- 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

Design Verification Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a design verification engineer in Texas?
Most Texas employers require a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or computer engineering as the foundation for a design verification role. Texas does not issue a state license specific to this position, so hiring is credential-driven rather than board-regulated. Candidates who build proficiency in SystemVerilog, UVM, and simulation tools through coursework, personal projects, or internships at Texas universities such as UT Austin or Texas A&M are well-positioned to enter the field.
How much do design verifications make in Texas?
Design verifications in Texas earn a median of about $132,220 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $82,950 for the lowest 10% to over $205,710 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire design verifications in Texas?
Employers hiring design verifications 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 firms and defense contractors creates consistent, year-round demand for verification talent across the state.
Which Texas cities have the most design verification jobs?
Austin, Richardson, and Dallas have the most design verification openings in Texas. Austin leads because of its large semiconductor and fabless chip design ecosystem anchored by companies like Texas Instruments, Samsung Semiconductor, and numerous startups, while Dallas-Fort Worth draws volume from defense and telecom employers, and Houston contributes openings through aerospace and energy-adjacent electronics firms.
Are there remote design verification jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're less common than in purely software-focused fields, since design verification often requires direct access to lab equipment, simulation servers, and proprietary EDA tool licenses. About 44% of design verification openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting a mix of workplace models. The tasks most likely to be done remotely are testbench development, coverage analysis, and documentation work.
How can I get hired as a design verification engineer in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through an internship or co-op program at a Texas semiconductor company while still in school, converting to a full-time role afterward. Large Texas employers such as Texas Instruments and NXP Semiconductors run structured new-graduate programs that onboard candidates directly into verification teams. Candidates without internship experience can move laterally from RTL design or FPGA engineering roles, and building a portfolio of open-source UVM testbenches on a public repository gives hiring managers something concrete to evaluate.
Where can I find and apply to design verification jobs in Texas?
You can find and apply to design verification jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current Texas openings updated regularly. Find roles that fit your experience level and location preference, then apply directly to each employer through the listing.
