TL;DR · Formal Design Verification Engineer

The Formal Design Verification Engineer joins the Verification & Validation team within the Compute Silicon & Manufacturing Engineering organization to support Microsoft’s cloud infrastructure. This role focuses on the verification of components used in Fabric Interconnect by developing formal-based verification environments, running simulations, and innovating methodologies to improve efficiency. The engineer will also integrate generative AI solutions into daily workflows while mentoring others. Key technical requirements include experience with pre-silicon subsystem or IP formal verification, specifically involving Coherent Hub Interface (CHI) and Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture (AMBA) protocols. Candidates should be proficient in System Verilog Test Bench (SVTB), Universal Verification Methodology (UVM), and Python for post-processing. The work addresses critical hardware challenges including coherency, virtualization, security, interrupts, PCIe, CXL, and protocol bridges to ensure high-quality production of state-of-the-art computer chips like Azure Cobalt.

What you'll do

  • Own or lead the verification of components used in Fabric Interconnect.
  • Define verification strategies and test plans by collaborating with partner teams.
  • Develop Formal-based verification environments to run and debug simulations for quality assurance.
  • Innovate new methodologies and tools to improve overall verification efficiency.
  • Apply generative AI solutions to streamline and enhance verification workflows.
  • Coach and mentor team members in specific areas of technical expertise.

What we're looking for

  • A Doctorate in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science with 1+ year of technical engineering experience.
  • A Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science with 4+ years of technical engineering experience.
  • A Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science with 5+ years of technical engineering experience.
  • Ability to pass the Microsoft Cloud Background Check and meet government security screening requirements.
  • Proof of citizenship or protected status for access to export-controlled information.
  • Preferred experience of 3+ years in pre-silicon subsystem or IP Formal verification.
  • Experience with CHI and AMBA protocols, fabric interconnects, coherency, virtualization, security, interrupts, PCIe, CXL, or protocol bridges.
  • Proficiency in UVM, SystemVerilog, and Python for test bench creation and script writing.
