Lead Formal Verification Engineer

ADVANCE YOUR CAREER. ADVANCE THE WORLD. At AMD, we believe technology can change lives for the better. It can heal us, entertain us, and make us more connected, productive, and understanding of the world around us. And we’re looking for talent who feel the same: people who want to leave the planet better than they found it, those who don’t shy away from humanity’s challenges but are determined to help solve them.   AMD is powering the next generation of supercomputing, high-performance computing, cloud, and AI. Whether you’re designing next-gen processors, enabling AI breakthroughs, or creating go-to-market plans, every role at AMD contributes to something bigger — technology that moves the world forward.

AMD is seeking a Lead Formal Verification Engineer to help drive formal verification strategy, methodology, and adoption across next-generation graphics and GPU IP. This highly visible technical leadership role will partner closely with architecture, design, and verification teams to improve verification quality, scalability, and productivity across complex hardware projects. The successful candidate will play a key role in expanding formal verification across the development lifecycle, advancing verification methodologies, and influencing technical direction across a growing organization. This is an opportunity to work on industry-leading graphics technologies while helping shape the future of formal verification within AMD. THE PERSON: You are a recognized formal verification expert who enjoys solving complex technical challenges and driving innovation. You bring strong leadership and collaboration skills, can influence technical direction across teams, and are passionate about building scalable verification solutions that improve product quality and engineering efficiency.   KEY RESPONSIBLITIES: Define and drive formal verification strategy, methodology, and technical roadmap for graphics IP. Lead formal verification efforts for complex GPU and processor designs while improving coverage, quality, and scalability. Develop and deploy advanced verification techniques to solve challenging convergence and verification problems. Drive development of reusable infrastructure, automation, and workflows that improve verification productivity. Partner with architecture, design, and verification teams to influence design quality and verification planning. Research and evaluate emerging formal verification applications in areas such as security, safety, low power, and architectural verification.

In-depth knowledge of formal verification methodologies, algorithms, proof engines, and practical applications across complex digital designs. Proven expertise in SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA), property development, and abstract model creation. Expert-level experience with formal verification tools such as JasperGold, VC Formal, Murphi, theorem provers, or similar EDA solutions. Demonstrated success delivering high-quality verification for large-scale processor architectures, including GPU, CPU, AI accelerator, or other high-performance compute designs; strong understanding of computer architecture and graphics pipelines preferred. Proven experience developing formal verification infrastructure supporting applications such as functional property verification, datapath verification, equivalence checking, security verification, or related use cases. Experience solving challenging formal convergence problems and scaling formal verification through advanced techniques such as induction, abstraction, reduction, decomposition, and related approaches. ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: Undergrad degree required. Master or PhD degree in Computer Science/ Computer Engineering/ Electrical Engineering preferred.
