Role
Who you are
- BS/MS/PhD in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
- 15+ years of experience in CPU Design Verification (DV), including DV methodology, processes, testbench design, and quality requirements
- 8+ years of experience managing engineering teams, with a demonstrated ability to influence organizational objectives and align cross-functional teams
- Prior technical leadership in top-level CPU Design Verification
- Deep knowledge and understanding of computer architecture, hardware description languages and associated methodologies
- Exceptional planning and communication abilities
- Strong collaboration skills across sites and disciplines
What the job involves
- The RISC-V CPU Design Verification Engineering Leader will be responsible for the pre-silicon RTL verification of high performance CPU microarchitectures going into industry leading AI/ML architecture
- Provide strong leadership to expert engineers to develop and execute DV testplans for ISA and microarchitecture
- Collaborate with multi-functional leaders for the RTL, Physical Design, and CPU Performance teams
- Use SystemVerilog, UVM, C++ and scripting languages with industry-leading simulation tools and methodologies to verify complex CPU designs
- Negotiate program objectives with Architecture, Design and Software teams, and lead your team through planning, execution and closure
- Support individual development and goal definition, whilst aligning team vision for outstanding results
Our take
Advances in artificial intelligence apps, combined with a global chip shortage, are strong tailwinds for chip processor Tenstorrent. The semi-conducter developer is designing specialized chips for running artificial intelligence applications, building chips for what it calls "software 2.0".
The company’s unique approach is to build for this future software, which it believes will be written at a higher level. Combining this with conditional computing, Tenstorrent supports a scalable distributed network approach that is analogous to a human brain.
While the market for specialised AI hardware is destined to be gigantic, the company has to compete with a plethora of hopeful startups (as well as major tech companies like NVIDIA and Qualcomm). That said, Tenstorrent boasts an excellent trajectory so far, with its latest moves including unveiling its high-end Wormhole AI processors, and a partnership with LG which will see the development of chips for "Affectionate Intelligence".
