## Description

We are looking for a Senior FPGA Verification Engineer to join our rapidly growing team in Costa Mesa, CA. You will lead verification strategy and methodology for FPGA/SoC designs on AMD (Xilinx) platforms for flight-critical avionics, owning UVM-based methodology, coverage-driven verification, and the roadmap for verification tooling across our programs.

Key Responsibilities:

- Define UVM architecture and reusable verification component libraries used across programs

- Mentor verification engineers by reviewing testbenches, verification plans, and coverage models

- Represent verification in design reviews and program milestones

- Drive verification tooling, CI/CD, and regression infrastructure roadmap for the team

- Architect UVM verification environments (drivers, monitors, predictors, scoreboards) for AMD (Xilinx) FPGA/SoC designs and establish patterns others on the team follow

- 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

Requirements:

- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field

- 7+ 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

- SVUnit or equivalent unit-testing frameworks

- Formal verification or CDC verification tools

- Verification automation scripting (Python, Tcl, Makefile)

- Track record owning verification closure on a production or flight program end-to-end

- Experience defining verification methodology and mentoring engineers

- Strong communication and teamwork skills

- Eligible to obtain and hold a U.S. Secret security clearance

Preferred Qualifications:

- 10+ years of experience in FPGA/ASIC verification

- Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field

- DO-254, avionics verification standards for UAS, and safety-critical verification processes

- Digital interfaces: Ethernet, PCIe, JESD204C, MIL-STD-1553, SPI

- SoC and ARM-based embedded platforms

- Verification automation, CI/CD integration, and Nix-based build environments

- UVM base-class and framework library development

- DO-254 DAL A/B artifact ownership and experience supporting DER or customer audits
