As a Staff GPU Design Verification Engineer – Formal Verification, you will join the GPU Design Verification team at SARC/ACL to support block and subsystem level formal verification for next-generation mobile GPUs. You will collaborate with architecture and RTL teams to ensure functional correctness, power gating mechanisms, and alignment with architectural intent. Your daily responsibilities include defining verification goals, properties, and coverage objectives while architecting and implementing formal verification environments. You will use industry-standard formal tools and methodologies to validate complex graphics and compute behavior, applying techniques like proof depth, bug hunting, and convergence analysis. Required skills include proficiency in SystemVerilog, SystemVerilog Assertions, and programming in Python, Perl, or C/C++. You will solve complex verification problems to ensure robust performance for high-performance computing devices.

What you'll do

  • Execute block and subsystem level formal verification for next-generation mobile GPUs.
  • Define verification goals, properties, coverage objectives, and sign-off criteria for critical GPU features.
  • Architect and implement formal verification environments using industry-standard tools and methodologies.
  • Develop assertions and formal models to validate complex graphics and compute behaviors.
  • Verify corner cases, state-space behaviors, and safety properties using formal techniques.
  • Analyze formal failures and trace counterexamples to perform root-cause resolution.
  • Apply techniques like proof depth, bug hunting, and convergence analysis to achieve verification closure.
  • Maintain documentation including formal verification test plans, convergence reports, and complexity analysis.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science/Engineering with 5+ years of experience, Master’s with 3+ years, or Ph.D. with 1+ years of experience.
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in GPU, CPU, or advanced semiconductor design verification with a focus on formal verification.
  • Solid understanding of computer architecture and graphics pipelines.
  • Strong programming and scripting skills in Python, Perl, C/C++, or equivalent.
  • Proficiency in SystemVerilog and SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA).
  • Working knowledge of formal verification methodologies including property verification, model checking, and coverage analysis.
  • Hands-on experience with industry-standard formal verification EDA tools and methodologies.
  • Applicants must be authorized to access information subject to U.S. export control laws.
