Job description

We are now hiring a RTL Verification Engineer / FPGA Verification Engineer

Clue's motto is creating simple solutions to big problems.

We research, design, and produce innovative electronic systems for the aerospace industry. Our main areas of expertise are safety-critical embedded system design, artificial intelligence, and high-performance computing for avionics. We collaborate in R&D projects with global key players and develop disruptive products from scratch.

We are committed to excellence and efficiency in everything we do. We are aware of the importance of generating creative ideas and meeting deadlines, accepting new challenges and facing the problems we may find. To this end, we are in continuous learning and managing change.

What is the job about?

The RTL Verification Engineer will be an integral part of a team that invents, builds, verifies, and maintains a myriad of IP Cores for internal use, ranging from Avionics IP cores to state-of-the-art custom application modules.

To do this, you will lead verification decisions for IP Cores and full FPGA designs used in Clue's computer boards.

You will also participate in the definition of processes and methodologies for the RTL team related to verification, and you will collaborate with the integration of these verification processes in our CI/CD system.

You will participate in the definition of Verification Plans, Test cases and Procedures, implement RTL simulation testbenches, formal verification testbenches and scripts for verification in HW target. You will also elaborate Test Results documents and maintain traceability between Requirements, Test Cases and Test Results.

You will work in a collaborative environment where you will participate in multiple reviews of requirements, test cases, test results, etc, where you will collaborate closely with other colleagues to debug Clue RTL designs and where you will help with the training of other colleagues with less experience in verification.

What will you do?

• Development of Verification Plans
• Development of Test Cases and Procedures
• Implementation of RTL simulation test benches
• Implementation of RTL formal verification test benches
• Development of scripts for RTL verification on HW target
• Debugging of RTL designs
• Definition of processes and methodologies for the RTL team related to verification
• Integration of verification processes in RTL CI/CD system
• Help with verification training of other members of the team

What are we looking for?

Required:

• 4-8 years of relevant experience
• You are an expert using a HDL language (VHDL, System Verilog)
• RTL Verification is an essential part of your toolbox set (Directed test benches, formal verification, UVVM, verification on HW target)
• You have an excellent ability to create modular and reusable architectures
• You have experience developing Test Cases for Requirement based Verification
• You have worked under the guidance of design assurance standards (DO-254 or similar depending on the industry)
• You rather script something than do it twice (Python, TCL)
• You are able to integrate new verification tools in a CI/CD system

Valuable

• You understand what formal verification is and how to use it
• You have experience in FPGA/ASIC design
• Using synthesis tools is second nature to you (Synplify, Vivado, Quartus II)
• You have built confidence in your Static Timing Analysis skills to the point that you excel at spotting and fixing timing issues
• Possession of a disability certificate equal to or greater than 33% will be valued but is not mandatory, in compliance with the General Law on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and their Social Inclusion.

What do we offer?

• Hybrid work
• Full-time, permanent contract
• Private medical insurance
• 25 + 2 flexible vacation days
• Schedule flexibility
• Free Friday afternoons
• Career development and training scheme
• Free coffee and snacks
• Healthy lunch served daily for the staff at the office (Monday-Thursday)
• Work with the cutting-edge technologies

Which are the steps of the process?

• Talent Interview
• Technical Interview
• Management Interview
