What skills and qualifications are needed to be a design verification engineer?

Design Verification Engineers require a solid background in digital design concepts, computer engineering, and electrical engineering, usually supported by a relevant bachelor’s or master’s degree. Expertise with hardware description languages like Verilog or VHDL, simulation tools, and familiarity with Unix/Linux environments are typical technical requirements, with certifications in FPGA/ASIC design considered advantageous. Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving skills, teamwork, and effective communication help these engineers collaborate closely with design, validation, and development teams. These competencies are vital to ensuring design correctness, catching flaws early, and driving efficient, reliable hardware development.

What is a design verification engineer?

A Design Verification Engineer ensures that hardware designs function correctly by developing and executing test plans, writing verification code (often in SystemVerilog with UVM), and debugging design issues. They work closely with design and validation teams to confirm specifications are met before manufacturing. Their role is critical in preventing costly design flaws and ensuring high-quality semiconductor products.

What are the most common challenges faced by design verification engineers in their daily work?

Design Verification Engineers often face the challenge of thoroughly validating complex digital designs within tight project deadlines. Debugging intricate issues, dealing with evolving specifications, and ensuring complete coverage during simulation can require a great deal of attention to detail and persistence. Collaboration with designers, validation teams, and often cross-functional groups is critical to resolving ambiguities and preventing errors from reaching production. Adapting to new verification methodologies or tools is also common as technologies and standards advance. These challenges offer valuable learning opportunities and play a crucial role in producing robust, high-quality hardware products.

The Harley-Davidson Motor Company Product Development Center (PDC) located in Wauwatosa, WI is home to the mantra – You dream it. We build it. Join our team as a  Staff Electrical Engineer - Verification, Standards & Component Development.

Job Summary

The Staff Electrical Systems Engineer is a hands-on technical leader responsible for driving the successful development, validation, and launch of electrical and electronic components across Harley-Davidson's motorcycle portfolio. This role combines deep knowledge of circuit design, PCBA development, EMC/ENV/EE requirements, and vehicle-level systems (e.g., grounding strategies) with strong ownership for delivering robust, production-ready designs.

The ideal candidate thrives on solving complex problems, bringing technical issues to closure, and mentoring engineers while moving work forward.

Job Responsibilities

Technical Ownership & Execution

  • Develop, publish, and maintain Harley-Davidson Engineering Guidelines for Environmental (ENV), Electrical (EE), and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) domains.
  • Lead and contribute to DFMEAs, ensuring risks are identified and mitigated through robust Design Verification Plans and Reports (DVP&R).
  • Review and approve test plans and procedures for component-level, subsystem-level, and vehicle-level electrical testing.  Partner with design engineers on best practices for test development.
  • Drive completion of Verification & Validation (V&V) activities for electrical/electronic components; ensure timely test execution, analyze results, and close findings with clear, data-driven recommendations.
  • Resolve complex technical issues by applying structured problem-solving techniques (8D, Ishikawa, fault isolation, etc.) and coordinating cross-functional engineering and test resources.
  • Steward grounding, shielding, power distribution, and other vehicle level EE strategies, ensuring component designs integrate cleanly into HD architectures.
  • Mentor engineers on best practices for circuit design, PCBA layout, design-for-manufacturing, and design-for-reliability.
  • Partner with suppliers to investigate failures, drive root cause analysis, and validate corrective actions in both prototype and production phases.
  • Ensure supplier designs meet Harley-Davidson standards, validating schematics, PCB layouts, DFMEAs, and test coverage.
  • Collaborate with Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Software, and Validation teams to ensure complete, integrated design solutions.
  • Champion continuous improvement in test methods, design guidelines, and development processes across the organization.
  • Support program milestones by providing clear status updates, risk assessments, and technical recommendations that keep programs on track.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's Degree Required
Education Specifications
