Open positions

Hardware Engineer

Hybrid · Markham

At NUVACORE we're designing a new general-purpose CPU core for the sustained, intensive demands of AI infrastructure and agentic computing, not the workloads of the past. We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Hardware Board Design Engineer to drive the architecture, design, and development of next-generation, high-performance, and energy-efficient CPU server solutions for data center applications. In this role, you will be responsible for the end-to-end hardware development life cycle, from initial concept and feasibility studies to schematic capture, PCB layout oversight, component s…

Compiler and ToolChain Engineer

Hybrid

At NUVACORE we're designing a new general-purpose CPU core for the sustained, intensive demands of AI infrastructure and agentic computing, not the workloads of the past. Our software organization works at the intersection of CPU architecture, silicon design, firmware, operating systems, toolchains, and platform software — developing the compiler toolchains, OS enablement, firmware, and validation infrastructure that ensure new processor capabilities are fully realized in software. We're hiring a Compiler & Toolchain Engineer to accelerate and harden the toolchains and libraries that help unl…

CPU Micro-Architect / RTL (Lead & IC Engineers)

Hybrid

At NUVACORE we're designing a new general-purpose CPU core for the sustained, intensive demands of AI infrastructure and agentic computing, not the workloads of the past.As engineers within the CPU team and as leads of CPU units (fetch, decode/rename, scalar execute, fp/vector execute, load/store, memory management/TLB, prefetching, debug/trace, system/IO, and multi-level cache subsystem), you will be writing specifications and developing RTL for the CPU which targets and delivers industry leading power, performance, and area. THE ROLE As a CPU Micro-Architect/RTL Engineer, you will participa…

CPU Software Intern

Hybrid · Markham

At NUVACORE we're designing a new general-purpose CPU core for the sustained, intensive demands of AI infrastructure and agentic computing, not the workloads of the past. As a member of the CPU-software team, you will enable the design to achieve the target PPA (Power, performance, area) specifications by writing software and AI tools which we use in the lab. We write our own tools because custom-silicon needs custom-tools. Telemetry is an interdisciplinary field ranging from low-level hardware interfacing, to pure numerical data analysis and GUIs. This is a chance to work with some of the b…

CPU Software Validation Engineering Lead

Hybrid

At NUVACORE we're designing a new general-purpose CPU core for the sustained, intensive demands of AI infrastructure and agentic computing, not the workloads of the past. We are seeking an experienced technical leader to head our CPU Software Validation Engineering organization, responsible for the strategy, architecture, and execution of software validation enabling next-generation processor platforms. This role leads teams responsible for validating CPU firmware, operating system enablement, compiler toolchains, platform runtime software, and telemetry infrastructure across simulation, emu…

Lead SOC Architect

Remote · Canada, India, United States

Own the overall SoC architecture including fabric, memory, I/O, power, and security subsystems. Drive architectural strategy, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and oversee the design process from definition through silicon bring-up.

CPU Clock Distribution and Custom Clock Design

Hybrid · Markham

Architect and deliver high-performance clock generation and distribution networks for CPU cores. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure clock-network closure, including skew, latency, and jitter analysis.

Formal Verification Engineer

Hybrid · Markham

You will drive the formal verification strategy by turning micro-architecture specifications into properties and building robust environments to prove them. Additionally, you will partner with the design team to debug counterexamples and ensure correctness through exhaustive model and equivalence checking.

CPU Performance Modeling (Lead & ICs)

Remote · Canada, India, United States

You will design and own the cycle-accurate CPU performance simulator to drive architectural decisions from pathfinding through post-silicon correlation. You will also lead microarchitectural exploration and collaborate with cross-functional teams to align design implementation with software stack requirements.

CPU Architecture Verification Engineer

Hybrid · Markham

You will drive the verification strategy and test plans to ensure architectural correctness of the CPU against specifications and golden reference models. This involves building robust verification environments, generating stimulus, and collaborating with RTL and architecture teams to root-cause bugs.

CPU Verification Engineer

Hybrid · Markham

You will drive the verification strategy, test plans, and environment development for high-performance CPU designs. Additionally, you will collaborate with architecture and RTL teams to debug complex issues and ensure coverage closure before silicon.

CPU DFT Engineer

Hybrid · Markham

You will define and implement area and power-efficient DFT architectures while collaborating with design, STA, and PD teams. Additionally, you will be responsible for verification of DFT features, generating test content for silicon bringup, and supporting yield analysis.
