Functional Verification FAQ
what you need to know before applying
“Functional Verification Engineer” is also referred to as: ASIC/FPGA Verification Engineer, Hardware Verification Engineer, Pre-silicon Verification Engineer, Digital/Analog/Mixed-signal Verification Engineer, or RTL Verification Engineer. So you get to pick whatever title sounds the coolest!
FVEs are essential in the chip-making process because they find functional bugs before IC production. Hardware bugs are as easy to fix as software bugs in the pre-silicon stage, but we have to be extra careful so that bugs don’t make it into the production phase because then there’s no undo. This is especially true if the chips are going to be used in the medical field, or in the automotive industry, where safety is crucial.
FVEs are needed by ASIC producers (Intel, Apple, Infineon), FPGA producers (Xilinx), Semiconductor factories (Samsung, Intel), Electronics industry companies (Sony, Nvidia, Samsung), Telecommunications (Ericsson, Nokia), IP producers, Electronic Design Automation Companies (Cadence, Synopsys, AMIQ EDA), Training services companies and Consulting companies that provide verification services (AMIQ Consulting)
As far as theoretical knowledge goes, you should know about Algorithms and Data Structures, and Digital Circuit Design. Before you start your FVE career you would need to practice your generic programming skills and OOP, Software Debugging, Verilog/VHDL (you can try Asic World and EDA Playground to learn) and know your way around the Linux environment, as it is used in the semiconductor industry.
Mostly software, digital design and verification planning. Tasks for a FVE include: studying the specification of the verified module, writing a verification plan document, implementing the Verification Environment, simulating the design, reporting bugs, and debugging. As you are working with a team, collaboration skills are helpful.
Digital functional verification is a niche area within the field of hardware development. Being a small niche, it is not easy to find skilled FVEs, so there is a high demand for specialists. Functional verification also has high wages to offer, especially for experts.
