Role Description

As a senior member of Tensordyne’s ASIC team, you will be responsible for the pre-silicon correctness and quality of a high-performance and low-power convolutional neural network accelerator ASIC that forms the core of the company’s flagship perception module product for autonomous driving applications. This ASIC’s design closely couples novel computational accelerator units with 3rd-party SoC IP blocks to form an end-to-end vision perception module that achieves record-breaking computational performance at low power.

Your responsibilities will be wide-ranging and include:

• Ensuring the pre-silicon correctness and quality of a multi-million gate ASIC that integrates computational accelerators and 3rd-party SoC IP blocks.
• SoC/Subsystem verification of embedded CPUs such as ARM/RISC-V and interconnect subsystem (including C and assembly diag validation).
• Developing the block-level, sub-system and full-chip verification environment and tests to implement test plans.
• Working closely with design and architecture teams to understand the functional and performance goals of the design.
• Triage and debug functional and performance issues with the design-under-test.
• Handling bug tracking and coverage convergence.
• Performing diagnostic and post-silicon validation tests in the lab.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of ASIC verification experience.
• Knowledge of ARM/MIPS/RISC-V Architectures, Memory hierarchy, Cache coherency, Virtual memory, Multicore CPU operation.
• Familiarity with AMBA/APB/AXI Protocol.
• Familiarity with processor peripheral interfaces like SPI, eMMC, *MII, GPIO, I2C.
• Excellent Verilog/System Verilog programming skills.
• Experience with UVM (or similar).
• Deep understanding of object-oriented programming principles, constrained random stimulus, and a coverage-driven verification approach.
• Scripting experience (Python, Perl, TCL, shell programming) highly desirable.
• Interest to explore AI architectures for convolution, transformer and other kinds of workloads.
• Self-starter and highly motivated to work in a dynamic start-up environment.
• B.S. degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering (or similar field).

Benefits

• Comprehensive benefits and competitive compensation.
• Flexible spending and Bonusly awards.
• Tailored benefits for health and financial security, catering to different life stages.
