Design Verification Engineer

Design Verification Engineers need to see that all the products created should meet the safety requirements. They usually work with other engineers to design, build and test new products or features.

Some of the typical roles of a Design Verification Engineer are listed below:

• Design Engineer: Assess the testing environments and verification mechanisms and methods. Also, they identify new systems and processes to drive quality and efficiency and save costs.
• Product Engineer: Design verification strategies based on the designs of the products and failure possibilities. They also conduct quality check inspections
• Test Engineer: Executing quality assurance and designing performance tests using the new testing procedures.

Some of the major responsibilities of a Design Verification Engineer are:

• Performing quality checks on products to meet design requirements, checking for any failure, determining the cause of the failure, and making relevant changes to enhance product design.
• Work with manufacturing engineers to ensure that products meet design specifications and client requirements by discussing design changes or enhancing products.
• Creating computer prototypes to understand how a product will work under different circumstances.
• Reviewing product drawings and checking if they meet engineering specifications and standards and testing materials to ensure they meet the criteria.

Given below are the requirements to become a Design Verification Engineer:

• Should have a bachelor’s degree in computer science, electrical engineering, software engineering or a related discipline.
• Experience in design verification or equivalent.

Some alternative job roles available for a Design Verification Engineer are:

• Senior Software Engineer: Develops and maintains complex software applications, utilizing advanced programming languages and frameworks.
• Test / Quality Assurance (QA) Engineer: Executes test plans, verifies software functionality, and ensures high-quality standards are met.
• Software Developer: Designs, codes, and troubleshoots software programs, contributing to the development of innovative applications.
• Software Test Lead: Oversees and coordinates software testing activities, ensuring thorough testing of applications and adherence to quality standards.
• Digital Design Engineer: Designs and implements digital circuits and systems, creating innovative hardware solutions.
• System Validation Engineer: Validates and verifies system functionality, ensuring optimal performance and compliance with specifications.
• Hardware Engineer: Designs, tests, and troubleshoots computer hardware components, contributing to the development of cutting-edge devices.

The need for design verification engineers will increase as manufacturing processes become more complicated and require these designs to be defect-free. CAD software and 3-D printing should also improve efficiency in product verification.
The Indian CAD software industry's size is expected to grow at an annual rate of 8% to reach around $696.9 million by 2025. Construction companies are using CAD software at an increasing rate, smart manufacturing is becoming more popular, and accurate and improved-quality designs are in high demand resulting in the need for design verification engineers.
