Job description

About the role

Own block- and SOC-level formal verification, debug, and proof convergence for our AI accelerator silicon. Work with chip-design and software teams driving DensityAI's AI accelerator program from first silicon through scale-out.

What you'll do

  • Own block- and SOC-level formal verification, debug, and proof convergence for our AI accelerator silicon
  • Use and develop AI-assisted tool flows — including AI agents for proof guidance — to accelerate convergence on complex designs

What we're looking for

  • Exceptional abilities in formal verification: property authoring (SVA / PSL), proof strategies, and tool-flow ownership
  • Master's + 8 years of experience in block- and full-chip formal verification on complex SOCs
  • Demonstrated ability to debug proof failures and drive convergence in collaboration with RTL designers and architects
  • Hands-on with industry-standard formal tools (Synopsys VC Formal, Cadence Jasper, or equivalent)
  • (Optional) Security verification, processor verification, equivalence checking, or AMS / IP-flow exposure

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.

Equal Opportunity

DensityAI is an Equal Opportunity Employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religious creed, national origin, ancestry, physical or mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, age (40+), sexual orientation, military or veteran status, pregnancy, or any other status protected by law. We comply with the California CROWN Act and provide reasonable accommodations on request.

Full compensation packages are based on candidate experience and relevant certifications.

Visa sponsorship record

No public sponsorship records found

We didn't find H-1B, H-1B1, E-3 or green card (PERM) filings under the name DensityAI in the Department of Labor and USCIS data. That doesn't mean the job can't be sponsored — the company may file under a different legal name, be new to sponsorship, or sponsor a visa that isn't in these datasets (for example H-2B or J-1).

Tip: ask the recruiter early, in writing, which visa they sponsor and whether they cover the legal and filing fees.

Which visas can work for this job

  • Mentioned in the listing

    H-1B, OPT

  • H-1B cap-exempt employer

    Regular cap-subject employer — a new H-1B needs to win the lottery in March (unless you already hold cap-counted H-1B status).

  • O-1 (extraordinary ability)

    For candidates with awards, publications, press, a high salary or critical roles at distinguished organizations. No cap, no lottery; the employer files a petition.
