TL;DR · Formal Verification AI/ML Engineer

The Formal Verification - AI/ML Engineer joins the Hardware Technologies Formal Verification team to work at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Formal Verification. This role involves building, prototyping, and deploying domain-specific AI applications that leverage Large Language Models to transform how formal verification is performed on Apple Silicon. Key responsibilities include developing RAG pipelines, agentic tool-use frameworks, and fine-tuning models for tasks like property generation, proof debugging, and natural-language-to-formal-specification translation. The candidate will utilize Python, PyTorch, LangChain, LlamaIndex, and Hugging Face to create production-quality tools. Essential skills include a strong mathematical foundation in formal methods or logic, along with experience in hardware verification concepts like RTL and SystemVerilog. This role solves the challenge of accelerating complex hardware verification workflows through innovative AI integration and automated reasoning techniques.

What you'll do

  • Build domain-specific AI applications using LLMs and ML techniques to accelerate formal verification workflows.
  • Develop and fine-tune LLM-based systems including RAG pipelines and agentic tool-use frameworks for hardware tasks.
  • Prototype automated SVA property synthesis and natural-language-to-formal-specification translation tools.
  • Implement intelligent proof debugging, strategy recommendation, and counterexample analysis features.
  • Evaluate and integrate emerging AI/ML research into production-quality tools for the formal verification team.
  • Establish best practices and infrastructure for AI application development within the organization.
  • Translate complex hardware verification pain points into practical, high-impact AI solutions.

What we're looking for

  • A bachelor's degree in a relevant field is required.
  • At least 10 years of relevant industry experience are required.
  • Experience building AI/ML applications using LLMs, including RAG architectures and agentic systems, is preferred.
  • Proficiency in Python and modern ML frameworks like PyTorch, LangChain, or Hugging Face is preferred.
  • A strong mathematical foundation or background in formal methods and logic is preferred.
  • Experience taking AI capabilities from prototype to production-ready tools is preferred.
  • Knowledge of hardware design or verification concepts such as RTL, SystemVerilog, and EDA tools is preferred.
  • An MS or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or Mathematics is preferred.
