Flight-Critical FPGA Verification Engineer (UVM/SoC)

Anduril; Costa Mesa (CA); On-site; USD 146,000 - 194,000; Full time

Job summary

Anduril Industries is seeking an FPGA Verification Engineer to own verification of FPGA/SoC designs on AMD (Xilinx) platforms for flight-critical avionics. You will apply UVM-based verification, create coverage-driven testbenches, and drive regression suites while collaborating with RTL teams.

The role requires DO-254 awareness and strong SystemVerilog/SVA skills. The position is based in Costa Mesa, CA, with on-site responsibilities and top-tier benefits.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 2+ years of experience in FPGA/ASIC verification.
• Proficient in SystemVerilog, UVM methodology and SVA, with experience contributing to and extending UVM testbenches.

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 SystemVerilog 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
