THE ROLE:

AMD is looking for a Formal Verification System Designer passionate about creating & driving cutting-edge techniques across the full landscape of numerical hardware design challenges from numerical machine specifications, algorithm & architecture design, modelling, RTL creation, high/higher level synthesis and formal verification across the design abstractions. The ideal candidate will have a proven interest in the intersection of mathematics and hardware engineering. In this role the candidate will work with key members of the GPU CTO office in conjunction with strategic members of the GPU division whether architecture, modelling, design, formal verification and high-level synthesis teams. The candidate will have full project ownership with projects culminating in multiple talks to diverse audiences. 

You will be a member of a core team of incredibly talented industry specialists and will work on the latest challenges being generated by our rapidly evolving graphics IP.

THE PERSON:

The ideal candidate should have demonstrated cross discipline research potential between computer science, hardware engineering and mathematics. They will be able to communicate effectively with mixed discipline audiences and enjoy real time problem solving with others.   

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Consultancy - formal verification for advanced numerical hardware design
• Component Verification - develop & deploy formal verification for highly parametersized numerical hardware components
• Component Generator Output Verification - augment generator to produce performant formal verification testbench
• Component Generator Verification - develop strategies to formally prove component generators
• Hardware Rewriter Verification - develop & deploy formal verification strategies to prove the output and then the rewriter itself to be formally correct
• Numerical Machine Specification Compiler Verification - develop techniques to prove the correctness of a compiler that produces C from numerical machine specifications
• Numerical Algorithm Verification - prove the correctness/application level acceptability of numerical algorithms, perform numerical error analysis 
• Exploit the mixed disciplinary group and its techniques to bring multiple tools & techniques to bear on the project
• Present findings to multiple internal and external audiences, enabling handover and pave the path to production

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Experience in one and interest in the other of A) mathematics, numerical computation B) hardware engineering, computer arithmetic
• Experience in a subset of hardware, software & scripting languages: C , SystemC, System Verilog, Python and mathematics packages
• Experience in formal verification techniques and tools (e.g. Cadence Jasper, Synopsys VCFormal)

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• Undergrad degree required.  Master's degree or PhD in Computer Science/Computer Engineering/Electrical Engineering/Mathematics is preferred. 

This role is not eligible for Visa sponsorship.
