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 contribute to the team by utilizing 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. Experience in the cybersecurity, electronic warfare, encryption, radar, and/or satellite communications domains is a plus.
Full-Scope Poly required at the time of application

• Directed, constrained-random, and assertion-based verification techniques at the gate, interface, and transaction levels
• 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
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.
