Mixed Signal Design Verification Engineer
Position Summary
Integrated Circuit Solutions (ICS) Group is seeking a highly motivated Mixed Signal Design Verification Engineer with a strong background in analog and mixed-signal IC design verification. In this role, you will be responsible for pre-tapeout verification of silicon design, ensuring the part will meet all stated specifications and behavior and is manufacturable and testable. Familiarity with power converters and the challenges of power design is a plus. This position requires strong communication skills and leadership qualities. The selected individual will assume a technical contributor role with the ability to identify and implement opportunities for continuous improvement and work collaboratively with a diverse team of analog and digital designers, layout engineers, and system architects to ensure first-pass silicon success and high-quality product delivery.
Key Responsibilities
- Operate as DV lead to drive quality product tapeouts
- Develop a detailed pre-Si verification plan, create simulation environments, and mixed-signal behavioral models and work closely with design and systems teams to execute automated regressions to ensure coverage goals are met
- Interface across different functional groups such as systems, applications, test, silicon validation, etc. to ensure product design was verified correctly and completely and that end-product fits customer’s needs
- Build relationships with internal teams by closely interacting with them to identify and solve design related problems
- Analyze simulation results, identify root causes of failures, and provide actionable recommendations.
- Participate in design reviews, verification reviews, and silicon bring-up activities.
- Support post-silicon validation and correlation between simulation and measured silicon performance.
Required Qualifications
- Strong familiarity with EDA design tools such as Cadance Virtuoso design environment
- Strong familiarity with analog, digital and mixed-signal design and tool flow
- Extensive experience with Verilog/Verilog-A/SystemVerilog and Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) to run automated regressions
- Working knowledge of Unix shell, TCL, Perl, Python and SKILL scripting languages

Design Verification Engineer Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a design verification engineer in Texas?
Most design verification engineer roles in Texas require at least a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computer science. Texas does not impose a state-specific license for this role, so hiring is driven by technical qualifications rather than credentialing boards. Candidates who build hands-on experience with SystemVerilog, UVM, and major EDA simulation tools while still in school are consistently competitive with Texas employers.
Which companies hire design verification engineers in Texas?
Employers hiring design verification engineers in Texas right now include Apple, SiFive, and Google, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Texas's dense concentration of semiconductor and defense electronics firms means hiring is spread across Austin's chip design corridor, the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, and Houston's aerospace and energy-adjacent hardware sector.
Which Texas cities have the most design verification engineer jobs?
Austin, Richardson, and Dallas account for the largest share of design verification engineer openings in Texas. Austin leads because it anchors the state's semiconductor and fabless chip design cluster, with major campuses from companies like Texas Instruments and NXP drawing consistent demand, while Dallas-Fort Worth adds defense electronics and telecom hardware volume and Houston contributes through aerospace and industrial electronics employers.
Are there remote design verification engineer jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're less common than in purely software-focused roles, since verification work frequently requires access to lab hardware, EDA tool licenses, and on-site simulation clusters. About 44% of design verification engineer openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, with remote options most often attached to the simulation and testbench development phases of a project rather than bring-up or lab validation work.
How can I get hired as a design verification engineer in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to intern or new-graduate rotational programs at large Texas semiconductor employers such as Texas Instruments, which runs a well-known campus hiring program, or NXP Semiconductors, which recruits directly from Texas A&M, UT Austin, and other state engineering programs. Candidates coming from adjacent roles like digital design, FPGA development, or software QA often make a lateral move successfully. A strong portfolio of UVM testbench projects, even from coursework, gives early-career candidates a concrete edge in Texas interviews.
Where can I find and apply to design verification engineer jobs in Texas?
You can find and apply to design verification engineer jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current Texas openings updated in real time. Search the listings, find the roles that match your background and location preference, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
