We specialize in leading-edge electronic product development, with hardware, embedded software, FPGA/ASIC, and signal integrity teams working together to design and deliver next-generation products for clients in emerging technology markets.\nPosition Overview/Mandate:\nThe Verification Designer owns block- and system-level verification of ASIC and FPGA designs for Fidus clients, planning and executing complex verification projects end to end - building UVM, formal, and assertion-based verification environments and driving coverage closure.\nThis role is ideal for someone who takes lead-level ownership of verification strategy, is comfortable moving between different application domains (communications, storage, signal processing, video), and takes pride in producing thorough, well-documented verification work - often working directly with clients on verification approach.\nMake an Impact with US:\nAt Fidus, you'll work on high-speed, high-complexity electronic systems, often using emerging technologies before they reach the broader market. You'll collaborate across FPGA/DSP, hardware, embedded software, verification, SI/PI, PCB layout, and mechanical/thermal design as part of cross-functional teams delivering real products for our clients.\nIn practice, that means contributing to projects across Communications, Aerospace & Defense, Life Sciences & Medical Devices, Space & Satellite, Industrial Automation, Automotive, and Semiconductor engagements. You won't be limited to a single product or industry-your work will follow the technology, not just one roadmap.\nWhat You'll Be Doing:\nOwn block- and system-level verification of ASIC and FPGA designs, from test plan development through coverage closure.\nDesign and implement UVM, formal, and assertion-based verification environments, applying constrained-random verification (CRV) techniques.\nDevelop behavioral models and write test cases to achieve functional coverage goals; define and track coverage metrics to closure.\nDebug and troubleshoot failures in simulation and regression runs, collaborating with designers and system architects to resolve issues.\nAutomate verification tasks and monitor regressions using scripting (Python, Perl, or Tcl).\nPlan, execute, and report status on multiple verification activities as a verification lead.\nWork directly with external clients on verification strategy and support.\nWho You are:\n8+ years of ASIC/FPGA verification experience, with proven verification-lead ownership - able to plan and execute complex verification projects end to end.\nStrong SystemVerilog and UVM methodology fluency, including constrained-random verification (CRV) techniques.\nExperience with functional coverage, assertions, and formal verification techniques; comfortable defining and tracking coverage metrics to closure.\nFamiliarity with industry-standard protocols such as Ethernet, DDR/LPDDR, HBM, security, networking, AXI, NoC, and ARM CPU subsystems.\nExperience with alternative verification environments (cocoTB, pyUVM, DPI-C) is a plus.\nProficiency in scripting languages (Python, Perl, or Tcl) to automate verification tasks.\nStrong debugging skills, problem-solving ability, and analytical thinking.\nStrong interpersonal, teamwork, and communication skills; comfortable being client-facing.\nEmbraces AI as part of a modern engineering toolkit.\nBachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.\nLocation and travel: Fully remote role and travel may be required domestically and internationally to support customer engagements and project delivery.\nThis position may require access to export-controlled information subject to ITAR and EAR. Candidates must be a U.S. person as defined under 22 CFR 120.62, or be eligible for an export license, and may be required to complete security screening.\nBenefits\nOur competitive compensation package also includes a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision plans, matching 401(k) contributions, annual profit-sharing bonus, along with other supplementary benefits.\nWe also recognize that candidates show interest throughout different career stages and welcome all applications. When there is a great fit, the level of the role may be shifted as applicable.\nAbout Fidus & Why Work Here\nSince 2001, Fidus has completed over 4,000 projects for more than 400 customers across industries including Telecom/Datacom, Aerospace & Defence, Consumer, Semiconductors, Industrial/Automotive Controls, and Medical. As a Premier Adaptive Computing Partner for AMD North America, we combine deep technical expertise with industry-leading tools to solve complex design challenges.\nFidus designs high-speed, high-complexity electronic systems using emerging technologies, often well before they reach the broader market.
