Sr. Engineer, SoC Design Verification – AI/ML Accelerator Chiplets

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Job Description

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.

Tenstorrent is seeking a SoC Design Verification Engineer on the AI/ML chiplet verification team, who will play a key role in ensuring the functionality, performance, and reliability of advanced AI/ML accelerator chiplets. Working closely with a diverse array of technical teams —including software, architecture, and IP design—you will design complex verification environments, develop structured test plans, and tackle exciting challenges to validate cutting-edge hardware.

This role is hybrid, based out of Toronto, ON or Ottawa, ON.

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

Proficient in SystemVerilog/UVM, Python, and C/C++, with strong design verification skills.
Experienced in collaborating with cross-functional teams (architecture, software, and IP teams) to develop test plans, infrastructure, and debug tightly coupled hardware/software.
Familiar with and excited by AI-assisted tools like Cursor or Claude Code to enhance productivity.
Hands-on experience with AI accelerator hardware, Network-on-Chip design, and/or embedded FW design is a plus.

What We Need

Collaborate with architecture, IP, and software teams to develop and execute comprehensive test plans for AI/ML accelerator chiplets.
Design and implement hybrid verification environments , coordinating several embedded firmware threads with traditional testbench components like monitors, transactors, and checkers.
Partner with software and architecture teams to drive performance verification and ensure chiplets meet competitive performance targets.

What You Will Learn

Deep knowledge of AI hardware architectures, including scalable accelerator designs, network-on-chip performance optimization, and multi-die scaling strategies.
Insight into silicon-to-software co-design principles , enabling AI accelerators that push the boundaries of performance and capabilities.

Tenstorrent offers a highly competitive compensation package and benefits, and we are an equal opportunity employer.

This offer of employment is contingent upon the applicant being eligible to access U.S. export-controlled technology. Due to U.S. export laws, including those codified in the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR), the Company is required to ensure compliance with these laws when transferring technology to nationals of certain countries (such as EAR Country Groups D:1, E1, and E2). These requirements apply to persons located in the U.S. and all countries outside the U.S. As the position offered will have direct and/or indirect access to information, systems, or technologies subject to these laws, the offer may be contingent upon your citizenship/permanent residency status or ability to obtain prior license approval from the U.S. Commerce Department or applicable federal agency. If employment is not possible due to U.S. export laws, any offer of employment will be rescinded.
