What is the difference between Freelance Design Verification Engineer vs Freelance Hardware Test Engineer?

AspectFreelance Design Verification Engineer

Freelance Design Verification Engineers focus on verifying that hardware designs meet specifications through simulation and testing, often working on FPGA, ASIC, or semiconductor projects. They typically hold certifications in digital design and verification tools, and work in industries like semiconductor, electronics, and tech startups. Freelance Hardware Test Engineers, on the other hand, primarily perform physical testing of hardware prototypes and products, focusing on functional and reliability testing in manufacturing environments. While both roles require technical expertise, verification engineers emphasize simulation and design validation, whereas test engineers focus on real-world hardware testing.

Description

Design Verification Engineer

Looking for new challenges?  Would you like the variety of a contract position along with long term stability and benefits? Correct Designs can give it all to you.

Correct Designs is currently seeking talented Verification Engineers with prior System Verilog UVM experience to work with our major clients both in Austin, TX, and nationwide. Opportunities span from projects in AI and Machine Learning, processor fabric subsystems, SOC/ASIC products for vision processing, aerospace FPGAs, medical electronics, RISC-V based SoC, ARM based peripherals, and mixed signal DSPs. Successful candidates for this role will support verification of advanced CPU/GPU based SOCs.  

Correct Designs is NOT the typical contracting, staff augmentation firm.  Our engineers have respected long term roles with generous hourly rates in excellent team environments.  A typical contract may last 3 years, although we have shorter and even longer term work available. We are well respected in the Design Verification community with clients always seeking new CDI engineers. If you need a few months off between contracts you can take that break and know there will be plenty of work available when you return.  If you like the stability of always working, simply move to the next contract with little time off. Correct Designs does provide health care and retirement plan benefits.

We are based in Austin, Texas with clients throughout the US.  There are opportunities for both in-person and remote work. 
Whether you are an experienced veteran looking for new challenges, or a talented engineer seeking to broaden your experience, we can offer exciting options for your career.  
Correct Designs uses E-Verify to confirm work status eligibility.
