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 Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level design verification job?
Focus on building hands-on experience through internships, academic projects, or personal lab work that demonstrates your ability to write test plans and debug hardware or software designs. Employers hiring at this level look for familiarity with simulation tools, HDL languages, or structured verification methodologies. A well-documented project portfolio showing real verification work gives you a clear edge over candidates who rely on coursework alone.
Which companies hire entry level design verifications?
Companies hiring entry level design verifications right now include Apple, Qualcomm, and Boeing, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a mix of large semiconductor and electronics firms, defense contractors, and growth-stage hardware startups that bring on junior talent to support expanding verification teams.
Are there remote entry level design verification jobs?
Yes, though many design verification roles at this level require on-site access to lab equipment and hardware. About 9% of entry level design verification openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, concentrated in teams where simulation and software-side verification work can be done independently. Hybrid arrangements are more common than fully remote for candidates just starting out.
Are these new grad design verification jobs?
Yes, these listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior design verification roles. A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, accepts internship work or academic projects in place of professional history, or asks for a portfolio rather than a long resume. Searching for junior or new grad alongside design verification surfaces the most accessible openings for candidates entering the field.
Which industries hire the most entry level design verifications?
Entry Level design verification roles concentrate in Electronics & Hardware, Technology & Software, and Telecommunications, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive entry level hiring because they run large verification teams with structured onboarding, making them well suited to bringing on junior engineers and recent graduates who are building foundational skills.
