ASIC/FPGA Verification Engineer

Job Description:

• Intelligence & Weapons Systems has an exciting opportunity for multiple ASIC/FPGA Verification Engineers to join us as part of our Electronic Products team in either El Segundo or Huntington Beach, CA.

• As an ASIC/FPGA Verification Engineer on the Electronic Products team you will develop state-of-the-art digital ICs/SoCs to support the most critical programs across the enterprise.
• We collaborate with other electronics groups across the company and around the world and support ASIC/FPGA design and verification for electronics that we build in El Segundo and for units designed at other sites.

Position Responsibilities:

• Design and implement an ASIC/FPGA verification environment utilizing UVM & System Verilog.
• Develop self-checking and reusable test benches from the ground up, employing Object-Oriented Programming principles such as Inheritance and Polymorphism, while utilizing UVM to build drivers, monitors, predictors, and scoreboards.
• Create Functional Coverage Models and conduct Code Coverage analysis to ensure thorough verification of designs during simulation.
• Set up regression tests and collect coverage metrics to ensure comprehensive verification and track progress over time.
• Assist in FPGA-based prototyping and validation based on program and system requirements and complexity.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure that verification strategies align with overall project goals and timelines.

Required Skills:

• A Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering (specialising in Electrical, Mechanical, or Aeronautical), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, or equivalent non-US qualifications relevant to the job description.
• Proven experience in ASIC/FPGA verification processes.
• Familiarity with defining the architectural framework for ASIC/FPGA verification using SystemVerilog/UVM, including the delivery and release of production designs.
• Proficiency in hardware verification languages, particularly SystemVerilog and SystemVerilog Assertions.
• Demonstrated experience in implementing test plans effectively.
• Solid understanding of Object-Oriented Programming principles, such as Inheritance and Polymorphism.
• Capability to design self-checking and reusable test benches from the ground up.
• Experience in developing Functional Coverage Models and achieving Code Coverage closure.
• Capable of collaborating with design and system engineering to establish accurate and verifiable ASIC/FPGA level specifications.
• Familiarity with waveform debug tools.
• Revision Control Systems: svn, cvs, git.
• Proficient in Linux Environments.

Preferred Skills:

• 10+ years of related work experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
• Master's Degree in EE, Computer Engineering/Science, or related field, or equivalent experience.
• Experience with hardware-based integration and test of ASIC/FPGA designs.
• Experience with hardware emulators, especially Palladium.
• Experience with high-speed Serdes interfaces (JESD204C, PCIe, Ethernet).
• Proficient in scripting languages: Make, Perl, Python, etc.
• Familiarity with space-based design techniques and radiation mitigation.
• Demonstrated history of 1st pass success with ASIC designs.
