+ Lead ROI analysis and recommend appropriate use of formal verification vs dynamic validation techniques for relevant parts of the CPU
+ Document formal test plans and drive technical reviews of plans and proofs with design and architecture teams
+ Work with or contribute to Dynamic functional verification execution for the microarchitectural block
+ Post-silicon failure debug and sighting resolution
+ Mentor junior team members
+ Develop validation automation tools to accelerate execution
+ Collaborate on validation approach and strategy beyond immediate team
+ Work with global Formal verification experts and design teams within the organization
