MTS SILICON DESIGN ENGINEER  

THE ROLE: 

The Formal Lead Engineer will be responsible for driving the end‑to‑end formal verification strategy for complex IPs and subsystems. This role requires strong ownership of property-based formal verification, the ability to define and optimize formal flows, guide design/verification teams on best practices, and ensure high‑quality formal signoff. The engineer will also mentor and develop junior formal team members, enabling scaled adoption of formal methodologies across the organization.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Define the formal verification plan and methodology for assigned IPs or subsystems.
• Identify key design blocks for formal verification. 
• Establish scalable formal flows for property-based verification, assertion development, abstraction, and coverage measurement.
• Drive formal convergence through targeted abstraction, constraints, decomposition, and environment modeling.
• Own and deliver final formal signoff, ensuring thorough coverage and verification completeness.
• Build, maintain, and enhance reusable formal verification environments.
• Evaluate new formal technologies and recommend improvements to boost team productivity.
• Provide technical direction and resolve complex verification challenges across the team.
• Collaborate with RTL designers, DV engineers, architects, and methodology teams to ensure seamless integration of formal with simulation/UVM flows.
• Participate in design reviews and influence micro‑architecture for formal‑friendly implementation.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• 8–16 years of industry experience in formal verification or related verification domains.
• Experience leading or mentoring engineers.
• Exposure to UVM environments and simulation flows is a plus.
• Experience in Memory/PHY/Interface IPs (DDR/HBM/LPDDR/PCIE/AMBA etc.) is an advantage but not mandatory.

• Strong hands‑on expertise with formal verification tools (Synopsys VC Formal, JasperGold, Questa Formal / or equivalents).
• Deep understanding of property-based verification, SVA, PSL, proof techniques, formal modeling, abstraction, and coverage.
• Good knowledge of RTL design, digital logic, micro‑architecture, and verification methodologies.
• Experience driving formal signoff independently.
• Excellent problem‑solving ability and strong communication skills.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:  

• Bachelors or Masters degree in computer engineering/Electrical Engineering
