CPU Core Design Verification Manager

Who You Are

• 15+ years of CPU/DV experience, including 7+ years leading verification teams, with strong hands-on expertise in high-performance, out-of-order CPU verification.
• Deep microarchitecture & verification expertise, including ISA, RTL, UVM/CVM, testbench development, regressions, coverage, and complex debug.
• Strong people and technical leadership, with experience hiring, mentoring, developing engineers, and setting verification strategy and methodology across teams.
• Highly collaborative and execution-focused, comfortable working across time zones and driving cross-functional debug with Design, DV, Emulation, and Post-Silicon teams, including P0 issues and AI-assisted verification workflows.

What We Need

• Build and lead the Bangalore CPU Core DV team, owning hiring, mentoring, performance management, and team growth.
• Own verification strategy and execution for high-performance, out-of-order RISC-V CPU cores, covering ISA, microarchitecture, UVM/CVM methodology, infrastructure, and coverage.
• Drive cross-site execution with DV and design leads in Santa Clara and Austin, aligning coverage, schedules, tapeout readiness, and closure of critical bugs and coverage gaps.
• Stay technically engaged while leading the team, contributing to debug, code/testplan and architecture reviews, and championing AI-assisted tools for triage, stimulus generation, and coverage analysis.

What You Will Learn

• How Tenstorrent designs and verifies high-performance RISC-V CPU cores and clusters across a globally distributed organization.
• How to scale a verification team and its infrastructure across core, cluster, and chip-level environments spanning multiple sites.
• Techniques for spanning pre-silicon, emulation, and post-silicon verification with shared stimulus and methodology.
• How Tenstorrent applies AI across the DV lifecycle — from test planning and stimulus through regression debug, triage, and coverage analysis — using workflows designed to keep context tight and outputs auditable.
• How to build and run a high-performing verification organization inside a fast-growing, technically ambitious silicon company.
