How we counted: 1412 open Design Verification (Design Verification) roles from 101 employers tracked in the SemiconductorJobs index, counted 14 Nov 2026. Specialty figures count only roles carrying this exact specialty label, so an employer's related work in neighbouring specialties is not included there, and is counted in the wider Digital Design & Verification family row. Days are counted from when our index first saw each posting, not from the employer's original posting date.
