication components supporting hardware/software verification.
- Collect and analyze functional and code coverage, identify gaps, and drive coverage closure.
- Debug test failures, document defects, and collaborate with design and firmware engineers to resolve issues.
- Work with verification, architecture, design, and firmware teams to define verification scope and review results.
- Improve verification environments to increase defect detection and test efficiency.
- Own verification deliverables, communicate risks, and escalate issues when appropriate.
- Mentor junior engineers and participate in technical reviews.
Required Qualifications
- 8–15 years of relevant FPGA design verification experience.
- Strong understanding of FPGA devices and verification methodologies.
- Hands-on experience developing SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches and reusable verification components.
- Experience developing C-based tests and integrating hardware/software verification flows.
- Experience with test planning, functional and code coverage, debugging, and coverage closure.
- Ability to work independently and collaborate across engineering teams.
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent relevant experience.
- U.S. citizenship required.
- Ability to work onsite in El Segundo, CA, five days per week.
Preferred Qualifications
- DoD Secret clearance.
- Experience verifying SpaceWire protocols.
- Experience with DDR4 memory interfaces.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene
Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
- Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
- Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
- Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
