2. Design and implement formal verification strategies to achieve our design quality goals.
3. Root-cause design issues in collaboration with other engineers.
4. Research new formal verification techniques and continuously drive the scope of what can be achieved with formal verification.
5. Create verification plans, develop and maintain formal methodology and complex benches.
6. Track and report verification metrics and closure.
7. Participate in all stages of design specification definition providing feedback from the verification perspective.
8. Be responsible for the definition, effort estimation and tracking of your own work.
9. Be able to influence and advance our GPU verification methodology.
10. Have the opportunity to lead, coach and mentor other members of the team.
11. Participate in design and verification reviews and recommend improvements.
12. Contribute to team shared knowledge via open discussions and presentations.

1. Good knowledge on Formal Verification concepts, methodology and tools.
2. Experience in deploying Formal Verification on complex micro-architectures.
3. Ability to come up with bespoke techniques to drive exhaustive proofs and perform deep bug-hunting.
4. Exposure to advanced Formal Verification techniques like abstractions, invariants, SEC, etc.
5. Knowledge of complex standard bus protocols and relevant ABVIP integration.
6. Working knowledge of ASIC design methodologies, flows and tools.
7. Ability to plan, estimate and track your own work.
