Job Description

Do you enjoy challenging digital design verification problems? 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 for this position will help lead teams of digital designers to utilize industry-standard functional verification tools (e.g., Questa, VCS, Verdi), logical equivalence tools (e.g., OneSpin 360EC), and proprietary software tools to verify design function and integrity. Common verification targets include embedded processors, DSPs, filters, transceivers, data links, systems-on-chip, and decoders. Candidates will be expected to utilize experience in the cybersecurity, electronic warfare, encryption, radar, and/or satellite communications domains to provide perspective on design verification approaches.

Essential Job Responsibilities

  • Develop models, transactors, stimuli, monitors, and test benches for simulating and uncovering hidden behaviors in gate-level digital netlists.
  • Produce clear documentation and test cases demonstrating identified bugs or deviations from the specification.
  • Effective collaboration with teammates to produce cohesive results and create improved processes is required.
  • Candidates must be U.S. citizens and be willing and able to maintain DoD Security Clearance

Minimum Qualifications

  • 9 years relevant experience with Bachelors in related field; 7 years relevant experience with Masters in related field; or High School Diploma or equivalent and 13 years relevant experience.
  • US Citizenship
  • Must possess an active TS/SCI with Full Scope Poly at the time of consideration
  • Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
  • Experience with modern digital verification and modeling languages: SystemVerilog, SystemC, C/C++, Matlab, etc.
  • UVM concepts
  • Directed, constrained-random, and assertion-based verification (ABV) techniques at the gate, interface, and transaction levels, including SVA
  • Experience with modern, commercial-grade, functional simulators (e.g., Xcelium, Incisive, Questa, VCS, Riviera-Pro, etc.)
  • Writing scripts for batched verification tasks: Python, Bash, Tcl, make files.
  • Revision control systems for maintaining, sharing, and deploying code: Perforce, git, SVN, etc.
  • Familiarity with debugging and isolating issues with gate-level netlists

Preferred Requirements

  • Familiarity with object-oriented, embedded, assembly, or machine code programming
  • Software or hardware reverse-engineering (e.g., IDA Pro, Ghidra)
  • FPGA design or verification
  • Familiarity with testing and verification techniques for IC trust, assurance, or security
  • Experience with logical equivalence checkers (e.g., OneSpin 360-EC, ESP, Conformal EC)
  • Experience with formal ABV
  • Embedded Software Design for Wireless Radio
  • Design of Digital Wireless Communications Systems
  • Experience with DSPs for RF Communications
  • Experience with Wifi, Cellular, Satellite, or Handheld communications

Physical Requirements

May require working in an office, industrial, shipboard, or laboratory environment. Capable of climbing ladders and tolerating confined spaces and extreme temperature variances.

Salary Range

The listed salary range for this role is intended as a good faith estimate based on the role's location, expectations, and responsibilities. When extending an offer, HII's Mission Technologies division takes a variety of factors into consideration which include, but are not limited to, the role's function and a candidate's education or training, work experience, and key skills.
