Job description

Job Description

Are you driven by curiosity, energized by complex challenges, and motivated to dissect the unknown? Join a cutting‑edge team where your expertise directly shapes mission outcomes and national security. We’re looking for engineers who excel at uncovering how systems work (and why), thrive in an environment where innovation moves fast and the stakes are high.

HII Mission Technologies seeks out‑of‑the‑box thinkers who can uncover difficult‑to‑activate corner‑case bugs and vulnerabilities in the gate‑level netlists of FPGA and ASIC designs. Candidates will use industry‑standard functional verification tools (Questa, VCS, Verdi), logical equivalence tools (OneSpin 360EC), and proprietary software to verify design function and integrity. Common verification targets include embedded processors, DSPs, filters, transceivers, data links, systems‑on‑chip, and decoders.

Responsibilities

• Develop models, transactors, stimuli, monitors, and test benches for simulating and uncovering hidden behaviors in gate‑level digital netlists.
• Produce clear documentation and test cases demonstrating identified bugs or deviations from the specification.
• Collaborate effectively with teammates to produce cohesive results and improve processes.

Salary Ranges

Level 2: $90,000–$95,000
Level 3: $120,000–$130,000
Level 4: $160,000–$175,000
Level 5: $185,000–$190,000

Minimum Qualifications

• Level 2: 2 years relevant experience with a Bachelor’s degree in a related field; 0 years with a Master’s; or High School Diploma or equivalent with 6 years relevant experience.
• Level 3: 5 years relevant experience with a Bachelor’s degree; 3 years with a Master’s; 0 years with a PhD; or High School Diploma or equivalent with 9 years relevant experience.
• Level 4: 9 years relevant experience with a Bachelor’s degree; 7 years with a Master’s; 4 years with a PhD; or High School Diploma or equivalent with 13 years relevant experience.
• Level 5: 15 years relevant experience with a Bachelor’s degree; 13 years with a Master’s; 10 years with a PhD; or High School Diploma or equivalent with 19 years relevant experience.
• Willingness to obtain a Top‑Secret security clearance.
• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.

• Revision control systems for maintaining, sharing, and deploying code: Perforce, Git, SVN, etc.
• Familiarity with debugging and isolating issues with gate‑level netlists.

Preferred Requirements

• Familiarity with object‑oriented, embedded, assembly, or machine code programming.
• Software or hardware reverse‑engineering (IDA Pro, Ghidra).
• FPGA design or verification experience.
• Active Top Secret security clearance.
• Familiarity with testing and verification techniques for IC trust, assurance, or security.
• Experience with logical equivalence checkers (OneSpin 360‑EC, ESP, Conformal EC).
• Experience with formal ABV.

Benefits

• Best‑in‑class medical, dental, and vision plan choices.
• Wellness resources and employee assistance programs.
• 401(k) savings plan options, financial planning tools, life insurance.
