Job Title: Design Verification Engineer – ASIC/SoC
Job Responsibility: Support the functional verification of Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) and Systems-on-Chip (SoCs). Perform moderately complex verification assignments using established methodologies under general supervision. Senior verification engineers review test plans, significant technical changes, and completed results.
Responsibilities
- Review design specifications and implement assigned portions of block-level, subsystem, and full-chip verification plans.
- Develop and modify System Verilog testbenches, test sequences, checkers, and functional coverage models within existing Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) environments.
- Create directed and constrained-random tests to validate assigned design features, interfaces, and operating scenarios.
- Execute simulations and regression tests, analyze logs and waveforms, and investigate functional failures.
- Collaborate with Register Transfer Level (RTL) designers to reproduce defects, verify corrections, and document results.
- Analyze functional and code coverage, identify gaps, and implement additional tests with senior engineer review.
- Maintain reusable verification components and implement approved improvements to existing verification infrastructure.
- Support verification of embedded processors, CPU interfaces, and interactions between SoC components.
- Coordinate with architecture, RTL design, FPGA, and emulation teams to clarify requirements and resolve assigned verification issues.
- Report verification progress and escalate complex architectural or methodology issues to senior engineers.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a directly related field, or its foreign equivalent.
- Minimum of two years of experience in ASIC design verification.
- Working knowledge of System Verilog, object-oriented programming, and UVM.
- Experience developing or modifying testbenches and performing simulation, regression testing, debugging, and coverage analysis.
- Understanding of digital logic, CPU or SoC architecture, and embedded-processor verification concepts.
- Familiarity with verification workflows for large chip designs.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, documentation, and communication skills.

Entry Level Design Verification Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level design verification engineer job?
Employers hiring at the entry level look for candidates who can write testbenches, work with SystemVerilog or UVM, and demonstrate hands-on experience through coursework, capstone projects, or internships. A GitHub repository showing simulation scripts, coverage analysis, or RTL debugging work gives your application concrete evidence of skill. Targeting companies with structured new grad rotations or university hiring programs also improves your odds at this stage.
Which companies hire entry level design verification engineers?
Companies hiring entry level design verification engineers right now include Apple, Qualcomm, and Boeing, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring at this level covers semiconductor design houses, fabless chip startups, and large electronics manufacturers that run dedicated new grad or associate engineer programs.
Are there remote entry level design verification engineer jobs?
Yes, though most openings at this level are on-site or hybrid given the lab access and team mentorship involved. About 9% of entry level design verification engineer openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, so filtering by work setting when you search helps you find the format that fits your situation.
Are these new grad design verification engineer jobs?
Yes. The listings on this page include new grad, recent graduate, and junior design verification engineer roles. A posting is typically new grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts internships or university projects toward the requirement, or explicitly invites a portfolio in place of full-time work history. Searching for "new grad" or "junior" alongside the role title helps surface those openings.
Which industries hire the most entry level design verification engineers?
Entry Level design verification engineer roles concentrate in Electronics & Hardware, Technology & Software, and Telecommunications, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Those sectors drive hiring at this level because they rely on continuous chip development and product refresh cycles that require engineers who can build and run verification environments from early in a design's lifecycle.
