Role Summary
The Formal Verification Engineer will verify the micro-architecture, build, and implementation of NVIDIA’s leading GPUs using formal verification tools. The role works with architects, designers, and pre- and post-silicon verification teams to establish verification scope, ensure correctness, and deliver formal verification results throughout the project cycle.
What You'll Do
- Identify key behaviors and write test plans for sophisticated designs.
- Implement test plans using environment assumptions, assertions, and cover properties.
- Develop abstraction models to obtain full or sufficiently bounded proofs.
- Drive formal tools to improve performance.
- Debug RTL to identify causes of failure scenarios.
- Develop flows and scripts and communicate formal verification coverage to partners.
