Sr Staff Engineer, SoC Formal Design Verification

Tenstorrent is seeking an engineer who will apply rigorous formal methods to validate correctness across Tenstorrent's AI SoCs and chiplets, integrating advanced property checking into our sign-off methodology.

This role is hybrid, based out of Boston, Toronto, Ottawa or Santa Clara.

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

• Formal verification expert with proficiency in JasperGold, VC Formal, or similar tools.
• Skilled in property/assertion development and formal coverage closure techniques.
• Comfortable integrating formal proof with simulation-based DV environments.
• Motivated by problem-solving, technical mentorship, and continuous improvement.

What We Need

• Architect and execute formal verification strategies for SoC and block-level designs.
• Develop property/assertion libraries, analyze proof results, and close unreachable coverage.
• Collaborate with RTL designers and architects to refine specifications and debug.
• Lead junior engineers in adopting state-of-the-art formal flows and methodologies.

What You Will Learn

• Advanced application of formal across AI SoC components including interconnects and CPUs.
• Integration of formal with simulation to achieve comprehensive sign-off coverage.
• Exposure to system-level formal verification across multi-chiplet AI platforms.
• Cutting-edge tooling and workflows to accelerate proof convergence and debug.
