Role summary

Tenstorrent is seeking Engineers for their Diagnostics Development team to build cutting-edge AI compute solutions. This hybrid role in Toronto focuses on developing diagnostics software to validate and stress-test ASICs, boards, and AI compute systems. The engineer will collaborate closely with firmware, software, board, and ASIC design teams, debug complex system-level issues using tools like JTAG, and enhance diagnostics infrastructure. The position offers a competitive compensation package and benefits, with a contingency on eligibility to access U.S. export-controlled technology.

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.

At Tenstorrent, we're building cutting-edge AI compute solutions. Developing diagnostics programs to validate the functionality and stress the performance of our solutions is a critical part of delivering exceptional products. We are looking for Engineers to join our Diagnostics Development team. These engineers will work closely with our firmware, software, board, ASIC design and verification teams to ensure that the ASICs, boards, and AI compute systems meet the highest standards of quality and performance.

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

  • How diagnostics drive the performance, reliability, and success of next-gen AI compute platforms.
  • Best practices for bringing up and validating complex SoC hardware in pre-silicon and post-silicon environments.
  • How to collaborate with cross-functional teams such as firmware, ASIC, hardware, software, and manufacturing, to build world-class products.
  • The impact diagnostics has on product quality, design feedback loops, and high-volume production in a rapidly evolving AI landscape.

    • 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.
