As a Senior Formal Verification Engineer at NVIDIA, you will verify the design and implementation of the industrys leading GPUs. In this position, your responsibilities will be to verify the micro-architecture using formal verification tools, define the verification scope, and ensure design correctness. You will employ advanced formal techniques to obtain sufficiently bounded proofs while working with architects, designers, and pre- & post-silicon verification teams to accomplish your tasks. You will efficiently execute the formal verification effort for the entire project cycle, delivering high-quality results on schedule, and clearly conveying those results to the team.

What you will be doing:

Identify key behaviors for verification to write clear testplans for complex designs.
Execute testplans using the latest formal techniques, including the development of environment assumptions, assertions, and cover properties.
Develop abstraction models to overcome complexity challenges and obtain full proofs, or bounded proofs with sufficient coverage.
Drive formal tools to realize their best performance.
Debug RTL to identify causes of failure scenarios.
Contribute to flow and script development to improve team efficiency.
Articulate formal verification coverage of the design to partners.

What we need to see:

BS/MS/PhD or equivalent experience in CS/CE/EE/Mathematics with 5+ years of experience.
Understanding of GPU/CPU architectures and designs.
Experience with Verilog / System Verilog HDLs and able to understand complex RTL quickly.
Experience with formal tools and knowledge of formal verification methodologies.
Able to implement abstraction techniques for effective verification.
Strong analytical skills to solve complex problems.
Excellent command of scripting using TCL, Perl, and/or Python.
Excellent interpersonal skills.
Able to effectively collaborate and work in a distributed team.

The base salary range is 128,000 USD - 258,750 USD. Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions.
