Job Title

Senior FPGA Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Senior ASIC/FPGA Verification Engineer on the Avionics development team. You will design and implement verification environments, run simulations and hardware validation, collect coverage metrics, and support design reviews and debugging.

Experience Level

Senior — requires 5+ years of verification experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities focus on verification of ASIC and FPGA designs across simulation and hardware platforms.

• Architect and implement ASIC/FPGA verification testbenches.
• Define test plans, generate test cases, and run simulations to verify functionality.
• Execute post-silicon and hardware-in-the-loop validation on target hardware.
• Collect and report functional and code coverage metrics.
• Validate and verify design requirements and assist with debugging design or test issues.
• Prepare materials for peer reviews and major program design reviews.
