FPGA Verification Engineer - Air Vehicles

FPGA Verification Engineer - Air Vehicles

Location:

Dublin, Ohio, USA

Summary

This role 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 System Verilog, object‑oriented programming, and UVM.

Responsibilities

• 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 System Verilog 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

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
• 3-5+ years of experience in FPGA/ASIC verification
• Proficient in System Verilog, UVM methodology and SVA, with experience contributing to and extending UVM test benches
• Object‑oriented programming principles
• Industry simulators (Questa, VCS, Xcelium, or Vivado)
• Git‑based collaborative workflows including code review
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• Eligible to obtain and hold a U.S. Secret security clearance

Pay range: $70,000 – $78,000 USD
