What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Formal Hardware Verification Engineer position at Correct Designs?
Senior Formal Verification Engineer
Looking for new challenges? Would you like the variety of a contract position along with long term stability and benefits? Correct Designs can give it all to you.
Correct Designs is currently seeking talented Formal Verification Engineers with experience working with a formal verification tool: Cadence Jasper, Mentor Quest FV or Synopsys VC Formal (Hector). Correct Designs has opportunities in a wide range of products including projects in AI and Machine Learning, processor fabric subsystems, SOC/ASIC products for vision processing, aerospace FPGAs, medical electronics, RISC-V based SoC, ARM based peripherals, and mixed signal DSPs. Successful candidates for this role will support verification of advanced CPU/GPU based SOCs.
Correct Designs is NOT the typical contracting, staff augmentation firm. Our engineers have respected long term roles with generous hourly rates in excellent team environments. A typical contract may last 3 years, although we have shorter and even longer term work available. We are well respected in the Design Verification community with clients always seeking new CDI engineers. If you need a few months off between contracts you can take that break and know there will be plenty of work available when you return. If you like the stability of always working, simply move to the next contract with little time off. Correct Designs does provide health care and retirement plan benefits.
We are based in Austin, Texas with clients throughout the US. This position is located in Austin, TX. We would prefer someone located in Austin, TX, but we are open to remote work.
Whether you are an experienced veteran looking for new challenges, or a talented engineer seeking to broaden your experience, we can offer exciting options for your career.
