Intel CPU Formal Verification Engineer 

United States, Texas 

801550699

You will be responsible for, but not limited to:

• Conducts verification of IP and/or SoC microarchitecture using formal verification tools, methodologies, and technologies based on model checking and equivalence checking algorithms.
• Creates comprehensive formal verification test and coverage plans including definition of formal verification scope, strategy, and techniques.
• Creates abstraction models for convergence on the design, carves out the right boundaries for the design, and tracks, verifies, and applies abstraction techniques.
• Develops formal proofs to implement the verification plan, reviews the completed proofs, and develops new formal verification methodologies.
• Performs convergence on design by creating formal verification methodology, abstraction, and simulation techniques.
• Finds and implements corrective measures to resolve failing tests.
• Collaborates with architects, RTL developers, and physical design teams to improve verification of complex architectural and microarchitectural features.
• Documents test plans and drives technical reviews of plans and proofs with design and architecture teams.
• Maintains and improves existing functional verification infrastructure and methodology.
• Understands the binary decision diagram (BDD) and data flow graph (DFG) for data paths and resolves the BDD complexity on arithmetic.
• Applies understanding of modeling architecture to simplify and model the problem and uses tools to formally prove protocols and architectures.
