Job Description
Do you enjoy challenging digital design verification problems? HII Mission Technologies is seeking out-of-the-box thinkers who can uncover difficult-to-activate corner-case bugs and vulnerabilities in the gate-level netlists of FPGA and ASIC designs.
Candidates for this position will help lead teams of digital designers to utilize industry-standard functional verification tools (e.g., Questa, VCS, Verdi), logical equivalence tools (e.g., OneSpin 360EC), and proprietary software tools to verify design function and integrity. Common verification targets include embedded processors, DSPs, filters, transceivers, data links, systems-on-chip, and decoders. Candidates will be expected to utilize experience in the cybersecurity, electronic warfare, encryption, radar, and/or satellite communications domains to provide perspective on design verification approaches.
Essential Job Responsibilities
Candidates will develop models, transactors, stimuli, monitors, and test benches for simulating and uncovering hidden behaviors in gate-level digital netlists. Candidates will be expected to produce clear documentation and test cases demonstrating identified bugs or deviations from the specification. Effective collaboration with teammates to produce cohesive results and create improved processes is required.
Candidates must be U.S. citizens and be willing and able to obtain a DoD security clearance (if not already cleared).

• Experience with modern, commercial-grade, functional simulators (e.g., Xcelium, Incisive, Questa, VCS, Riviera-Pro, etc.)
• Writing scripts for batched verification tasks: Python, Bash, Tcl, make files.
• Revision control systems for maintaining, sharing, and deploying code: Perforce, git, SVN, etc.
• Familiarity with debugging and isolating issues with gate-level netlists
Preferred Requirements
• Familiarity with object-oriented, embedded, assembly, or machine code programming
• Software or hardware reverse-engineering (e.g., IDA Pro, Ghidra)
• FPGA design or verification
• Active Secret or Top Secret security clearance
