FPGA Verification Engineer - Air Vehicles

Summary: 

This role will own verification of FPGA/SoC designs on AMD (Xilinx) platforms for flight-critical avionics, with a focus on UVM-based methodology and coverage-driven verification. This will require expertise in SystemVerilog, object-oriented programming, and UVM.

Responsibilities:

• Architect and implement UVM verification environments (drivers, monitors, predictors, scoreboards) for AMD (Xilinx) FPGA/SoC designs 
• Develop verification plans with traceability to system and hardware requirements 
• Author SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) for protocol compliance and design intent checks 
• Build functional coverage models and drive code coverage analysis to closure 
• Develop constrained-random and transaction-level test sequences to maximize coverage and uncover corner-case bugs 
• Establish and maintain regression suites, tracking coverage metrics and verification progress 
• Debug failures using waveform tools and simulation logs at the HDL and system level 
• Collaborate with design engineers on RTL reviews, bug resolution, and micro-architecture refinement 
• Support hardware validation and board bring-up on target platforms 
• Ensure verification meets DO-254 and relevant safety standards 
• Author verification closure reports and coverage analysis summaries

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field 
• 3-5+ years of experience in FPGA/ASIC verification 
• Proficient in SystemVerilog, UVM methodology and SVA, with experience contributing to and extending UVM testbenches 
• Object-oriented programming principles 
• Industry simulators (Questa, VCS, Xcelium, or Vivado) 
• Git-based collaborative workflows including code review 
• Linux development environments 
• Strong communication and teamwork skills 
• Eligible to obtain and hold a U.S. Secret security clearance
