Principal hardware engineer vs design verification engineer

Differences between principal hardware engineer and design verification engineer duties and responsibilities

Principal hardware engineer example responsibilities.

• Design activity lead to performing PCB layout using an outside vendor and then debugging the initial prototypes.
• Supervise and manage compliance testing and debugging of emissions.
• Generate synthesis reports and automate simulation using Perl scripts.
• Train senior and principal engineers in signal integrity, microwave, and RF design methodology.
• Interface with analogue and digital sensors using ADC and serial communications (RS232, SPI, I2C, RS485 )
• Work as liaison for EMC at NTS.

Design verification engineer example responsibilities.

• Develop system tools in Perl to automate test program generation to replace previously unsupport test tool.
• Manage EDA license forecasting and work with project managers and license operations team to track license resource capability and capacity requirements.
• Design the functional blocks for the SONET/SDH ASIC using VHDL.
• Assemble test fixtures, load banks, troubleshoot boards, and perform bench level repair.
• Add test cases, file bug reports, verify rtl fixes and stabilize the test case regressions.
• Work on verification of subsystem at various levels, complex RTL debugging, customer support and bug diagnosis.
