What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Fpga Verification Engineer position, and why are they important?

To excel as an FPGA Verification Engineer, you need a solid background in digital design, hardware description languages (such as VHDL or Verilog), and verification methodologies, often backed by a degree in electrical or computer engineering. Familiarity with industry-standard EDA tools (like ModelSim, Questa, or Synopsys), scripting languages (such as Python or TCL), and knowledge of UVM methodology or similar certifications are highly beneficial. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective communication help you collaborate with design teams and debug complex issues. These competencies are essential for ensuring high-quality FPGA products and successful project delivery within competitive timelines.

What is an FPGA Verification Engineer job?

An FPGA Verification Engineer is responsible for validating and testing FPGA designs to ensure they function as intended. They develop and execute testbenches, create test cases, and use simulation tools to verify digital circuits. Their role involves working closely with FPGA designers to debug issues, optimize performance, and ensure compliance with design specifications. Proficiency in hardware description languages (HDL) like Verilog or VHDL, as well as verification methodologies like UVM, is essential.

What are some typical challenges FPGA Verification Engineers face on the job?

FPGA Verification Engineers often encounter the challenge of identifying and debugging complex timing issues, corner cases, and unexpected behavior in large designs. Given the intricate nature of modern FPGAs, thoroughly testing and validating every possible scenario can require strong analytical skills and persistence. The role typically involves close collaboration with hardware designers, requiring clear communication to resolve problems efficiently. Overcoming these challenges not only sharpens your technical expertise but also prepares you for advanced roles in design verification or systems engineering.

Job description

Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you've come to the right place!
E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.
We're intentional, we're unapologetically curious and we're 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.
We are hiring FPGA Verification Engineers to build and maintain the verification infrastructure for satellite avionics FPGA designs. You will develop UVM-based testbenches, create coverage-driven verification plans, and ensure RTL correctness for flight-critical FPGA firmware across multiple subsystems. This role is instrumental in establishing a rigorous verification methodology for the program.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Develop UVM-based verification environments including agents, scoreboards, and bit-accurate reference models.
  • Create and maintain a reusable, extendable UVM framework supporting multiple FPGA targets and device configurations.
  • Write verification plans derived from requirements specifications and architectural documents.
  • Develop functional coverage models and drive coverage closure for all FPGA designs.
  • Perform RTL simulation using industry-standard tools.
  • Implement clock-domain crossing verification and timing/stability analysis.
  • Apply lint and static-analysis tools to identify design issues early in the development cycle.
  • Support hardware bring-up by creating tests that model and recreate hardware interactions in simulation.
  • Document verification results, coverage metrics, and test plans with clear technical writing.
  • Collaborate with FPGA designers and system engineers to refine requirements and close verification gaps.

Required Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
  • 4+ years of experience in FPGA or ASIC verification.
  • Strong expertise in SystemVerilog and UVM-based verification methodology.
  • Experience building UVM agents, environments, and generating constrained-random stimulus.
  • Proficiency with at least one industry-standard RTL simulator.
  • Understanding of functional coverage techniques and coverage-driven verification.
  • Ability to read and understand PCB schematics and hardware interfaces for test development.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • Experience verifying designs for space, aerospace, or high-reliability applications.
  • Familiarity with formal verification tools.
  • Background in embedded software interaction with FPGA firmware.
  • Experience with continuous integration workflows for verification regressions.
  • Proficiency in Python, TCL, or shell scripting for test automation and infrastructure.
  • Exposure to DFMEA and high-reliability digital design review processes.

Tools & Technologies:
  • Industry-standard RTL simulators (e.g., VCS, QuestaSim, or equivalent)
  • UVM verification methodology
  • Lint and CDC analysis tools
  • Python/TCL scripting for automation
