You will own CPU core-level verification, shaping how our out-of-order RISC-V CPUs behave in silicon.
This role is hybrid, based out of Austin, TX or Santa Clara, CA.
We welcome candidates at various experience levels for this role. During the interview process, candidates will be assessed for the appropriate level, and offers will align with that level, which may differ from the one in this posting.
Who You Are - You bring 8+ years in CPU verification or closely related digital design.
- You know high-performance out-of-order CPU microarchitecture in depth.
- You work comfortably with RTL, waveforms, logs, and complex debug scenarios.
- You communicate clearly across design, DV, emulation, and post-silicon teams.
What We Need - Plan and drive functional verification for CPU core features and microarchitectural scenarios.
- Develop UVM, assembly, and C/C++ stimulus for ISA and microarchitectural coverage.
- Develop/debug C++ functional models of RISC-V extensions and un-core components such as APIC and IOMMU.
- Debug simulation and emulation regressions using waveforms, logs, and RTL understanding.
- Build and refine coverage models to track and close architectural and microarchitectural coverage.
- Improve core, cluster, and chip-level testbenches and debug infrastructure.
- Support design bring-up across simulation, emulation, and post-silicon environments.
- Collaborate with design, test, and validation to deliver robust CPU cores and clusters.
What You Will Learn - How Tenstorrent designs and validates high-performance RISC-V CPU cores and clusters.
- Techniques for spanning pre-silicon, emulation, and post-silicon verification with shared stimulus.
- Ways to scale coverage, debug, and infrastructure across multiple CPU programs.
- How open hardware and software fit into Tenstorrent's broader compute roadmap.
