- Guiding and training team members on effective usage of FV tools.
- Reviewing formal setups and proofs with design and verification teams.
- Maintaining and extending assertion libraries, including support for both simulation and formal verification.
- Identifying key behaviors for verification of DUT and creating a formal verification plan.
- Developing verification environments, including environment assumptions, assertions, and cover properties in the context of the verification plan.
- Applying various formal verification techniques to prove the correctness of digital designs.
- Debugging RTL to identify causes of failure scenarios.

The Impact You Will Have:

- Enhance the reliability and quality of our digital designs through rigorous formal verification.
- Contribute to the development of high-performance silicon chips and software content.
- Improve the overall design and verification process by maintaining and extending assertion libraries.
- Facilitate knowledge sharing and skill development within the team by providing guidance and training on FV tools.
- Ensure the correctness of designs by identifying key behaviors and creating comprehensive verification plans.
- Support the success of geographically diverse cross-functional teams through effective collaboration and communication.

What Youll Need:

- Strong knowledge of architectures of designs and digital logic.
- Experience with synthesis flow and static timing flows, formal checking, etc.
- Hands-on experience with HDLs such as Verilog / System Verilog.
- Understanding of temporal logic assertions.
- Experience with at least one formal verification tool (e.g., Jasper, VC-Formal).
- Experience with complex verification projects that used formal techniques for closure.
- Skills in Python, Perl, or Shell scripting (a plus).

Who You Are:

- A seasoned professional with a comprehensive understanding of formal verification techniques.
- A collaborative team player with excellent communication skills.
- A problem solver with strong debugging skills.
- A mentor capable of guiding junior engineers and interns.
- An individual with a proactive and detail-oriented approach to work.

The Team Youll Be A Part Of:
