Advanced ASIC FPGA Verification Engineer - Remote

As the Senior ASIC/FPGA Verification Engineer, you’ll be responsible for the definition, design, verification, and documentation of ASIC and FPGA developments. You will determine architecture, system simulation, and detailed design approaches; define module interfaces; develop test and simulation plans; verify results; analyze performance; and support projects throughout the ASIC/FPGA development life cycle.

You will work with ASIC/FPGA engineering concepts, design processes, simulation, and verification technologies while independently determining approaches to technical solutions. Responsibilities may also include reviewing vendor capabilities and simulation tools, improving organizational ASIC/FPGA processes, planning and executing project tasks, and providing technical direction to lower-level employees.

Education/Experience: Bachelor’s degree plus 5+ years of job-related experience, or Master’s degree plus 3+ years of job-related experience Schedule: Flexible schedule; 9/80 schedule with every other Friday off may be available Clearance Requirement: No clearance required, * Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related Science, Engineering, Technology, or Mathematics field, plus a minimum of 5 years of job-related experience, or a Master’s degree plus 3 years of job-related experience
