Job Description:
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.
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.
- Incorporate and execute security verification activities within regression and debug tests.
- Maintain and enhance existing functional verification infrastructure and methodology.
- Apply learnings from post-silicon validation to improve coverage and quality for future products.
Qualifications:
Minimum Qualifications
Basic Qualifications
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science with 10+ years of related experience.
• 7+ years of experience in ASIC/SoC verification with at least 3+ years focused on formal verification.
Preferred Qualifications
• Expertise in formal verification methodologies and tools (e.g., JasperGold, VC Formal, Questa Formal).
• Strong knowledge of System Verilog Assertions (SVA) and property-based verification.
• Deep understanding of digital design concepts, clock domain crossings, and low-power design techniques.
• Familiarity with UVM-based simulation environments and how formal complements dynamic verification.
• Scripting skills (Python, TCL, Perl) for automation and flow optimization.
• Ability to lead projects, work cross-functionally, and deliver under tight schedules.
• Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and a collaborative mindset.
Requirements listed would be obtained through a combination of industry relevant job experience, internship experiences and or schoolwork/classes/research.
