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.
