Engineer, PCIe Validation
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.
Curious about how cutting-edge hardware actually comes to life? We're looking for someone who’s excited to dive into the core of next-gen systems and help make them real. In this role, you’ll validate high-speed interfaces, solve complex system-level puzzles, and collaborate across teams to shape the future of AI/ML computing. If firmware, hardware, and hands-on debugging sound like your kind of fun — let’s chat!
This role is hybrid and based in one of the following locations: Toronto, Canada; Vancouver, Canada; New Taipei City, Taiwan; Pangyo, South Korea; or Santa Clara, California.
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
- You love bringing hardware to life and enjoy the thrill of solving tricky problems across the hardware–firmware boundary.
- You’re hands-on in the lab and comfortable with tools like oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers, and JTAG — digging deep doesn’t scare you.
- You’re comfortable jumping into unfamiliar problems and figuring things out — whether it’s in the lab or in firmware.
- You’re curious, collaborative, and excited to work on technology that pushes the boundaries of performance.
What We Need
- Someone to take the lead in validating our next-gen PCIe interfaces — from controller to PHY, and everything in between.
- A strong collaborator who can work across hardware, firmware, and software teams to bring up new features and solve problems.
- A sharp debugger who’s comfortable triaging issues across hardware, firmware, and software layers.
- A detail-oriented thinker who thrives in fast-paced environments and enjoys seeing ideas come to life in real systems.
What You Will Learn
- How to work at the cutting edge of compute — validating next-gen hardware and making it production-ready.
How different pieces of a system come together — from multi-die chiplets to firmware integration and beyond.
How to use advanced tools and techniques to debug and tune complex system interactions.
How to shape emerging technology in a collaborative, fast-moving engineering environment.
Tenstorrent offers a highly competitive compensation package and benefits, and we are an equal opportunity employer.
Due to U.S. Export Control laws and regulations, Tenstorrent is required to ensure compliance with licensing regulations when transferring technology to nationals of certain countries that have been licensing conditions set by the U.S. government.
