What are the responsibilities and job description for the Formal Verification Engineer position at AMD?
WHAT YOU DO AT AMD CHANGES EVERYTHING
At AMD, our mission is to build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences—from AI and data centers, to PCs, gaming and embedded systems. Grounded in a culture of innovation and collaboration, we believe real progress comes from bold ideas, human ingenuity and a shared passion to create something extraordinary. When you join AMD, you’ll discover the real differentiator is our culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world’s most important challenges—striving for execution excellence, while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives. Join us as we shape the future of AI and beyond. Together, we advance your career.
The Role
The Infinity Fabric network on the chip verification team is growing and looking for qualified candidates to help verify our configurable switches and die-to-die interconnect. Infinity Fabric is part of every new AMD product being developed for AI/ML, Client, Server, Graphic Accelerator, and Semi-Custom markets.
The Person
Team is seeking a highly skilled and motivated person to join our verification team. In this role, you will drive formal verification efforts across complex hardware designs, applying rigorous mathematical methods to prove design correctness and find corner-case bugs that escape simulation. You will serve as a subject matter expert in formal verification methodologies, mentor junior engineers, and collaborate with RTL designers, simulation-based verification engineers, and architects to shift verification left and improve overall design quality.
Key Responsiblities
Austin, TX; Boston, MA and Santa Clara, CA
This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
Benefits offered are described: AMD benefits at a glance.

Key Responsiblities
- Develop and execute formal verification strategies using VC Formal and/or JasperGold for property checking (FPV), connectivity checking (CC), register verification (FRV), and sequential equivalence checking (SEQ)
- Write, review, and debug SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) — including assumptions, assertions, and cover properties — to verify complex design behaviors
- Drive convergence on formal proofs by applying abstraction techniques, complexity reduction strategies, and assume-guarantee reasoning
- Collaborate with RTL designers and architects to define verification plans that incorporate formal methods alongside simulation-based approaches
- Identify and pursue opportunities to apply formal verification to new design blocks, championing a "formal-first" or "shift-left" verification strategy
- Develop reusable formal verification infrastructure, including constraint libraries, parameterized property templates, and automated regression flows
- Mentor and guide MTS and junior engineers in formal verification techniques and best practices
- Hands-on experience with VC Formal (Synopsys) and/or JasperGold (Cadence)
- Strong proficiency in SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) and formal property specification
- Experience with formal verification applications: FPV, connectivity checking, register verification, equivalence checking, and coverage analysis
- Familiarity with scripting languages (TCL, Python, Perl) for flow automation
- Minimum 8 years of experience in design verification with a strong focus on formal verification
- Bachelors or Masters degree in computer engineering/Electrical Engineering
