How much do design verification engineer jobs pay per year?

As of May 29, 2026, the average yearly pay for design verification engineer in the United States is $149,150.00, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $136,000.00 and $166,000.00 per year, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is a Design Verification Engineer job?

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 key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Design Verification Engineer position, and why are they important?

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 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.

Job description

We're hiring experienced Design Verification Engineers from junior to senior levels to play a key role in developing and verifying the designs that will bring our next-generation AI processors to life.

About Us:
Mythic is building the future of AI computing with breakthrough analog technology that delivers 100 the performance of traditional digital systems at the same power and cost. This unlocks bigger, more capable models and faster, more responsive applications - whether in edge devices like drones, robotics, and sensors, or in cloud and data center environments. Our technology powers everything from large language models and CNNs to advanced signal processing, and is engineered to operate from -40 C to +125 C, making it ideal for industrial, automotive, aerospace, and defense.

We've raised over $100M from world-class investors including Softbank, Threshold Ventures, Lux Capital, and DCVC, and secured multi-million-dollar customer contracts across multiple markets.

The salary range for this position is $120,000-$225,000+ annually. Actual compensation depends on experience, skills, qualifications, and location.

Design Verification at Mythic:
At Mythic, our Design Verification (DV) team is central to ensuring the correctness and reliability of our custom dataflow architecture that is the backbone of our chip design. DV engineers collaborate with many teams, including RTL design, architecture modeling, custom analog IP, compiler, emulation and post-silicon to ensure the full system operates as intended. Because today's AI workloads are too large and intricate to be fully verified in hardware alone, our team takes creative and rigorous approaches-combining simulation, modeling, and innovative verification strategies-to prove that neural networks will function correctly and efficiently. We welcome engineers at all levels of experience who are eager to tackle challenging verification problems and contribute to the success of our breakthrough AI hardware.
Responsibilities
  • Hands on system-level and block-level verification.
  • Development of test plans and coverage plans.
  • Testbench development and execution using UVM or other advanced DV methodologies.
  • Creation of verification infrastructure and flows.
  • Leverage architecture models and emulation environments to help verify large AI network functionality on the design.
  • Further responsibilities will depend on background and skills.
Requirements
  • Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.
  • 3+ years of industry experience developing verification testbenches.
  • Knowledge of verification methodologies.
  • Knowledge of computer architecture.
  • Understanding of Verilog, SystemVerilog, and UVM.
  • Proven track record of first-pass silicon success.
  • Strong communication skills, both written and spoken.
At Mythic, we foster a collaborative and respectful environment where people can do their best work. We hire smart, capable individuals, provide the tools and support they need, and trust them to deliver. Our team brings a wide range of experiences and perspectives, which we see as a strength in solving hard problems together. We value professionalism, creativity, and integrity, and strive to make Mythic a place where every employee feels they belong and can contribute meaningfully.
