Your work will directly support critical equipment and aircraft demonstrations, enable advanced system features, and help prepare products for certification and market release.

Responsibilities
In the Senior FPGA Verification Engineer role, you will lead the FPGA integration and testing environment for multiple airborne systems, including test benches, simulation, continuous integration, timing and elemental analysis, and build processes. You will establish DO‑254‑compliant review and testing procedures, qualify key design and verification tools, and implement effective product verification strategies. Your efforts will be central to producing safe, reliable airborne electronic hardware at Reliable Robotics.

Basic Success Criteria
• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or comparable experience
• More than 5 years of professional electronics hardware development across the full lifecycle
• Proficiency in FPGA digital logic design using standard design, simulation, and synthesis tools
• Strong organizational and analytical skills

Preferred Success Criteria
• Advanced degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or related field
• Background in safety‑critical FPGA verification (DO‑254 level A/B or similar)
• Ability to thrive in a fast‑moving, iterative development environment
• Practical, results‑focused approach

FPGA engineers at Reliable Robotics work within a fully integrated technology stack that connects directly to aircraft‑level capabilities and requirements. They play a key role in shaping the foundation of the company’s long‑term technical roadmap, free from shifting business or customer demands. We welcome your expertise, drive, and enthusiasm—we’re excited to see the impact you will make.
