United States onlyCode Metal is seeking a Research Engineer specializing in Formal Methods to join our team. In this role, you will work at the intersection of theory and practice, applying, implementing, and integrating testing and verification tools into Code Metal products.
You will collaborate closely with researchers and engineers to embed formal methods techniques into Code Metal workflows, driving innovation at the intersection of formal methods and artificial intelligence research.
Responsibilities
- Work closely with the research team to translate formal methods research into implemented solutions and integrate them into production-ready Code Metal products.
- Apply and adapt tools and frameworks to make formal verification accessible to practicing engineers.
- Conduct experiments to evaluate the applicability and effectiveness of formal methods on industrial-scale codebases.
- Collaborate across multidisciplinary teams, contributing to both research initiatives and production-grade solutions.
Requirements
Required Qualifications
- Advanced degree (Master’s or Ph.D.) in Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related field, with a focus on software engineering, formal methods, and programming languages.
- Strong programming skills in Python, C/C++, or Rust.
- Demonstrated proficiency in core software development practices, including: version control, code review, testing, continuous integration, build systems, and release pipelines.
- Combination of strong software engineering skills with a solid background in formal methods to build robust and maintainable systems.
- Familiarity with interactive and automated theorem provers (e.g., PVS, Coq, Lean, SMT solvers), static analyzers (e.g., Frama-C, Infer, Polyspace), and property-based testing libraries (e.g., QuickCheck, Hypothesis) is a strong plus.
- Expertise in one or more of the following areas: theorem proving, SMT solving, program synthesis, and static analysis.
