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 System Verilog 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., Jasper Gold, 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.## Job Type:Experienced Hire##
