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

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
• 3-5+ years of experience in FPGA/ASIC verification
• Proficient in SystemVerilog, UVM methodology and SVA, with experience contributing to and extending UVM testbenches
• Object-oriented programming principles
• Industry simulators (Questa, VCS, Xcelium, or Vivado)
• Git-based collaborative workflows including code review
• Linux development environments
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• Eligible to obtain and hold a U.S. Secret security clearance
