• Analyzing test results, time histories, and anomalies
• Revising and reworking test scripts and test procedures to create a quality product for review
• Operating using Azure DevOps (ADO) and git within an integrated, iterative development environment and responding rapidly to evolving requirements
• Participating in peer reviews as needed and supporting comment resolution in close coordination with the reviewer for checklist closure
• Updating Azure DevOps git repository with test scripts, procedures, and test results artifacts consistently and according to process
• Working traceability updates within DOORs
• Working with test facility personnel as tests are executed on the test bench and issues are found
• Working in close coordination, when necessary, with the Software Development team to maintain alignment with evolving builds, requirements, and integration schedules
• Coordinating with design engineers and SMEs to validate expected behavior and ensure coverage.

Software Verification Engineer

Mechanical Engineer

• Develop and support FPGA designs using VHDL for safety-critical aerospace applications.
• Implement and modify RTL designs supporting communication protocols, memory interfaces, data management, processor interfaces, and related digital functions.
• Perform FPGA design activities including simulation, synthesis, place and route support, timing closure, pin-out definition, and design constraint development.
• Troubleshoot RTL design issues using simulation environments, debug tools, and structured root cause analysis.
• Support I/O timing analysis and resolve timing-related design challenges.
• Develop and maintain DO-254 related documentation, including requirements, design descriptions, design specifications, traceability documentation, and supporting verification artifacts.
• Collaborate with systems, hardware, verification, and project engineering teams to ensure design intent, requirements, and implementation remain aligned.

FPGA Design Engineer

• Perform structural and mechanical integrity analysis for gas turbine engine components and systems.
• Use finite element analysis (FEA) and hand calculations to support design decisions, technical substantiation, and customer requirements.
• Evaluate component durability, strength, low-cycle fatigue, fatigue life, and fracture mechanics considerations.
• Build, modify, and analyze models using CAE tools such as ANSYS Classic, ANSYS Workbench, Siemens Simcenter, Nastran/Patran, and ABAQUS.
• Support geometry and mesh preparation for analysis activities, including working with Siemens Simcenter and Siemens NX when needed.
• Review analysis results, identify risks or areas of concern, and provide clear technical recommendations.
• Participate in technical reviews, program reviews, and customer discussions to communicate analysis findings and support engineering decisions.
• Collaborate with internal engineering teams, customer stakeholders, and cross-functional groups to solve complex structural/mechanical challenges.
• Document analysis plans, assumptions, methods, results, and conclusions in accordance with customer and program requirements.
• Prepare technical reports and presentations that clearly communicate findings, substantiation, and next steps.
• Manage multiple tasks and deadlines while supporting changing program priorities.
