How much do formal verification jobs pay per hour?

As of Sep 2, 2026, the average hourly pay for formal verification in the United States is $20.70, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $15.38 and $21.88 per hour, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is a formal verification?

A Formal Verification job involves using mathematical techniques to prove the correctness of hardware or software designs. Engineers in this role apply formal methods, such as model checking and theorem proving, to ensure that a system behaves as intended without relying solely on traditional testing. This process helps detect critical design flaws early, improving reliability and reducing costly errors. Formal verification is widely used in safety-critical industries like aerospace, automotive, and semiconductor design.

What does a formal verification engineer do?

A Formal Verification engineer's daily responsibilities usually include developing and applying formal models to hardware or software designs, writing assertions, and using verification tools to prove or disprove correctness properties. Collaboration with design, simulation, and verification teams is common to clarify specifications and address any verification gaps. Engineers frequently analyze failures or counterexamples, document findings, and suggest design improvements. This role often involves balancing multiple projects, staying aligned with tight development schedules, and ensuring the highest possible design quality before production.

What skills and qualifications are needed for formal verification?

To thrive in Formal Verification, you need a strong background in computer science, mathematics, and logical reasoning, often supported by a relevant degree in engineering or computer science. Familiarity with formal verification tools such as ModelSim, JasperGold, SystemVerilog Assertions, and proficiency in hardware description languages like Verilog or VHDL are important, and industry certifications can be a plus. Excellent analytical thinking, attention to detail, and strong communication skills help in interpreting specifications and collaborating with cross-functional teams. These skills are crucial to rigorously ensuring hardware or software designs function correctly and meet industry safety and correctness standards.

Job description

Amazon's Leo Silicon Team is building next-generation modem SoCs for broadband
communication, a constellation of low Earth orbit satellites designed to deliver fast, affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities around the world. Our Design Verification team is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Senior Formal Verification Engineer to drive formal verification efforts across our complex modem SoC designs.
In this role, you will apply rigorous mathematical methods to prove design correctness and
uncover corner-case bugs that escape simulation-based verification. You will serve as a subject matter expert in formal verification methodologies, mentor engineers across the team, and collaborate closely with RTL designers, simulation-based DV engineers, emulation engineers, and architects to shift verification left and improve overall silicon quality

This is a high-impact role on a team that is scaling verification capabilities with each successive tape-
out and actively integrating AI-centric verification methodologies.
Export Control Requirement:
Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S

as a refugee or granted asylum.
Key job responsibilities
Develop and execute formal verification strategies using JasperGold and/or Questa
Formal for property checking (FPV), connectivity checking (CC), register verification,
and sequential equivalence checking (SEQ)
Write, review, and debug SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) - including assumptions,
assertions, and cover properties - to verify complex modem SoC design behaviors
across NOC, interconnect, modem IPs and control logic
Drive convergence on formal proofs by applying abstraction techniques, complexity
reduction strategies, and assume-guarantee reasoning
Collaborate with RTL designers, architects, and simulation-based DV engineers to
define verification plans that incorporate formal methods alongside UVM-based
simulation and emulation approaches
Champion a "formal-first" verification strategy by identifying and pursuing
opportunities to apply formal verification to new design blocks - building on our
established formal verification checklist deployed across SoC and NoC partitions
Develop reusable formal verification infrastructure, including constraint libraries,
parameterized property templates, and automated regression flows integrated into our
CI/CD verification pipeline
Contribute to coverage closure strategies by leveraging formal coverage analysis to
complement simulation-driven functional coverage
Mentor and guide DV engineers in formal verification techniques, SVA best practices,
and proof convergence strategies
Partner with EDA vendors to evaluate new formal verification capabilities and drive
tool improvements that benefit the team
