What You'll Do Here- Apply model checking and formal property verification to RTL blocks, memory subsystems, and interconnects, providing complete coverage wherever possible, using tools such as JasperGold or VC-Formal.
- Develop and maintain machine-checked proofs for critical compiler transformations, ensuring correctness of lowering passes from our high-level programming model down to hardware
- Build embeddings of our hardware description languages and simulator models into interactive theorem provers (e.g. Lean 4, Rocq, Isabelle/HOL), and use those embeddings to prove functional correctness and microarchitectural properties directly against the designs
- Collaborate with architecture, compiler, and silicon verification teams to identify correctness properties worth proving and translate them into tractable proof obligations
- Drive methodology for integrating formal tools (JasperGold, SymbiYosys, or equivalent) into our existing practices
Who You Are- Hands-on experience with hardware model checking-writing SVA/PSL properties, running bounded or unbounded proofs, and closing out formal verification targets at block or subsystem level
- Practical experience with at least one interactive theorem prover (Lean, Coq, Isabelle/HOL, Agda, or similar)
- Experience embedding an existing language or IR into a theorem prover-whether an HDL, compiler IR, ISA, or similar-is a strong plus
- Experience with compiler correctness proofs or verified compilation (e.g. CompCert-style or translation validation) is a strong plus
- Comfort working across the hardware/software boundary: you understand both RTL microarchitecture and compiler IR design well enough to find the correctness properties that matter
- Able to work in a small team where the scope of what you own will be large and shift quickly
