: Senior Formal Verification Engineer
Role Overview
We are looking for a Senior Formal Verification Engineer to own formal sign-off for complex, high speed IP blocks and subsystems. The ideal candidate combines deep formal methodology expertise with strong hands-on SystemVerilog/UVM verification experience on complex protocol IPs such as
DDR, PCIe, and Ethernet.
Key Responsibilities
● Own end-to-end Formal Property Verification (FPV) for complex IP and subsystem blocks —
from test plan and property/assertion development through proof convergence and sign-off
● Perform formal connectivity checking, X-propagation, CDC/RDC-adjacent formal analysis, and register/CSR formal verification
● Apply advanced formal techniques — abstraction, case-splitting, cut-points, and complexity reduction — to achieve convergence on large, complex designs
● Develop and review SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) for protocol compliance, data integrity,
and corner-case behavior on DDR, PCIe, and/or Ethernet IP
● Complement formal sign-off with strong SV/UVM simulation-based verification where needed
— testbench architecture, VIP integration, coverage closure
● Collaborate closely with RTL design and architecture teams to debug counterexamples, refine specifications,
and drive verification closure
● Mentor junior verification engineers and contribute to formal verification methodology and best practices across the team
Required Skills & Experience
● 8+ years of verification experience, with substantial hands-on Formal Verification (FPV)
ownership
● Strong expertise with industry-standard formal tools — Cadence JasperGold and/or Synopsys
VC Formal
● Proven experience verifying complex, high-speed protocol IP — DDR, PCIe, and/or Ethernet strongly preferred
● Solid System Verilog and UVM expertise, with the ability to work across both formal and simulation-based verification flows
● Solid understanding of AMBA protocols (AXI/AHB/APB) and general SoC-level verification concepts
● Experience with assertion IP (AIP) development and formal connectivity/architectural verification is a strong plus
● Excellent debugging skills and ability to work directly with design/architecture teams to resolve complex issues
Good to Have
● Experience with high-speed SerDes or PHY-layer verification
● Exposure to low-power verification and UPF-based formal flows
● Prior experience mentoring teams or leading formal verification efforts on a project
