Silicon Formal Verification

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

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.

Requirements

• Solid understanding of formally specifying and analyzing temporal assertion properties.
• Hands-on experience using model checking tools.
• Experience with interactive theorem provers is a plus.
• Excellent problem-solving skills, along with strong written and verbal communication abilities.
• Excellent organizational skills and high self-motivation.
• Ability to communicate and work well with different design teams.

Education and Experience

PhD, Master’s Degree, or Bachelor’s Degree in a technical subject area.
