Full job description

About the role Own verification of our AI compute core - tensor pipelines, MAC arrays, accumulator logic, and the compute ↔ memory interconnect. Work with chip-design and software teams driving DensityAI's AI accelerator program from first silicon through scale-out.

What you'll do

  • Own verification of our AI compute core - tensor pipelines, MAC arrays, accumulator logic, and the compute ↔ memory interconnect

  • Use and develop AI-assisted tool flows to accelerate datapath verification timelines

What we're looking for

  • Exceptional abilities in datapath verification (tensor pipelines, MAC arrays, FP / INT accumulators) using SystemVerilog and UVM

  • 5+ years verifying compute-heavy ASIC blocks (GPU, NPU, DSP, or AI accelerator)

  • Strong understanding of numerical correctness (FP rounding, denormals, saturation) and golden-model comparison

  • Hands-on with constrained-random verification, coverage-driven closure, and debug across long pipelines

  • (Optional) Formal methods, custom golden models in C / C++ / Python, ML-framework familiarity, or post-silicon datapath bring-up

Compensation Final offers depend on level, location, and skills relevant to the role. Additional compensation: equity grant per company guidelines; medical / dental / vision; 401(k); standard PTO.

Visa Sponsorship DensityAI sponsors qualified candidates for H-1B, O-1, TN, E-3, and other employment-based visas, and we welcome applicants on F-1 OPT and STEM-OPT. Work authorization is required at start; we provide immigration support to secure or transfer status.

Export Controls Aspects of this role may involve access to information subject to U.S. export controls (EAR/ITAR). We may discuss licensing or scope adjustments during the interview.
