Description

As a formal verification architect leading the complete formal verification for single or multiple design blocks and IP’s (CPU, Media IP, Security IP, Peripheral IP, Interconnects, Power management subsystems, etc.), you will be responsible for: Working with SOC and IP design teams to develop a formal micro-architecture specification. Developing a comprehensive formal verification test plan. Proving properties of the design, finding design bugs, and working closely with design teams to help improve the micro-architecture. Architecting novel and innovative 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.
