DESCRIPTION
Amazon Leo is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world.
The Design Verification Engineer will be a member of the Avionics team, focusing on the design verification of the various electrical functions of high-performance communication systems.
You will ensure proper data collection, reviews, and demonstrate the system requirement verification.
In this role, you will be responsible for developing Test SW (Python scripts) to test proprietary hardware. These scripts will interact with standard lab test equipment, execute automated functional checkout tests, analyze pass/fail criteria, and generate comprehensive test reports.
You will be part of a multidisciplinary avionics design team and work closely with PCBA design engineers, harness engineers, FPGA and embedded SW developers as well as system and integration engineers.
This is a fast-paced, intellectually challenging opportunity to work with thought leaders in multiple technology areas. You’ll have relentlessly high standards for yourself and everyone you work with, and you’ll be constantly looking for ways to improve.
Key job responsibilities
We are looking for an engineer who combines superb technical and analytical capabilities with a demonstrated ability to get the right things done quickly and effectively.
Automated Functional Testing: Develop test sequences that can perform automated functional checkout tests on proprietary hardware to ensure reliability and performance.
Data Analysis: Implement algorithms to analyze test data, compare results against predefined pass/fail criteria, and provide insights into the hardware's performance.
Report Generation: Generate detailed test reports that summarize test results, including pass/fail status, and provide valuable information for the broader team.
In this role, you will conduct test readiness reviews and align with various stakeholders on data review activities
Expect to work with a team of top-notch engineers and influence overall test strategy by helping define system test requirements
You should be comfortable with a high degree of autonomy and relish the idea of solving problems that haven't been solved at scale before.
You are expected to maintain requirements traceability during testing and solve integration and test problems in real time.

What Employers Look For
The qualifications that appear most often in design verification engineer jobs.
- Bachelor's or master's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computer science
- Proficiency in SystemVerilog and UVM-based constrained-random testbench development
- Experience with functional coverage, assertion-based verification, and coverage closure
- Familiarity with industry EDA simulation tools such as VCS, Xcelium, or Questa
- Knowledge of common on-chip protocols including AXI, PCIe, USB, or DDR
- Experience with scripting languages such as Python or Perl for verification automation
Tips for Your Design Verification Engineer Job Search
Tailor your resume to the stack
Design verification roles split sharply between UVM, SystemVerilog, and formal tools like Jasper or OneSpin. Call out exactly which tools and methodologies you used on each project so hiring managers don't have to guess whether your experience matches their environment.
Quantify coverage closure results
Hiring managers expect to see what you actually closed, not just that you wrote testbenches. State the coverage metrics you hit, the bug counts you surfaced, or the regression turnaround times you improved so your impact is concrete and comparable.
Filter openings by protocol and domain
A PCIe verification role demands different expertise than a RISC-V or DDR5 one. Narrow your search by the protocol or IP domain you know best so you apply to roles where your background is an immediate fit rather than a partial match.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists design verification engineer openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare a debug walkthrough for interviews
Most design verification engineer interviews include a live or whiteboard debug scenario. Practice walking through a failing assertion or unexpected simulation waveform out loud, explaining your reasoning at each step, not just the final answer.
Negotiate around tape-out calendar timing
Design verification teams ramp hiring before tape-out and slow it after. If an offer arrives late in a project cycle, ask about the next phase roadmap and whether the role is sustaining or greenfield, since it directly affects your scope and growth.
Design Verification Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most design verification engineers?
Apple, Google, and Marvell Technology are hiring the most design verification engineers right now, with openings concentrated in California, Texas, and Massachusetts, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Semiconductor IP companies and fabless chip designers tend to post the highest volumes consistently.
How many design verification engineer jobs are remote?
About 37% of design verification engineer openings are fully remote or hybrid as of August 2026, though fully on-site roles remain common at defense contractors and companies with strict IP security requirements. Roles focused on simulation, testbench development, and formal verification tend to have more remote flexibility than positions requiring lab access or hardware bring-up support.
How do you become a design verification engineer?
Start with a degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computer science, then build hands-on skills in SystemVerilog and UVM through coursework, open-source projects, or internships. Learn at least one major EDA simulator and practice writing constrained-random tests with functional coverage. Internship experience at a semiconductor company, even in a related role, is one of the most effective ways to break into full verification positions.
How do you get hired as a design verification engineer with little experience?
Focus on building a public or shareable verification project using an open-source RISC-V core or similar RTL design, and document your UVM environment, coverage plan, and bug findings. Entry-level roles at smaller fabless startups or EDA tool vendors are often more accessible than positions at large chipmakers. Targeting companies that run structured graduate programs in verification also improves your odds significantly at the early-career stage.
What does the design verification engineer interview process look like?
The process typically starts with a recruiter screen followed by a technical phone interview covering SystemVerilog constructs, UVM architecture, and basic digital design concepts. A take-home or virtual coding exercise involving testbench development or assertion writing is common at the midpoint. Final rounds usually include a loop of technical interviews with engineers covering debug scenarios, coverage methodology, and protocol knowledge, plus a hiring manager conversation on project experience and team fit.
Where can I find and apply to design verification engineer jobs?
You can find and apply to design verification engineer jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Find the roles that match your experience and the protocols or domains you know, then apply directly to each listing that fits.
