Senior Formal Verification Engineer

What You'll Do

• will be to verify the micro-architecture using formal verification tools, define the verification scope, and ensure correctness.
• You will employ sophisticated formal techniques to acquire sufficiently bounded proofs while working with architects, designers, and pre- & post-silicon verification teams to accomplish your tasks.
• You will efficiently complete the formal verification effort for the entire project cycle, delivering high-quality results on schedule, and clearly conveying those results to the team.
• What you will be doing: Identify key behaviors for verification to write clear testplans for sophisticated designs.
• Implement testplans using the latest formal techniques, including the development of environment assumptions, assertions, and cover properties.
• Develop abstraction models to overcome complexity challenges and acquire full proofs, or bounded proofs with sufficient coverage.
• Drive formal tools to realize their best performance.
• Debug RTL to identify causes of failure scenarios.
• Contribute to flow and script development to improve team efficiency.
