TL;DR · Formal Verification AI/ML Engineer

The Formal Verification - AI/ML Engineer joins the Hardware Technologies Formal Verification team to build AI-powered systems that transform how formal verification is performed on Apple Silicon. You will develop domain-specific applications leveraging Large Language Models to accelerate workflows, including specification interpretation, property generation, and proof debugging. Key responsibilities involve fine-tuning LLM-based systems, creating retrieval-augmented generation pipelines, and designing agentic tool-use frameworks. You will prototype novel approaches for automatic SVA property synthesis and natural-language-to-formal-specification translation. The role requires proficiency in Python, PyTorch, LangChain, LlamaIndex, and Hugging Face. Candidates must possess a strong mathematical foundation in formal methods or logic. You will solve technical problems by integrating emerging AI research into production-quality tools for hardware verification, working alongside design engineers and EDA tool developers.

What you'll do

  • Build domain-specific AI applications using LLMs to accelerate formal verification workflows.
  • Develop and fine-tune LLM-based systems including RAG pipelines and agentic tool-use frameworks.
  • Prototype AI-driven approaches for automatic SVA property synthesis and natural-language-to-formal translation.
  • Evaluate and integrate emerging AI/ML research into production-quality hardware verification tools.
  • Provide proof strategy recommendations and intelligent counterexample analysis using machine learning.
  • Establish best practices and infrastructure for AI application development within the formal verification organization.

What we're looking for

  • A bachelor's degree in a relevant field is required.
  • A minimum of 10 years of relevant industry experience is required.
  • Strong hands-on experience building AI/ML applications, particularly those leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) (preferred).
  • Demonstrated ability to take AI capabilities from prototype to production (preferred).
  • Proficiency in Python and modern ML/AI frameworks such as PyTorch, LangChain, LlamaIndex, or Hugging Face (preferred).
  • A background in formal methods, mathematical logic, or a strong mathematical foundation (preferred).
  • Software engineering best practices including version control, testing, and API design (preferred).
  • An MS or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field (preferred).
