Senior hardware engineer vs verification engineer

Differences between senior hardware engineer and verification engineer duties and responsibilities

Senior hardware engineer example responsibilities.

• Generate synthesis reports and automate simulation using Perl scripts.
• Provide primarily register-transfer level (RTL) design, IP integration, verification, and IP validation for delivery.
• Create schematics and provide guidance of PCB layout fabrication including signal integrity and power distribution.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to participate in mechanical design and implementation; assist in software debugging and design verification testing.
• Used PMBus, SMBus, I2C analyzer to communicate with processor.
• Cut design time because of good VHDL design for re-use techniques 5MP2FH.

Verification engineer example responsibilities.

• Develop PERL base tools to automate feature testing which result in the reduction of the feature and system test intervals.
• Manage EDA license forecasting and work with project managers and license operations team to track license resource capability and capacity requirements.
• Develop a Perl script to convert a proprietary XML description of register definition to generate SV UVM register file.
• Prepare economics and AFE's for measurement projects.
• Used RF skills to match input circuits for maximum output power, PAE and linearity performance.
• Work on hardware test procedure for central processing unit, engine input/output and engine interface unit FPGA's.
