Full Job Description
ABOUT THE JOB

We are looking for a FPGA Verification Engineer to join our rapidly growing team in Costa Mesa, CA. You 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. If you are someone who has supported rapid avionics development, then this role is for you.

WHAT YOU'LL DO
  • 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

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
  • 2+ 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

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • 5+ 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
  • SVUnit or equivalent unit-testing frameworks
  • Formal verification or CDC verification tools
  • Digital interfaces: Ethernet, PCIe, JESD204C, MIL-STD-1553, SPI
  • Verification automation scripting (Python, Tcl, Makefile)
  • SoC and ARM-based embedded platforms
  • Verification automation, CI/CD integration, and Nix-based build environments
