Midcore Design Verification Engineer

Job summary

Responsibilities

Compensation for all engineers at Tenstorrent ranges from $100k - $500k including base and variable compensation targets. Experience, skills, education, background and location all impact the actual offer made.

• Gain deep hands-on experience verifying high-performance, out-of-order RISC-V CPU cores.
• Learn how CPU microarchitecture decisions translate into RTL and how those designs are verified against architectural intent.
• Develop expertise in advanced verification techniques for complex processor pipelines and interacting subsystems.
• Work closely with CPU architects and RTL engineers to understand the full design lifecycle from specification through silicon.
• Build experience with the challenges of verifying next-generation CPUs designed for AI, HPC, and high-performance computing systems.

What they're looking for

• A hands-on verification engineer who enjoys understanding how CPUs work and finding the bugs others miss.
• Comfortable working across architecture, microarchitecture, RTL, and verification to understand complex CPU behavior.
• A strong problem solver who can debug failures, identify root causes, and work collaboratively toward solutions.
• Organized and self-motivated, with the ability to take ownership of verification tasks while working effectively within a larger team.
• Curious about high-performance processors, RISC-V, and the challenges of verifying increasingly complex CPU designs.
