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 Verification Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level verification engineer job?
Employers hiring at the entry level look for hands-on experience with hardware description languages like SystemVerilog or VHDL, familiarity with simulation tools, and evidence of practical work through coursework, capstone projects, or internships. A GitHub portfolio with testbench or verification IP examples gives candidates a concrete edge. Many postings also welcome candidates who have completed relevant internships or co-ops, even at smaller companies or academic research labs.
Which companies hire entry level verification engineers?
Companies hiring entry level verification engineers right now include Apple, Qualcomm, and NVIDIA, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a broad mix of semiconductor manufacturers, consumer electronics firms, defense contractors, and automotive technology suppliers, many of which run structured new grad programs that build verification skills from the ground up.
Are there remote entry level verification engineer jobs?
Yes, though on-site roles remain more common at the entry level because hands-on lab access and team mentorship are central to early-career verification work. About 7% of entry level verification engineer openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, concentrated primarily at larger semiconductor and EDA software companies that have established distributed engineering teams.
Are these new grad verification engineer jobs?
Yes, listings on this page include new grad, recent graduate, and junior verification engineer roles. A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, accepts internship or co-op work as qualifying experience, or lists a portfolio or university project as an acceptable substitute for professional history. Searching for "junior" or "new grad" alongside verification engineer surfaces these openings most reliably.
Which industries hire the most entry level verification engineers?
Entry Level 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 entry level hiring because they depend heavily on chip design, embedded systems validation, and FPGA development, all areas where demand for testbench and simulation expertise outpaces the supply of experienced engineers.
