ASIC/FGPA Verification Engineer

Location: Hybrid, Austin, TX (3 days onsite each week)

An innovative leader in cybersecurity solutions is growing its next-generation silicon and FPGA programs and is looking for an ASIC/FPGA Verification Engineer to help validate and optimize high-performance hardware systems for accuracy, reliability, and durability.

In the role of ASIC/FPGA Verification Engineer, you will lead the development and implementation of comprehensive verification plans for complex, large-scale FPGA architectures. You will develop structured verification environments, guide validation efforts through completion, and partner with cross-functional engineering teams to support successful hardware launches.

Key Responsibilities

• Create and support verification environments for advanced FPGA platforms designed to handle intensive data operations.
• Architect reusable, modular verification components using advanced SystemVerilog and object-oriented programming techniques.
• Create directed and constrained random stimulus to validate functional correctness and corner case behavior.
• Implement drivers, monitors, scoreboards, assertions, and coverage models to ensure comprehensive validation.
• Evaluate coverage data to inform validation progress and strengthen overall design quality.
• Debug failing simulations, recreate issues, and perform root cause analysis across RTL and verification environments.
• Partner with design engineers to define and refine verification plans, test strategies, and quality benchmarks.
• Continuously enhance verification methodology, tooling, automation, and reporting processes.
• Leverage modern scripting and automation tools to streamline regression and productivity workflows.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline.
• At least seven years of experience validating FPGA or ASIC designs utilizing UVM frameworks.
• Extensive proficiency in SystemVerilog, object-oriented design principles, and building adaptable verification infrastructures.
• Hands-on experience establishing UVM-based verification structures and guiding comprehensive test planning initiatives.
• Hands on experience with industry standard simulation and debug tools.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to work effectively in cross functional teams.
• Exposure to scripting tools that support automation and improve overall testing efficiency.

Preferred Experience

• Working knowledge of industry-standard high-bandwidth communication protocols and comparable interface technologies.
• Exposure to networking protocols including Ethernet, IP, TCP, or UDP.
• Experience integrating third party verification IP into UVM environments.
• Background supporting AI or machine learning related hardware acceleration is a plus.

Benefits

The organization offers a competitive compensation package, performance-based incentives, comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, retirement plan with company match, paid time off, and professional development support.
