High-performance RISC-V processor cores, chips and IP for compute markets
Ventana Micro Systems designs high-performance RISC-V processors, with job posts centered on its Veyron V2 core and Veyron V3 verification. The stack pairs SystemVerilog, UVM and Cadence Palladium emulation with FPGA prototyping and a software layer of KVM, Xen, GCC and LLVM, pointing to a full silicon-plus-software bring-up effort. Hiring is almost entirely senior engineering, though velocity has slowed recently.
Ventana Micro Systems is a privately held semiconductor company founded in 2018 and headquartered in Cupertino, California. It develops RISC-V based processor platforms, chips and IP aimed at data center, automotive, client and AI applications. The company employs 51–200 people and recruits engineering talent in the United States and India. Its work spans CPU core design, design verification, FPGA full-chip implementation, performance modeling and low-level software support for virtualization and toolchains.
Ventana uses SystemVerilog, Verilog, UVM and Cadence Palladium for chip design and verification, Xilinx FPGAs for prototyping, and C/C++, Python, Tcl, GCC, LLVM, KVM and Xen for software and toolchain work.
Job posts point to Veyron V2 core development, Veyron V3 and next-gen core verification, FPGA full-chip implementation, performance modeling infrastructure, benchmark development and pre-silicon bring-up.
Ventana is headquartered in Cupertino, CA and hires in the United States and India, focusing almost exclusively on senior, staff and principal engineering roles.
