Job Details

New ideas are all around us, but only a few will change the world. That’s our focus at JPL. We ask the biggest questions, then search the universe for answers—literally. We build upon ideas that have guided generations, then share our discoveries to inspire generations to come. Your mission—your opportunity—is to seek out the answers that bring us one step closer. If you’re driven to discover, create, and inspire something that lasts a lifetime and beyond, you’re ready for JPL.

Located in Pasadena, California, JPL has a campus-like environment situated on 177 acres in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains and offers a work environment unlike any other: we inspire passion, foster innovation, build collaboration, and reward excellence.

The Radar Science and Engineering Section in the Communications, Tracking, and Radar Division conducts research, development, and flight missions in the field of airborne and spaceborne remote sensing radar for NASA and other government agencies. This section specializes in systems and techniques related to synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging, radar interferometry, altimetry, Earth and planetary subsurface sounders, scatterometry, and cloud and precipitation radars. The section is also a leader in the area of planetary landing radars. Our radar program focuses on Earth and planetary science missions, with emphasis on first-of-a-kind radar systems and cutting-edge technology.

We invite you to join the Radar Science and Engineering Section (334) . You will report to the Radar Section Management Team and the Group Supervisor of the Radar Digital Electronics Group . We are seeking a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) Verification Engineer IV , responsible for the verification of the digital subsystems for spaceborne and airborne Radar Systems.

The Radar Section is currently developing synthetic aperture radars (SARs) for two missions headed to Venus: the VISAR instrument for the NASA VERITAS mission, and the VenSAR instrument for the European Space Agency EnVision mission, as well as multi-platform airborne systems operated from aircraft and drones to advance formulation and technology development tasks in support of mission concepts including Surface Topography and Vegetation (STV), Surface Deformation and Change (SDC) as defined in the last Earth Science “Decadal Survey” by the National Academy of Sciences. The section is also currently developing real aperture radars for spaceborne and airborne observation of clouds and precipitation, ocean winds and currents, subsurface sounding, ocean altimetry and other applications for Earth and Planetary science. The radars for planetary spaceborne missions use radiation-hardened (e.g., Xilinx Virtex-5QV) and radiation-tolerant (e.g., Xilinx Kintex UltraScale) FPGAs. Technology development efforts use Xilinx Versal devices, and the Microchip High-Performance Spaceflight Computer (HPSC), Polarfire, ProASIC3, and RTAX.

What You Will Do

• Provide a robust verification and validation environment for FPGA-based control and signal processing systems.

• Work with FPGA designers, system engineers, and software engineers.

• Develop verification plans based on design specification and requirements.

• Develop verification environments using scalable, maintainable, and reusable methodologies.

• Develop test plans, test benches and tests/sequences, creating sequencers, drivers, checkers, monitors, and predictors/scoreboards in a Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) environment using UVM Framework (UVMF).

• Plan and implement a coverage-driven constrained-random verification methodology aligned to the test plan.

• Apply formal methods to supplement simulation-based verification.

• Systematically analyze, track and resolve design bugs and improvement required.

• Develop maintainable and robust regression system.

• Develop automated methods for tracking and reporting verification progress, including the identification and management of bugs and issues.

• Plan and schedule assigned projects for timely completion.

Requirements

• Requires a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or related discipline with a minimum of 9 years of related experience; or Master’s degree in a related discipline and a minimum of 7 years of related experience; or PhD in a related discipline with a minimum of 5 years of related experience.

• Demonstrated extensive experience and skill with the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM).

• Ability to develop test plans of complex systems containing multiple FPGAs and protocols.

• Extensive experience in developing sequences using constrained random methodology.

• Experience with coverage driven methodology using cover groups, cover directives, assertions of SystemVerilog.

• Experience with building a complete test bench infrastructure that support the test plan.

• Extensive experience with formal tools, including linting, CDC/RDC analysis, and other static verification tools.

• Experience in end-to-end verification, encompassing the entire process from concept to tape-out.

• Effective communication skills, both written and verbal.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with formal and physical analysis tools (i.e, Siemens CDC/RDC/AutoCheck/PropCheck/CoverCheck/Questa Lint )

• Source control and bug tracking system knowledge (Git, Jira, etc.).

• Scripting languages (Perl, Python, bash scripts).

• Experience with continuous integration and CI tools (i.e., Jenkins or Bamboo).

• Experience leading teams.

• Ability to work on multiple projects in parallel.
