Embedded Systems Engineer

About the role

HII Mission Technologies is seeking out-of-the-box thinkers who can uncover difficult-to-activate corner-case bugs and vulnerabilities in the gate-level netlists of FPGA and ASIC designs. Candidates will develop models, transactors, stimuli, monitors, and test benches for simulating and uncovering hidden behaviors in gate-level digital netlists. They will produce clear documentation and test cases demonstrating identified bugs or deviations from the specification. Collaboration with teammates to produce cohesive results and create improved processes is essential.
