About the Role

Tenstorrent is revolutionizing AI technology with cutting-edge solutions that redefine performance, ease of use, and cost efficiency. Our Tensix team is building custom AI compute cores, RISC-V CPUs, and chiplet-based architectures for datacenter, edge, and automotive AI. Design Verification Engineers on this team validate compute IP and subsystems and build scalable DV infrastructure.

Responsibilities

  • Contribute to verification of Tensix IP and subsystems from early planning through tape-out, owning coverage goals and driving them to closure.
  • Build and maintain reusable verification environments, agents, scoreboards, and supporting infrastructure in SystemVerilog and Python.
  • Develop constrained-random and directed tests and close functional, code, and assertion coverage using data-driven approaches.
  • Debug complex issues across RTL and testbench while collaborating with design, firmware, compiler, and architecture teams.
  • Help evolve DV infrastructure including regression flows, CI/CD integration, EDA compute environments, and reproducible setups.

Requirements

  • Experienced in modern verification methodologies with strong SystemVerilog skills and exposure to structured testbench development.
  • Comfortable working from block-level to system-level verification and reasoning about microarchitecture behavior from specs and waveforms.
  • Proficient in Linux environments with Python, or Bash scripting for automate builds, parse logs, manage CI pipelines.
  • Skilled in coverage-driven verification and confident debugging across RTL, testbench, and workload scenarios.
  • Motivated by AI hardware and eager to learn verification strategies for new architectures and domains.
  • Exposure to functional safety (FuSa) verification concepts for automotive AI workloads.
  • Familiarity with formal verification methodologies, SVA (SystemVerilog Assertions), or formal property verification for complex control logic and microarchitectural corner cases.
