Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all.
Micron Technology is a world leader in innovating memory and storage solutions that accelerate the transformation of information into intelligence, inspiring the world to learn, communicate and advance faster than ever.
The Heterogeneous Integration Group (HIG) sits within the Technology and Products Group (TPG). We are developing High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) solutions for AI and ML applications! We stack multiple DRAM chips on a high-speed memory controller using TSV (Through Silicon Via) technology, dramatically increasing memory density and bandwidth. Our designs span custom digital and RTL2GDS flows, and we are targeting the lowest power per bit in the industry.
Join us as a Senior Verification Engineer and contribute to modular, scalable verification solutions for next-generation HBM DRAM products! You will work independently within a multi-functional team of technical domain experts, spanning both IP-level and SoC-level verification. You will collaborate with Design Engineering, Product Engineering, and Business Units to complete the HBM verification roadmap. You will apply your solid understanding of testbench architecture, custom or SoC verification methodologies, and 2.5D & 3D package integration to evaluate issues, define solutions, and broaden your expertise.
Responsibilities:
- Develop and implement verification plans and architecture collateral across IP-level and SoC-level verification for current and future HBM designs
- Support co-verification of the overall system and participate in customer interactions to gather feedback and provide recommendations for future HBM solutions
- Build and improve verification methodology components and GenAI applications aligned to HBM design cycles, broadening cross-disciplinary knowledge across custom digital and RTL2GDS flows
- Evaluate and debug pre-silicon and post-silicon issues in current HBM products, and contribute to exploration of new HBM verification architectures
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:
- Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
- 4+ years of relevant verification engineering experience, including over 3 years in digital (Verilog), analog (FastSpice), or mixed-signal verification (co-sims or real number modeling)
- Over 2 years working in custom design verification (schematic-based) or RTL design verification flows
- Ability to independently evaluate technical issues and define solutions, with good verbal and written communication skills
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Master's in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience, accompanied by more than 6 years in verification engineering roles
- One or more patents, trade secrets, or publications showcasing innovation and problem-solving in verification solutions
- Over 2 years in memory products using JEDEC specifications (preferably HBM), with experience building or improving verification flows

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding STEM OPT Authorization in Design Verification
Confirm your CIP code covers verification roles
Check that your degree's Classification of Instructional Programs code maps to an approved STEM field before applying. Electrical Engineering (14.1001) and Computer Engineering (14.0901) both qualify, but a mismatch delays your extension.
Search employers through E-Verify before applying
Use the E-Verify employer search to confirm a company is enrolled before you invest time in their process. Design Verification roles often sit inside hardware or silicon teams at companies that don't always advertise their E-Verify status publicly.
Build your I-983 training plan around functional verification
Your I-983 must list specific learning objectives tied to your role. For Design Verification, name concrete skills: writing UVM testbenches, coverage closure, formal property verification, or RTL debugging, not vague goals like 'gain industry experience.'
Target companies with active USCIS LCA filings in EE roles
Migrate Mate surfaces employers with verified Labor Condition Application filing history in electrical and computer engineering occupations, so you can focus your search on companies already set up to hire STEM OPT candidates in technical hardware roles.
Apply 90 days before your OPT end date to avoid a gap
Your DSO must recommend the STEM OPT extension in SEVIS before your initial OPT expires. Filing your I-765 at least 90 days out keeps you in a valid cap-gap period if USCIS processing extends past your OPT end date.

Find Design Verification JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does a Design Verification role qualify for the STEM OPT extension?
Yes, if your employer is enrolled in E-Verify and your degree is in an approved STEM field such as Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science. The O*NET occupation profile for Design Verification engineers confirms the role's alignment with STEM disciplines. Your DSO verifies the CIP code match before recommending the extension in SEVIS.
What should my I-983 training plan include for a Design Verification job?
Your I-983 must document specific learning goals tied to your actual work. For Design Verification, that means naming technical skills you'll develop, such as UVM methodology, SystemVerilog assertions, simulation debugging, or coverage-driven verification. Generic objectives like 'improve engineering skills' won't satisfy USCIS. Your employer's designated training supervisor must sign the form and provide mid-point and final evaluations.
How do I confirm my employer is enrolled in E-Verify before accepting an offer?
E-Verify maintains a public employer search tool where you can look up a company by name or location. Enrollment is required for all STEM OPT employers, so confirm this before signing an offer letter. Semiconductor and hardware design firms with federal contracts are typically already enrolled, but smaller IP or EDA startups may not be, so always verify directly.
Can I work for multiple employers on STEM OPT in a Design Verification role?
Yes, but each employer must be separately enrolled in E-Verify, and you need a separate I-983 training plan for each one. Your DSO must be notified of every employer relationship. A part-time verification contract role at a second company counts as concurrent employment and requires its own documentation. USCIS expects all training to be directly related to your qualifying STEM degree.
Where can I find Design Verification jobs where employers are already set up for STEM OPT?
Migrate Mate filters Design Verification roles by employers with active E-Verify enrollment and LCA filing history in engineering occupations, so you're not applying blind to companies that have never hired on STEM OPT before. This saves the back-and-forth of asking HR whether they can take on a STEM OPT student for a hardware verification position.
