Theorem Proving Engineer

Arm · Austin, TX · 3 days ago
HybridEngineering$198k–$268k/yrFull-time

About the role

You will analyze new data path RTL designs and underlying algorithms, develop abstract C models of these designs, establish equivalence between RTL and C with a commercial checker (SLEC), and formally verify correctness of the models with respect to a high-level architectural specification using the ACL2 theorem prover.

You will work closely with designers and verification engineers in various Arm projects, to enable our verification methodology throughout the company.

You will contribute to the infrastructure of our verification effort, e.g., by improving interfaces with SLEC and ACL2.

You will consider and potentially pursue applications of interactive theorem proving to other components of Arm processors.
