About the job
Waymo is a pioneering company in autonomous driving technology, dedicated to becoming the world's most trusted driver. Originating from the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, we focus on advancing the Waymo Driver—The World’s Most Experienced Driver™—to enhance mobility access and prevent traffic-related fatalities. The Waymo Driver powers our fully autonomous ride-hailing service, having completed over ten million rider-only trips and amassed more than 100 million miles of real-world driving and tens of billions of miles in simulation across 15+ U. S. states.
Our Compute Team plays a vital role in this mission by delivering the compute platform that runs the software stack of our fully autonomous vehicles. We design and develop high-performance custom silicon and system-level compute architectures that break barriers in performance, power, and latency. Our multidisciplinary team is searching for curious and skilled individuals to contribute to one of the highest performance automotive compute platforms in the world.
This position follows a hybrid work schedule and reports to a Silicon Engineering Lead.
Your Responsibilities:
- Define and execute the formal verification strategy for first-pass silicon success. Own the formal verification sign-off approach across intricate IP and SoC designs using advanced formal techniques (e.g., Bounded Model Checking, Datapath Validation, Connectivity, Sequential LEC, etc.).
- Design and implement robust and scalable formal verification environments. Create and deploy reusable formal testbenches, methodology flows, and comprehensive SVA assertion suites for systematic application across multiple design blocks and projects.
- Provide technical leadership and mentorship. Act as the team’s formal Subject Matter Expert by training logic designers and verification engineers to effectively implement formal methods in their workflows.
- Engage in strategic planning and execute test plans. Collaborate with Architecture and Design teams to translate complex system and IP specifications into thorough formal verification test plans.
- Enhance FV Infrastructure and Reporting. Maintain and improve continuous integration, regression flows, and dashboards to deliver clear, actionable formal verification status and sign-off metrics.
