Join Radiant, a pioneering company in the nuclear energy sector. As a Senior FPGA Verification Engineer, you will lead the verification of FPGAs used in reactor safety, control, and instrumentation systems. This role requires close collaboration with various engineering teams and offers the opportunity to contribute to the first commercial reactor design in over 50 years. You will be responsible for developing and maintaining automated verification testbenches, defining and executing verification strategies, and recommending new tools and practices to improve the FPGA verification flow.

Must work 100% onsite at El Segundo headquarters

Must be willing to work extended hours and weekends as necessary to accomplish our mission

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.
  • Collaborate directly with RTL designers and embedded software engineers to identify design intent, resolve bugs, and ensure complete functional coverage.

Experience verifying multi-clock domain designs

  • Strong understanding of FPGA verification flows — simulation, coverage analysis, and regression management
  • Expert proficiency in SystemVerilog and UVM-based verification methodologies

Requirements

  • Familiarity with Ethernet as well as AXIS and APB buses
  • Familiarity with serial communication protocols such as UART, SPI, and I2C
  • 7+ years of FPGA verification experience with significant depth in functional verification
  • Bachelor's degree in computer engineering, electrical engineering, or a related field
  • Experience with JASPER or similar verification tool
  • Experience with the Microchip PolarFire SoC platform
  • Proficiency with Linux and TCL/bash shell scripting
  • Excellent documentation skills and demonstrated ability to work in multidisciplinary engineering environments
