Verification Researcher information

What is a verification researcher?

A Verification Researcher is responsible for developing and applying formal methods, mathematical proofs, and automated verification techniques to ensure the correctness of hardware or software systems. They work on verifying algorithms, protocols, or complex designs to detect errors before implementation. This role often involves using formal verification tools, model checking, and theorem proving. Verification Researchers collaborate with engineers and developers to improve system reliability and security. Their work is crucial in industries like semiconductor design, cybersecurity, and safety-critical systems such as automotive or aerospace.

What are the typical daily responsibilities of a verification researcher?

As a Verification Researcher, your daily tasks usually include designing and executing tests or experiments, reviewing documentation, analyzing results to identify inconsistencies or errors, and reporting findings to development or engineering teams. You may also participate in meetings to refine verification strategies, collaborate closely with product designers, and help establish best practices for quality assurance. The role often involves using specialized software tools and keeping up with evolving verification methodologies. This variety ensures you stay engaged and continuously contribute to the improvement of products or systems. You'll have opportunities to grow your expertise in testing and validation while making a meaningful impact on your organization's reliability standards.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the verification researcher position, and why are they important?

To excel as a Verification Researcher, you should possess strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and a relevant degree such as in engineering, computer science, or a related field. Familiarity with verification tools and methodologies (such as formal verification software, simulation environments, or industry certifications like ISTQB) is often required. Excellent communication, critical thinking, and collaboration abilities help you work effectively within multidisciplinary teams. These competencies are essential for ensuring the accuracy, reliability, and compliance of products or systems being verified.

In this position, you provide technical leadership for the verification of FPGA-based hardware solutions for products and platforms. This role contributes to product development by establishing FPGA verification methodologies, resolving complex engineering challenges, and advancing FPGA solutions that improve product performance, reliability, and mission success.

JOB DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Lead complex FPGA verification, debugging, and qualification activities supporting product development.
  • Evaluate simulation results and engineering risks while directing solutions that improve product performance and reliability.
  • Validate FPGA designs through verification planning, qualification testing, failure analysis, root cause investigations, and engineering change implementation.
  • Develop verification plans, and verification review packages supporting engineering decisions.
  • Support customer meetings, design reviews, technical discussions, hardware integration, and product development activities by providing FPGA engineering guidance.
  • Evaluate FPGA, verification methods and technical requirements to identify improvements.
  • Drive initiatives that enhance FPGA performance, engineering efficiency, product reliability, design quality, and long-term maintainability.
JOB REQUIREMENTS AND MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
  • A Bachelor of Science (BS) or Master of Science (MS) degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering from an accredited university or institution.
  • 8 years of industry or university research experience in the design, analysis, and implementation of FPGA systems at the HDL level. 
  • Extensive knowledge of digital logic design, FPGA architecture, hardware description languages (HDL), and digital systems.
  • Considerable proficiency developing FPGA verification environments for complex products.
  • Thorough understanding of FPGA verification methodologies, timing closure, embedded systems, and high-speed interfaces.
  • Working knowledge of the UVM Framework (UVMF), including developing reusable testbenches, verification components, and automated test environments.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite including Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Teams.
  • FPGA development, simulation, and synthesis tools, e.g. Vivado, Quartus Prime, ModelSim, QuestaSim, or equivalent applications.
  • Engineering analysis, version control, and collaboration tools, e.g. MATLAB, Git, Jira, Windchill, or equivalent applications.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE
  • Experience with worst-case analysis, failure method and criticality analyses, and reliability analysis.
  • Familiarity with digital communications and digital signal processing.
  • Experience with board-level hardware design.
  • Demonstrated ability to work efficiently with a distributed team.
  • Proficiency with git source code control.
  • Experience developing firmware using agile flows.
