Job Overview:

The Theorem Proving Engineering role, you will analyze new data path RTL designs and underlying algorithms, develop abstract C models of these designs, establish equivalence between RTL and C with a commercial checker (SLEC), and formally verify correctness of the models with respect to a high-level architectural specification using the ACL2 theorem prover.

You will work closely with designers and verification engineers in various Arm projects, to enable our verification methodology throughout the company.

You will contribute to the infrastructure of our verification effort, e.g., by improving interfaces with SLEC and ACL2.

You will consider and potentially pursue applications of interactive theorem proving to other components of Arm processors.

Required Skills and Experience:

* MS or PhD in Computer Science or Mathematics.

* Demonstrated strong ability for rigorous mathematical reasoning and familiarity with floating-point arithmetic.

* Understanding of standard algorithms and techniques used in the implementation of elementary arithmetic operations

* C programming experience and a reading knowledge of basic Verilog.

* Ability to collaborate and contribute in a remote working environment.

Desirable Experience:

* Demonstrated ability to develop complex mathematical proofs.

* Experience and demonstrated expertise in interactive theorem proving, especially in the use of ACL2.

* Familiarity with commercial sequential logic equivalence checkers.

* General knowledge of aspects of CPU/GPU microarchitecture, e.g., out-of-order execution and memory systems.

In Return:

You will work on a modern internal platform used by engineering teams across the organization and globe.

You will develop your skills across cloud, software and platform engineering.

We offer a collaborative environment focused on continuous improvement and learning.

Hybrid Working at Arm:

Arm's hybrid approach to working is centered around flexibility, where we split our time between the office and other locations to get our work done. Within that framework, we empower groups and teams to determine their own particular hybrid working pattern, depending on the work and the team's needs. Details of what this means for each role will be shared upon application. In some cases, the flexibility we can offer is limited by local legal, regulatory, tax, or other considerations, and where this is the case, we will collaborate with you to find the best solution. Please talk to us to find out more about what this could look like for you.

Salary Range:

$198,100-$268,000 per year
We value people as individuals and our dedication is to reward people competitively and equitably for the work they do and the skills and experience they bring to Arm. Salary is only one component of Arm's offering. The total reward package will be shared with candidates during the recruitment and selection process.
