FPGA Verification Engineer, Air Dominance and Strike

Job Title

FPGA Verification Engineer, Air Dominance and Strike

Role Summary

Own verification of FPGA/SoC designs on AMD (Xilinx) platforms for flight-critical avionics in Costa Mesa, CA. Work on UVM-based, coverage-driven verification and collaborate with design, hardware validation, and systems teams to deliver robust avionics FPGA designs.

Experience Level

Mid-level; the role expects a candidate with at least 2 years of FPGA/ASIC verification experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

• 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 find corner-case bugs.
• Establish and maintain regression suites; track coverage metrics and verification progress.
• Debug failures using waveform tools and simulation logs at 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-critical standards; author verification closure reports and coverage summaries.

Requirements

Must-have skills and conditions:

• 2+ years of FPGA/ASIC verification experience.
• Proven proficiency with SystemVerilog, UVM methodology, and SVA.
• Familiarity with object-oriented programming principles.
• Experience with industry simulators (Questa, VCS, Xcelium, or Vivado).
• Experience with Git-based collaborative workflows and code review.
• Comfortable in Linux development environments.
• Strong communication and teamwork skills.
• Eligible to obtain and hold a U.S. Secret security clearance.

Education Requirements

Required: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field. Preferred: Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
