About the company
Intel’s AI SoC organization is driving innovation in next-generation ASICs for AI applications across edge and cloud. As a Senior Formal Verification Engineer, you will play a critical role in ensuring the functional correctness of complex digital designs using advanced formal methods. This position offers the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technology and shape verification strategies for AI SoCs.
Responsibilities
Key Responsibilities
•
Own formal verification strategy and execution for complex SoC IP blocks and subsystems.
•
Develop and maintain formal verification environments using SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) and industry-standard formal tools.
•
Write and review formal properties, constraints, and coverage goals to achieve exhaustive verification.
•
Collaborate with design and simulation teams to identify corner cases and complement dynamic verification.
•
Drive formal sign-off, including convergence analysis and coverage closure.
•
Contribute to pre-silicon verification, chip bring-up, and post-silicon debug support.
•
Mentor junior engineers and establish best practices for formal verification methodology
Additional Responsibilities
•
Define and develop scalable, reusable verification plans for block, subsystem, and SoC levels.
•
Execute verification plans and run emulation and system simulation models to validate design, analyze power/performance, and uncover bugs.
•
Debug and root-cause issues in the presilicon environment; implement corrective measures.
•
Collaborate with architects, RTL developers, and physical design teams to improve verification of complex features.
•
Document test plans and lead technical reviews with design and architecture teams.
