CesiumAstro develops advanced communication systems for satellites, UAVs, launch vehicles, and other space and airborne platforms. We are seeking an FPGA Verification Engineer II to join our dynamic engineering team in Westminster, Colorado.
In this role, you will contribute to the evaluation and technical implementation of FPGA and digital design simulation, verification, and emulation infrastructure. You will develop state-of-the-art UVMf-based testbenches at both module and top-level using SystemVerilog, DPI-C integration with MATLAB and Python numerical models, and reusable VIP (Verification IP) modules. You will lead the development of custom VIP modules and work closely with engineering and senior leadership to train and mentor engineers across experience levels on modern FPGA/digital design verification approaches.
Key responsibilities include maintaining and deploying continuous integration and regression testing infrastructure, evaluating Xilinx TLM models and QEMU-RP integration, working with vendors to define simulation model requirements, and staying current with industry best practices. You will collaborate with modeling and scientific staff to implement DPI-C dataplane verification interfaces and partner with engineering leadership to evaluate and implement process improvements.
This is a hands-on role in a startup environment where you will have significant autonomy and the opportunity to shape verification methodologies for cutting-edge phased array systems.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Bachelor of Science (BS) or Master of Science (MS) in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Engineering
- Minimum 2 years of industry experience in verification and automation
- Strong knowledge of FPGA digital design verification techniques: VHDL, Verilog, SystemVerilog, C/C++, SystemC, UVM/UVMf, DPI-C, TLM, Formal CDC and functional analysis, QEMU, and VIP
- Understanding of digital design automation infrastructure including CI, regression testing, and HIL testing
- Competency with Linux
- Knowledge of vendor-provided FPGA development tools, with focus on Xilinx tools
Note: Applicant must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, conditional resident, asylee, or refugee, or eligible to obtain required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State due to space technology export regulations.
