Senior AI Formal Verification Engineer

NVIDIA NVIDIA · Semiconductors · Tel Aviv, Israel +2

Senior AI Formal Verification Engineer to enhance in-house formal tools with AI, leveraging LLMs and ML to automate intent-to-proof workflows and debug complex chips. Role involves architecting methodologies, developing AI agents, and creating AI-based debug assistants.

What you'd actually do

  1. In-House Tool Evolution: Partner closely with internal CAD teams to integrate AI capabilities directly into our proprietary FV infrastructure.
  2. Methodology Architecture: Define and evolve the FV team’s specialized methodologies, moving from manual property writing to AI-automated assertions.
  3. Next-Gen Orchestration: Develop and integrate AI agents and ML models that interface with our toolchain to automate "intent-to-assertion" workflows and optimize coverage and convergence.
  4. Intelligent Debugging: Create AI-based debug assistants that analyze formal counter-examples, categorize failures, and autonomously suggest fixes for complex logic problems.
  5. Collaborative Intelligence: Act as the bridge between the FV team, Design Technology AI, and CAD groups to ensure our AI solutions provide end-to-end efficiency from RTL to A0 tapeout.
