Verification engineer vs computer hardware designer

Differences between verification engineer and computer hardware designer duties and responsibilities

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.

Computer hardware designer example responsibilities.

• Generate synthesis reports and automate simulation using Perl scripts.
• Optimize design, permitting implementation in a cheaper FPGA.
• Redesign most of the FPGA circuitry dedicate to this reflection.
• Provide concept drawings, proof of concept / prototyping, creating manufacturing drawings, and field support.
• Work as a team member to gather, classify, and document the software, hardware, and firmware requirements.
• Perform design specification and RTL implementation of functional units and 2D imaging memory controllers.
