• Work cooperatively with systems, hardware, software engineers, and program management to ensure product success.
• Support internal and external technical reviews.

Qualifications

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 8 years of prior relevant experience in digital design verification.
• Strong proficiency in SystemVerilog for both design and verification (interfaces, clocking blocks, assertions).
• Hands‑on experience building UVM‑based testbenches from scratch, including environment, agent, scoreboard, and coverage components.
• Solid understanding of constrained‑random verification and functional coverage methodology.
• Familiarity with AXI, PCIe, Ethernet, DDR protocols.
• Experience with industry‑standard simulators (e.g., Questa, VCS, Xcelium).
• Experience with regression management and debugging of complex, intermittent failures.
• Ability to develop and maintain verification plans tied to design specifications and coverage closure criteria.
• Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git, ClearCase, SVN) in a team‑based development environment.
• Proficiency with Git, branching strategies, pull requests, and collaborative workflows.
• Experience with UVMF (UVM Framework) for structured, reusable testbench development.
• Familiarity with Vivado and Quartus FPGA simulation flows.
• Experience with scripting languages (Python, Tcl, Perl) for test automation and tooling.
• Experience designing FPGAs using VHDL.
• Familiarity with SLURM workload manager for job scheduling and compute cluster resource management.
• Prior experience mentoring junior verification engineers.
• Existing DoD security clearance.

Benefits

• Salary range: 107,500 USD – 204,500 USD.
