## Description

As a Formal Verification Engineer at NVIDIA, you will verify the design and implementation of the industry's leading GPUs. Your responsibilities will include verifying the micro-architecture using formal verification tools, defining the verification scope, and ensuring 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.

**Key Responsibilities:**

- Identify key behaviors for verification to write clear test plans for complex designs.

- Execute test plans using the latest formal techniques, including the development of environment assumptions, assertions, and cover properties.

- Reason about arithmetic designs and develop verification strategies targeted to manage complexity of arithmetic design verification using formal techniques.

- Understand and reason about C reference models and their control flows, including using debugging flows.

- Drive 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.

**Requirements:**

- BS/MS/PhD or equivalent experience in CS/CE/EE/Mathematics.

- Solid understanding of GPU/CPU architectures and designs.

- Strong analytical skills and ability to reason about arithmetic verification challenges.

- Knowledge of formal verification methodologies and techniques.

- Able to understand arithmetic operations like MUL, FMA, MMA.

- Hands-on experience with C, Verilog/System Verilog HDLs, temporal logic assertions.

- Excellent command of scripting using Python and Tcl.

- Experience with industry-strength formal verification tools.

- Excellent interpersonal skills, able to effectively collaborate and work with members of a distributed team.
