Sr Design Verification Engineer

Ventana is building the highest-performance RISC-V CPUs on the planet—designed for data center, AI, and edge workloads, with real silicon, not slideware.

Our second-generation Veyron core (V2) is on track to ship early next year, featuring an aggressive wide-issue pipeline and built in 4nm. Development on Veyron V3 is ramping now, with even greater performance and deep AI platform integration. This is your opportunity to work alongside engineers who built iconic processors like the AMD K6 and the first 64-bit ARM server processor (X-Gene at Applied Micro)—bringing decades of CPU innovation to a clean-slate, open-standards future.

We are looking to fill multiple Design Verification openings to continue the development of its innovative RISC‑V processors and subsystems.

• Develop and execute verification plans for units and features.
• Construct test benches, scoreboards, and stimulus generators.
• Implement functional coverage models.
• Debug designs in simulation, prototyping platforms, and silicon.

• Roles requiring both 4+ and 8+ years industry experience
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in related engineering field
• Ability to work independently and across geographies
• Strong domain knowledge of computer architecture

• System Verilog verification development experience
• Testbench construction using UVM or analogous methodologies
• Scoreboards and stimulus generators for complex units
• Industry experience with CPU microarchitecture (e.g. x86, ARM, SPARC, MIPS, RISC‑V, POWER) and/or coherent caching systems
• Software development experience in compiled (C/C++) and interpreted (Python) languages
• Unit or feature ownership throughout the project lifecycle
• Post‑silicon validation
