FPGA Verification Engineer II

We are looking to add an FPGA Verification Engineer II to our team. If you enjoy working in a startup environment and are passionate about developing leading-edge phased arrays for satellites, spacecraft, and aerospace systems, we would like to hear from you.

JOB DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Contribute to the evaluation and technical implementation of FPGA and digital design simulation, verification and emulation infrastructure.
• Contribute to the development, maintenance and phased deployment of continuous integration and regression testing infrastructure.
• Develop state-of-the-art UVMf-based top-level and module-level testbenches using block-to-top best practices for reusability, including both control and data plane stimulation using VIP & System Verilog DPI-C integration with existing MATLAB and Python numerical models.
• Lead the development of reusable custom VIP modules.
• Work closely with the engineering and senior leadership teams to train and mentor engineers at all experience levels on UVMf testbench usage and modern approaches to FPGA/digital design. Work with the modeling and scientific staff to implement DPI-C dataplane verification interfaces into existing MATLAB and Python models.
• Aid the Lead Verification Engineer in evaluating current processes regarding FPGA and digital design with a focus on Xilinx TLM models and QEMU-RP integration.
• Work closely with vendors to define requirements of future simulation model deliverables.
• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of industry best-practices regarding FPGA and digital design methodologies.
• Work closely with the engineering leadership team to evaluate and non-disruptively implement process improvements.

JOB REQUIREMENTS AND MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

• A Bachelor of Science (BS) or Master of Science (MS) degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Engineering.
• Minimum of 2 years of industry experience in verification and automation.
• Knowledge of FPGA digital design verification techniques including VHDL, Verilog, SystemVerilog, C/C++, SystemC, UVM/UVMf, DPI-C, TLM, Formal CDC and functional analysis, QEMU and VIP.
• Understanding of digital design automation infrastructure, including CI, regression testing and HIL testing.
• Competency with Linux.
• Knowledge of vendor-provided FPGA development tools with a focus on Xilinx tools.
