We work every single day to design and manufacture silicon products that empower people's digital lives. Come join us and do something wonderful. We are looking for a highly skilled Arithmetic Formal Verification Engineer to join our silicon design team. This role focuses on the formal verification of complex arithmetic hardware blocks, including fixed-point and floating-point datapaths. You will play a critical role in ensuring the mathematical correctness and corner-case robustness of arithmetic-intensive designs used in next-generation compute architectures. Key Responsibilities: Develop and execute formal verification strategies specifically targeting arithmetic logic units (ALUs), floating-point units (FPUs), dividers, multipliers, and custom math blocks. Develop formal verification testbenches and properties for arithmetic hardware designs. Collaborate with RTL designers to understand microarchitectural details and identify verification targets. Write and debug formal arithmetic specifications. Use formal tools (e.g., JasperGold, VC Formal, OneSpin) to prove correctness or find corner-case bugs. Analyze counterexamples and work with design teams to resolve issues. Contribute to the development of verification methodologies and best practices. Document verification plans, results, and coverage metrics. Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications: You must possess a B.S. in Computer Engineering/ Electrical Engineering or any STEM Degree with 6+ years of experience listed below; OR a M.S. in Computer Engineering/ Electrical Engineering or any STEM Degree with 4+ years of experience listed below; OR a PhD in Computer Engineering/ Electrical Engineering or any STEM Degree with 6+ months of experience listed below. The experience must include the following areas: Strong understanding of digital design fundamentals, especially arithmetic circuits (e.g., adders, multipliers, dividers, floating-point units). Hands on experience with industry standard formal verification tools such as JasperGold, Questa Formal, VC Formal. Experience with formal abstractions and other complexity reduction techniques. Experience with a hardware modeling language, such as Verilog, VHDL, or System Verilog and industry standard logic simulation tools. Experience in assertion writing, checker development, coverage analysis, failure debug, root cause analysis. Preferred Qualifications: Knowledge of arithmetic computational formats. Knowledge of theorem proving, model checking, or SAT/SMT solvers. Knowledge of Intel Architecture ISA and system architecture, x86 assembly language. Experience working in large-scale SoC or IP development environments. Computer architecture knowledge with emphasis on out of order processor execution, memory hierarchy, and memory management. Post-silicon debug and analysis.
