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 and ML techniques to accelerate workflows, including specification interpretation, property generation, and proof debugging. Key responsibilities include developing retrieval-augmented generation pipelines, agentic tool-use frameworks, and fine-tuning models for hardware verification tasks. You will use Python, PyTorch, LangChain, LlamaIndex, and Hugging Face to prototype solutions like automatic SVA property synthesis and natural-language-to-formal-specification translation. The role requires a rigorous mathematical foundation in formal methods or logic to solve complex hardware verification problems, integrating emerging AI research into production-quality tools for formal verification engineers and design engineers.

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-specification translation.
  • Implement intelligent counterexample analysis and proof strategy recommendation systems.
  • Evaluate and integrate emerging AI/ML research into production-quality hardware verification tools.
  • Establish best practices and infrastructure for AI application development within the formal verification organization.
  • Translate formal verification methodologies and pain points into practical AI-powered productivity improvements.

What we're looking for

  • A bachelor's degree in a relevant field is required.
  • Minimum of 10 years of relevant industry experience is required.
  • MS or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field (preferred).
  • Strong hands-on experience building AI/ML applications, particularly those leveraging Large Language Models (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).
  • Background in formal methods, mathematical logic, or a strong mathematical foundation (preferred).
  • Prior exposure to hardware design or verification concepts such as RTL, SystemVerilog, assertions, or EDA tools (preferred).
