Verification engineer vs principal hardware engineer

Differences between verification engineer and principal hardware engineer 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.

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.
