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.

As a Senior FPGA Design Engineer you will develop FPGA designs for all major vendors and device families including: Xilinx, Altera, and Microsemi. Designs are implemented using VHDL for the following applications: gigabit serial interfaces, Radio Frequency (RF) and Electro-Optical (EO) DSP, controls, data links, embedded processing and processor interfaces.

Designers work with circuit card designers and systems engineers to develop requirements, architect new parts, collaborative modeling of algorithms, partition and perform code development, simulation, and place and route. Designs are verified against requirements using both directed test and constrained random methodologies. Design support is expected from requirements definition through integration and test. Design documentation and configuration management are required.
What You Will Do

  • Design and deliver production quality FPGA releases from initial proof of concept up to production

  • Architect FPGA-based systems to determine parts, interfaces, and Concept of Operations (CONOPS)

  • Translate system level requirements into FPGA requirements

  • Design and code in VHDL for reliability and maintainability

  • Verify designs utilizing self-checking techniques with directed and constrained random tests, while tracking functional and code coverage

  • Help drive projects and execute program schedules on time and budget

  • Create complete documentation including requirements, verification plan, and user’s guides

  • Lead small teams and mentor junior engineers

  • Support internal and external technical reviews


Qualifications You Must Have

  • Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 5 years of prior relevant experience

Experience with at least one of the following:

  • FPGA/ASIC design, including VHDL and/or Verilog coding or FPGA/ASIC verification using SystemVerilog coding  

  • Working with Xilinx or Microsemi devices and associated flow tools
