Python Web Developer Intern Jobs in Cumberland, RI

At Tenstorrent, we believe the future of computing must be open, which is why our interns don't just watch from the sidelines - they help build the core of it. We provide a "code-to-career" pipeline where students collaborate with industry experts to solve high-stakes problems in RISC-V and AI hardware-software co-design. By joining us, you are taking an internship to democratize high-performance computers that are accessible to everyone.

As a Design Verification Engineer Intern on the SoC Digital Verification team, you will help ensure the functional correctness and robustness of Tenstorrent's next-generation RISCV and AI accelerator SoCs. You will work on building and improving modern verification environments, developing tests and checkers, and analyzing coverage to sign off complex digital IP and subsystems. Your work directly contributes to the reliability of the chips that power our AI and highperformance computing roadmap.

We are looking for a minimum of 3 months for this role with the potential for extension to 6 months.

This role is hybrid, based in our Boston, MA office.

Who you are

• Pursuing a B.S. , M.S. or PhD. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field with a focus on digital design and verification.
• Strong understanding of digital logic design and computer architecture (pipelines, caches, interconnects, memory systems).
• Familiar with HDLs such as Verilog/SystemVerilog, and interested in learning Formal verification, Cocotb, and UVMbased verification methodologies.
• Comfortable working in Linux-based development environments and using scripting languages (e.g., Python, Shell, Perl) to automate tasks.
• Detail-oriented problem solver who enjoys debugging complex issues, reasoning about corner cases, and working from specifications.
• Collaborative team member with clear communication skills, able to document work and discuss tradeoffs with RTL, architecture, and validation teams.

What We Need

• Help develop and maintain SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches for SoC IP blocks and subsystems, including stimulus, checkers, and scoreboards.
• Write and refine verification test plans from architectural and microarchitectural specifications, with a strong focus on corner cases and coverage.
• Develop constrainedrandom and directed tests, run regressions, and triage failures by working closely with RTL designers to root-cause issues.
• Analyze functional and code coverage results, identify gaps, and propose additional tests or checks to drive coverage closure.
• Contribute to automation and infrastructure (scripts, Makefiles, CI hooks, dashboards) that improve verification productivity and debug turnaround time.
• Partner with crossfunctional teams (architecture, design, performance, validation) to align on expected behavior and signoff criteria for silicon.
• Have impact measured through coverage metrics achieved, quality and reproducibility of bugs found, and robustness of the verification environment you help build.

What You Will Learn

• Endtoend SoC design and verification flow for cuttingedge RISCV and AI accelerator architectures.
• Industrystandard verification methodologies (SystemVerilog/UVM), including testbench architecture, stimulus generation, and scoreboard/checker design.
• Hands-on experience with simulation, regression, and coverage tools used in largescale industrial verification environments.
• How to read and interpret hardware specifications, microarchitecture documents, and timing diagrams, and translate them into actionable tests and assertions.
• Exposure to highperformance interconnects, memory controllers, and accelerators, and how they are verified at IP, subsystem, and SoC levels.
• Best practices for collaborating in a silicon development team, including code review, documentation, and crosssite communication.
