Level of Experience: Entry Level

This opportunity resides with Cyber & Electronic Warfare, a business group within HII’s Mission Technologies division. HII works within our nation’s intelligence and cyber operations communities to defend our interests in cyberspace.

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 contribute to the team by utilizing 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. Experience in the cybersecurity, electronic warfare, encryption, radar, and/or satellite communications domains is a plus.

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).

0 years experience with Bachelors in related field; or High School Diploma or equivalent and 4 years relevant experience.

Willingness to obtain a Top-Secret security clearance.

Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.

Experience with modern digital verification and modeling languages: SystemVerilog, SystemC, C/C++, Matlab, etc.

Directed, constrained-random, and assertion-based verification techniques at the gate, interface, and transaction levels.

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 Top Secret security clearance.

• Familiarity with testing and verification techniques for IC trust, assurance, or security.

• Experience with logical equivalence checkers (e.g., OneSpin 360-EC, ESP, Conformal EC).

• Experience with formal ABV.
