Tenstorrent is leading the industry on cutting-edge AI technology, revolutionizing performance expectations, ease of use, and cost efficiency. With AI redefining the computing paradigm, solutions must evolve to unify innovations in software models, compilers, platforms, networking, and semiconductors. Our diverse team of technologists have developed a high performance RISC-V CPU from scratch, and share a passion for AI and a deep desire to build the best AI platform possible. We value collaboration, curiosity, and a commitment to solving hard problems. We are growing our team and looking for contributors of all seniorities.
We are seeking a Digital Verification Engineer on a contract basis to contribute to our verification efforts.
This role is flexible—candidates can be based in the US or Canada, and we are open to remote work.
Responsibilities:
- Lead the verification of Tenstorrent’s digital IP and SoC logic, leveraging advanced verification methodologies.
- Develop and execute test plans to validate functionality, performance, and power efficiency.
- Design and implement UVM-based testbenches, checkers, models, assertions, and coverage metrics.
- Develop C/C++/Python-based tests and simulation environments to validate hardware designs.
- Drive FPGA prototyping and emulation to accelerate pre-silicon validation.
- Analyze and improve verification coverage while optimizing execution for tape-out readiness.
- Collaborate with architects, RTL designers, and post-silicon teams to ensure verification closure.
Experience & Qualifications:
- Substantial experience in digital verification, with a strong understanding of SoC and IP verification methodologies.
- Experience with Ethernet, PCIe, and AXI verification.
- Expertise in SystemVerilog (UVM), SystemC, and coverage-driven constrained random verification.
- Strong programming skills in C/C++ and scripting languages (Python, Perl, Tcl, Bash, Make).
- Experience with functional coverage, assertions, and formal verification techniques.
- Hands-on experience with FPGA prototyping, emulation, or hardware acceleration is a plus.
- Deep knowledge of computer architecture, power/performance verification, and SoC validation.
- Ability to work independently in a remote or hybrid environment.
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
