Role summary

Senior Software Engineer focused on Systems Framework & Infrastructure. Responsibilities include developing software frameworks, APIs, tooling, infrastructure, and CI regression systems for ASIC and system testing. Requires strong programming skills in C, C++, and Python, experience with Git, CI/CD, test automation, Linux systems programming, and computer architecture. The role involves hardware debugging and collaboration across teams. This is a hybrid position based in Toronto, Canada.

Tenstorrent is leading the industry on cutting-edge AI technology, revolutionizing performance expectations, ease of use, and cost efficiency. With AI redefining the computing paradigm, solutions must evolve to unify innovations in software models, compilers, platforms, networking, and semiconductors. Our diverse team of technologists have developed a high performance RISC-V CPU from scratch, and share a passion for AI and a deep desire to build the best AI platform possible. We value collaboration, curiosity, and a commitment to solving hard problems. We are growing our team and looking for contributors of all seniorities.

The Systems Engineering team is responsible for low-level management from the ASIC to the system level, supporting activities from pre-silicon development through production. In this role, you will focus on developing software frameworks, APIs, tooling, infrastructure, and continuous integration (CI) regression systems to introspect and test our ASICs and systems, while supporting teams across Tenstorrent. You will gain experience with state-of-the-art ML processor architecture, board design, and debugging.

This role is hybrid, based out of Toronto, Canada.

We welcome candidates at various experience levels for this role. During the interview process, candidates will be assessed for the appropriate level, and offers will align with that level, which may differ from the one in this posting.

Who You Are

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering or related field with 3+ years of relevant software development experience.
  • A strong programmer in C, C++, and Python with fluency in Git for source code management using rebase and feature-branch workflows.
  • Experienced with python packaging release flows and infrastructure, CI/CD with containerized environments and test automation (doctest, pytest).
  • A strong Linux systems programmer with understanding of operating-systems internals, thread-safe programming and memory management.
  • Technically grounded in computer architecture and logic design, with a good understanding of circuit design and digital hardware design. Ability to read schematics and RTL and experience debugging using lab tools (oscilloscopes and logic/ protocol analyzers) or pre-silicon waveforms.
  • An analytical problem solver and clear verbal and written communicator who can work cross-functionally, drive issues to closure, and bring a basic understanding of machine learning.

    • What We Need

  • Design, develop and maintain system and ASIC access and testing frameworks, working closely with internal customer teams on requirements.
  • Architect APIs to enable customer teams to seamlessly transition their execution from the earliest days of test chip bring-up to mature productized systems.
  • Execute ML processor, board, and system bring-up and validation, driving issue debugging across bring-up, validation, and production.
  • Build out CI/CD pipelines to ensure quality software deliverables.
  • Review code from other engineers and provide mentorship to juniors.

    • What You Will Learn

  • Gain hands-on experience with state-of-the-art ML processor architecture and chiplet-based ASIC architecture.
  • Deepen your understanding of ASIC/ board/ system design, system bring-up, and hardware debugging.
  • Build extensible, maintainable software and related CI and automation infrastructure across all levels of the post-silicon lifecycle.
  • Broaden your system-level perspective by collaborating with and enabling teams across Tenstorrent.

    • Tenstorrent offers a highly competitive compensation package and benefits, and we are an equal opportunity employer.

    This offer of employment is contingent upon the applicant being eligible to access U.S. export-controlled technology. Due to U.S. export laws, including those codified in the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR), the Company is required to ensure compliance with these laws when transferring technology to nationals of certain countries (such as EAR Country Groups D:1, E1, and E2). These requirements apply to persons located in the U.S. and all countries outside the U.S. As the position offered will have direct and/or indirect access to information, systems, or technologies subject to these laws, the offer may be contingent upon your citizenship/permanent residency status or ability to obtain prior license approval from the U.S. Commerce Department or applicable federal agency. If employment is not possible due to U.S. export laws, any offer of employment will be rescinded.
