Requirements
  • Understanding of formally specifying and analyzing temporal assertion properties.
  • Experience with model checking/interactive theorem provers.
  • PhD, Master’s Degree, or Bachelor’s Degree in a technical subject area.
Responsibilities
  • As a Formal Verification Engineer, you will be involved in the formal verification of the architecture and microarchitecture of a high-performance RISC-V core, a coherent fabric, and an accelerator design. In this position, you will:
  • Work with architects and RTL design engineers to identify, specify, and verify artifacts amenable to formal analysis.
  • Prove functional and security properties of the design, find design bugs, and work closely with design teams to deliver high-quality designs.
  • Develop sound formal abstract models for verifying system-level properties like deadlock freedom and non-starvation using formal methods.
  • Develop innovative flows using formal methods in conjunction with simulation-based techniques for effective bug hunting.
  • Develop reusable and scalable proof techniques.
