Job Description

Job Description:

Kronos has a long history of avionics engineering working with some of the largest aircraft integrators in the world. We always provide our partners with 100% customer satisfaction and on-time delivery. If you are excited about working for a company that takes its job seriously and does not cut corners you will have a home with Kronos.

 

Seeking for multiple ASIC/FPGA Verification Engineers to join us as part of our Boeing Electronic Products team in either El Segundo or Huntington Beach, CA

From complex digitally beamformed phased arrays for constellation satellite programs to computing and networking equipment for commercial airplanes, the Boeing Electronic Products group develops ASICs and FPGAs that are at the heart of Boeing’s products!

We leverage leading-edge technology and work with world-class partners to provide some of the most complex SoCs in the world. We develop robust, high-performance custom processors using the latest ARM IP to enable high-integrity, low SWAP-C flight computers. And we're applying the latest digital IC design processes with industry-best tools to enable applications that cut across every domain at Boeing.

Our diverse development portfolio provides opportunities to learn with exposure to the breadth of the Boeing product line – approximately half our design/verification work is within the Space & Launch business unit, and half is from other parts of Boeing (AvionX; Missiles & Weapons; Strike, Surveillance and Mobility; and Autonomous Systems).

As an ASIC/FPGA Verification Engineer on the Electronic Products team you will develop state-of-the-art digital ICs/SoCs to support the most critical programs across the enterprise. We collaborate with other electronics groups across the company and around the world and support ASIC/FPGA design and verification for electronics that we build in El Segundo and for units designed at other sites.

Position Responsibilities:
• Design and implement an ASIC/FPGA verification environment utilizing UVM & System Verilog.
• Develop self-checking and reusable test benches from the ground up, employing Object-Oriented Programming principles such as Inheritance and Polymorphism, while utilizing UVM to build drivers, monitors, predictors, and scoreboards.
• Create Functional Coverage Models and conduct Code Coverage analysis to ensure thorough verification of designs during simulation.
• Set up regression tests and collect coverage metrics to ensure comprehensive verification and track progress over time.
• Assist in FPGA-based prototyping and validation based on program and system requirements and complexity.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure that verification strategies align with overall project goals and timelines.

Required Skills:
• A Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering (specializing in Electrical, Mechanical, or Aeronautical), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, or equivalent non-US qualifications relevant to the job description
• Proven experience in ASIC/FPGA verification processes
• Familiarity with defining the architectural framework for ASIC/FPGA verification using SystemVerilog/UVM, including the delivery and release of production designs
• Proficiency in hardware verification languages, particularly SystemVerilog and SystemVerilog Assertions
• Demonstrated experience in implementing test plans effectively
• Solid understanding of Object-Oriented Programming principles, such as Inheritance and Polymorphism
• Capability to design self-checking and reusable testbenches from the ground up
• Experience in developing Functional Coverage Models and achieving Code Coverage closure
• Capable of collaborating with design and system engineering to establish accurate and verifiable ASIC/FPGA level specifications
• Familiarity with waveform debug tools
• Revision Control Systems: svn, cvs, git
• Proficient in Linux Environments

Preferred Skills:
• 10+ years of related work experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience
• Master's Degree in EE, Computer Engineering/Science, or related field, or equivalent experience
• Experience with hardware-based integration and test of ASIC/FPGA designs
• Experience with hardware emulators, especially Palladium
• Experience with high-speed Serdes interfaces (JESD204C, PCIe, Ethernet)
• Proficient in scripting languages: Make, Perl, Python, etc.
• Familiarity with space-based design techniques and radiation mitigation
• Demonstrated history of 1st pass success with ASIC designs Company Description
