Desirable

• Radiant is seeking a Senior FPGA Verification Engineer to add to our Embedded Systems team
• You will lead verification of FPGAs used in reactor safety, control, and instrumentation systems, covering safety-critical applications, sensor and actuator handling, and communication systems
• This role requires close collaboration with RTL design engineers, hardware engineers, embedded software engineers, and test engineers in a cross-functional setting to ensure designs meet the rigorous demands of controlling and monitoring fission reactors
• You will be a key contributor in validating the first commercial reactor design in over 50 years
• 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
• Define and execute verification strategies for sensor processing, serial communication, and actuator handling logic
• Collaborate directly with RTL designers and embedded software engineers to identify design intent, resolve bugs, and ensure complete functional coverage
• Recommend new tools and practices to continuously improve the FPGA verification flow
• Contribute to RTL design work as needed
