• Works under minimal direction
• Develop, review, and execute requirements-based verification and validation procedures for FPGA and SoC-based hardware
• Perform on-target testing of FPGA designs using engineering and production-representative hardware
• Analyze system and hardware requirements and translate them into test objectives, test cases, procedures, and expected results
• Support FPGA and SoC design integration, hardware bring-up, and laboratory troubleshooting
• Configure test setups, instrumentation, cables, interfaces, loads, and support equipment required for on-target testing
• Verify digital interfaces and system functionality, identify anomalies, and support root-cause analysis
• Develop scripts and tools to automate test execution, data collection, analysis, and reporting
• Support testing of communication and control interfaces, which may include Ethernet, MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429, and other avionics or embedded-system interfaces
• Perform testing involving analog and mixed-signal inputs and outputs, as applicable to the product
• Document test methods, procedures, results, discrepancies, technical findings, and verification evidence
• Work with FPGA designers, verification engineers, systems engineers, hardware engineers, and program teams to resolve issues and maintain test progress
• Participate in test readiness reviews, peer reviews, design reviews, and technical interchange meetings
• Support regression testing and repeatability assessments following FPGA design updates or hardware changes
• Maintain configuration control of test scripts, test procedures, laboratory setups, and test data

Must have experience with:

• FPGA/SOC technologies, digital hardware, or embedded computing architectures in a hardware laboratory environment
• Developing and executing requirements-based verification or validation tests
• Troubleshooting digital hardware, FPGA-based systems, or embedded electronics
• Documenting test plans, test procedures, test results, discrepancies, and technical conclusions
• Avionics aircraft systems, aerospace, or other safety-critical engineering environments
• LabVIEW and/or MATLAB.
• C or C#
• Analog signals, signal integrity, or mixed-signal testing
• MIL-STD-1553
• ARINC 429
• LVDT, DDV, and/or SOV devices or interfaces
• Ethernet interfaces, including 10/100 Mbps and 1 Gbps implementations
• Developing automated laboratory test environments
• Requirements management, test management, defect tracking, and configuration management tools
• Terpreting schematics, interface control documents, timing diagrams, FPGA documentation, and hardware test specifications
• Supporting verification, qualification, acceptance, or production testing

Also:

• Basic Qualifications Required Skills and Experience
• Ability to interpret hardware, FPGA, interface, and system requirements and develop corresponding test procedures
• Ability to work effectively with multidisciplinary engineering teams
• Ability to communicate technical information clearly in written and verbal formats

Education & certifications

• A Bachelor of Science degree or higher from an accredited course of study in engineering, engineering technology, computer science, mathematics, physics, or a related technical field, or equivalent non-U.S. qualifications
• Master’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, or a related field
