Sr Electrical Engineer – Design Verification - FPGA​/ASIC (Onsite

Avionics Fpga/Asic Design Verification Engineer

Join a growing Avionics FPGA/ASIC organization focused on delivering high-performance, safety-critical digital hardware for Collins Aerospace products. This role is ideal for a highly experienced and motivated Electrical or Computer Engineer with a strong background in design verification for complex ASIC, FPGA, and SoPC developments. As a Design Verification Engineer, you will apply industry-leading verification methodologies to ensure robust, compliant, and high-quality airborne electronic hardware used across our next-generation Displays, Computing, and Networking solutions.

You will work closely with digital designers, systems engineers, and certification teams to drive requirements-based and coverage-driven verification from concept through integration and certification under DO-254 DAL-A.

What You Will Do:

• Develop verification plans based on requirements capture, decomposition, and traceability.
• Architect and implement advanced constrained-random and directed verification environments (UVM/System Verilog).
• Create, develop, and maintain reusable verification components, test benches, sequences, and functional coverage models.
• Perform ASIC/FPGA/SoPC verification using simulation, inspection, analysis, and hardware test methods.
• Conduct functional, code, and assertion coverage analysis and drive closure against verification goals.
• Apply best-practice verification techniques including linting, CDC analysis, LEC, assertions, and regression automation.
• Collaborate with design teams to review architecture, interface specifications, and RTL implementation for testability and completeness.
• Generate DO-254 DAL-A verification artifacts and support certification activities for Airborne Electronic Hardware (AEH).
• Participate in technical peer reviews and FAA SOI audits.
• Contribute to engineering bids, support RFIs/RFPs, and provide accurate estimation for verification scope and effort.
• Communicate effectively across engineering, program management, and customer teams.
• Mentor junior verification engineers and recommend workflow/tool enhancements for continuous improvement.
• May perform responsibilities associated with project engineering as required.

Qualifications You Must Have:

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and minimum 5 years prior relevant experience or an Advanced Degree in a related field
• Experience developing test benches and verification environments in System Verilog, VHDL, and/or Verilog.
• Hands-on experience with verification and simulation tools (e.g., Questasim, Vivado, Libero, Synplify Pro).
• Understanding of common digital interfaces (PCIe, DDR, Ethernet, I2C, ARINC
  429, CAN, etc.).
• Experience verifying timing behavior, device-level timing constraints, and clock domain crossings.
• Experience with scripting languages such as Python, Perl, Linux shell, or C/C++.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively with globally distributed, cross-functional engineering teams.

Qualifications We Prefer:

• Strong experience with UVM and constrained-random verification methodology.
• Knowledge of DO-254 processes and verification-related design assurance activities.
• Familiarity with chip-level verification best practices including functional coverage, code coverage, assertions, and LEC.
• Experience with video or networking technologies.
• Demonstrated ability to manage cost, schedule, and performance for verification activities.
• Basic risk management experience including identification, quantification, and mitigation planning.

What We Offer:

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Three weeks of vacation for newly hired employees
• Generous 401(k) plan that includes employer matching funds and separate employer retirement contribution, including a Lifetime Income Strategy option
• Tuition reimbursement program
• Student Loan Repayment Program
• Life insurance and disability coverage
• Optional coverages you can buy pet insurance, home and auto insurance, additional life and accident insurance, critical illness insurance, group legal,  protection
• Birth, adoption, parental leave benefits
• Ovia Health, fertility, and family planning
• Adoption Assistance
• Autism Benefit
• Employee Assistance Plan, including up to 10 free counseling sessions
• Healthy You Incentives, wellness rewards program
• Doctor on Demand, virtual doctor visits
• Bright Horizons, child and elder care services
• Teladoc Medical Experts, second opinion program
• And more!
