Sr Engineer, Low Power Verification & Formal Equivalence
Core
Drive low power verification signoff and formal equivalence checks for advanced high-performance design blocks and sub-systems in the RTL-to-GDSII flow.
Role type
Senior IC verification engineer (low power & formal)
Builds
Static low power verification flows, UPF implementations, and logical equivalence checking (LEC) for chip design blocks.
Domain
Semiconductor / ASIC / SoC / Low Power Design
Deliverable
production ML models | product features | dashboards & analysis | research | client delivery | infrastructure | physical/clinical work
Required skills
UPF coding and debugging, static low power verification (RTL and post-PNR), Logical Equivalence Checking (LEC), formal ECO flows, Power Management library cells (ISO, LS, AON, Retention), ASIC/SoC design verification
Preferred skills
