Senior FPGA Engineer, Verification
About The Position
Radiant is seeking a Senior FPGA Verification Engineer to join our Embedded Systems team. This role will lead the verification of FPGAs used in reactor safety, control, and instrumentation systems, focusing on safety-critical applications, sensor and actuator handling, and communication systems. The position requires close collaboration with RTL design engineers, hardware engineers, embedded software engineers, and test engineers in a cross-functional setting to ensure designs meet the rigorous demands of controlling and monitoring fission reactors. The successful candidate will be a key contributor in validating the first commercial reactor design in over 50 years.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in computer engineering, electrical engineering, or a related field.
- 7+ years of FPGA verification experience with significant depth in functional verification.
- Expert proficiency in SystemVerilog and UVM-based verification methodologies.
- Strong understanding of FPGA verification flows — simulation, coverage analysis, and regression management.
- Experience verifying multi-clock domain designs.
- Familiarity with serial communication protocols such as UART, SPI, and I2C.
- Familiarity with Ethernet as well as AXIS and APB buses.
Nice To Haves
- Experience with the Microchip PolarFire SoC platform.
- Experience with JASPER or similar verification tool.
- Proficiency with Linux and TCL/bash shell scripting.
- Excellent documentation skills and demonstrated ability to work in multidisciplinary engineering environments.
Responsibilities
- Lead verification efforts for FPGA designs using SystemVerilog and UVM/OVM frameworks, from test plan development through coverage closure.
- Develop and maintain automated verification testbenches for functional, regression, constrained-random, and edge-case coverage.
- Define and execute verification strategies for sensor processing, serial communication, and actuator handling logic.
- Collaborate directly with RTL designers and embedded software engineers to identify design intent, resolve bugs, and ensure complete functional coverage.
- Recommend new tools and practices to continuously improve the FPGA verification flow.
- Contribute to RTL design work as needed.
