Silicon Logic Formal Verification - Full Time

This full-time Silicon Logic Formal Verification role in Bangalore, India, involves the formal verification of high-performance RISC-V cores, coherent fabrics, and accelerator designs. Key responsibilities include working with architects and RTL design engineers to identify and verify artifacts, proving functional and security properties, finding design bugs, and developing formal abstract models and innovative verification flows. Candidates should possess a solid understanding of temporal assertion properties, hands-on experience with model checking tools, and strong problem-solving and communication skills.

Must Have

• Involved in the formal verification of the architecture and microarchitecture of a high-performance RISC-V core, a coherent fabric, and an accelerator design.
• 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.

Good to Have

• Experience with interactive theorem provers

Positions are open for full-time and co-op/internship roles in the areas of formal verification of CPU, Fabric, and Accelerator design
