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.

Visa sponsorship record
No public sponsorship records foundWe 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.
