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.
Articulate formal verification coverage to partners.
What we need to see:
BS/MS/PhD or equivalent experience in CS/CE/EE/Mathematics with 6+ years of experience.
Understanding of GPU/CPU architectures and engineering work flows.
