Description
As a formal verification technical lead you'll work to identify targets and complete formal verification for single or multiple design blocks and IP’s (CPU, Cellular and Connectivity IP, Audio and Image Processing IP, Neural Networks IP, Memory/DMA Controller, Security IP, Peripheral IP, Interconnects, Power management subsystems, etc.), you will be responsible for: - Formalizing the refinement from architecture to micro-architecture.- Developing comprehensive formal verification test plan. - Crafting novel and creative solutions for verifying complex design micro-architectures. - Developing and implementing re-usable and optimized formal models and verification code base. - Architecting correct-by-construction design methodologies for improved formal verification efficiency and productivity.
Key Qualifications
- Outstanding team leading and communication skills and experience working with design and verification teams to identify FV candidates, develop test plans and perform data-centric verification closure.
- Hands on experience with VLSI and digital logic design and verification techniques
- Advanced knowledge of SoC, CPU, GPU, or Cellular designs
- Developed formal property proofs on industrial strength designs and architectures
- Deep understanding of pipeline architectures, memory/DMA controllers, out-of-order and speculative instruction execution hardware, bus interconnects, and cache coherence mechanisms
- Confirmed understanding of formal verification technologies/abstraction techniques
- Knowledge and experience in interpreting hardware specifications and using
- Temporal logic assertion-based languages such as SVA or PSL
- Experience in using EDA formal tools and tool development experience is a plus
- Proficiency in any scripting language with excellent debugging skills
- Extraordinary teammate with excellent interpersonal skills
- Passionate about developing world-class/innovative formal verification solutions
- Understanding of application processors (CPU/GPU), their Instruction Set Architectures (ISA), Memory Consistency Models (MCM) or Cache Coherence protocols is desirable but not necessary
- Exposure to ARM type architectures is desirable but not necessary
