Course Overview

Design Verification (DV) is also called RTL / Functional Verification, which involves testing the Design for Functionality. ASIC Verification in VLSI is similar to testing work in the software industry. In any VLSI Project, the number of Design Verification Engineers is more than other skill sets. Hence a number of job opportunities is more for Verification Engineers. Trained DV Engineers are on demand most of the time.
