SLD FPGA Verification Engineer III - Lunar Permanence

Job Title

SLD FPGA Verification Engineer III - Lunar Permanence

Role Summary

Participate in verification of FPGA-based avionics solutions for the Lunar Permanence business unit, focused on Blue Moon landers and related systems. Work with design engineers to develop requirements, perform formal and simulation-based verification, and execute on-target testing to meet high-reliability and certification objectives.

Experience Level

Mid-level (Engineer III). Typical guidance: 5+ years verifying FPGAs or ASICs.

Responsibilities

Deliver verification activities for FPGA IP, subsystems, and systems to satisfy functional and safety/certification goals.

• Perform requirements-based verification using SystemVerilog and UVM.
• Create comprehensive verification and validation plans covering functional and system-level verification.
• Develop IP/subsystem/system-level testbenches and tests to meet coverage targets.
• Write directed and constrained-random test cases and run regressions.
• Collect and analyze coverage matrices; write reports in support of certification to high DAL.
• Document verification plans, procedures, and results; review results against coverage goals.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills, experience, and eligibility.

• 5+ years experience verifying FPGAs or ASICs.
• In-depth experience with RTL simulation tools (e.g., Siemens QuestaSim, ModelSim) and RTL debug.
• Strong knowledge of SystemVerilog and the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM).
• Experience developing testbench environments and verification components (Monitor, Scoreboard, Driver, Agent) from scratch.
• Experience with functional coverage, coverage classes/points, assertions, and constrained-random verification.
• Experience with Register Abstraction Layer and generating coverage/verification reports.
• Proficient debugging skills to isolate issues between RTL design and testbench/test cases.
• Authorized to work in the United States: U.S. citizen, U.S. permanent resident (Green Card), or lawfully admitted refugee or asylee (per export control requirements).

Nice-to-have:

• Familiarity with AXI, PCIe, Ethernet, SPI, I2C interfaces.
• Experience debugging FPGA/ASIC hardware and supporting HW/SW integration.
• Experience managing regression/CI infrastructure (e.g., GitLab) and scripting for automation (Python, Perl, TCL/Shell).
• Working knowledge of NPR 7150.2, DO-254, or other safety-critical standards.

Education Requirements

BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field (as stated in the posting).
