Space-Grade FPGA Verification Engineer

Medium; Saratoga (CA); On-site; USD 150,000 - 250,000; Full time

Job summary

E-Space is seeking an FPGA Verification Engineer to build and sustain our verification framework for satellite avionics. You will write UVM-based testbenches, develop coverage-driven plans, and ensure RTL correctness for flight-critical FPGA firmware across subsystems.

Join a high-stakes, space-focused team delivering hyper-scaled IoT solutions from LEO. Expect rigorous verification, collaboration with hardware engineers, and opportunities to influence mission-critical designs while advancing

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 4+ years of experience in FPGA or ASIC verification.
• Strong expertise in SystemVerilog and UVM-based verification methodology.
• Experience building UVM agents, environments, and constrained-random stimulus.
• Proficiency with RTL simulators such as VCS or QuestaSim.
• Understanding of functional coverage techniques and coverage-driven verification.
• Ability to read PCB schematics and hardware interfaces for test development.

Responsibilities

• Develop UVM-based verification environments including agents, scoreboards, and bit-accurate reference models.
• Create and maintain a reusable UVM framework supporting multiple FPGA targets and configurations.
• Write verification plans from requirements and architectural documents.
• Develop functional coverage models and drive coverage closure for all FPGA designs.
• Perform RTL simulation using industry-standard tools.
• Implement clock-domain crossing verification and timing analysis.
• Apply lint and static-analysis tools to catch issues early.
• Support hardware bring-up by creating tests that model hardware interactions in simulation.
• Document verification results, coverage metrics, and test plans clearly.
• Collaborate with FPGA designers to refine requirements and close verification gaps.
