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.
Tenstorrent is seeking an experienced Silicon Validation Engineer to validate
and qualify our cutting-edge die-to-die (D2D) subsystem, AI, and Processor IP
testchips for the rapidly growing chiplet ecosystem. You'll develop hardware
infrastructure for validation platforms, perform comprehensive electrical
characterization, and support customer silicon bring-up. If you’re passionate
about hands-on silicon testing and want to help usher in the chiplet era of
semiconductor products, join us.
This role is hybrid, based out of Santa Clara, CA; or 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
- A hands-on engineer with 5+ years of silicon test and characterization
experience in lab environments.
- Expert with oscilloscopes, BERTs, and test equipment who can independently
debug complex validation challenges.
- Self-driven problem solver with strong EE fundamentals in both digital and
analog circuit design.
- Excellent communicator who collaborates effectively with design teams and
tracks progress meticulously.
What We Need
- BS/MS in Electrical Engineering with 5+ years of hands-on silicon validation
using Keysight/Tektronix equipment.
- Proven experience with high-speed measurements (Tx jitter, Rx JTOL) and test
automation scripting (Python, Perl, LabVIEW).
- Strong understanding of datacomm circuits (amplifiers, PLLs, equalizers) and
signal integrity concepts.
- Track record of independently running validation tests and driving issue
resolution with design teams.
What You Will Learn
- State-of-the-art die-to-die chiplet validation methodologies for
next-generation semiconductor architectures.
- How to build and evolve hardware infrastructure for advanced D2D validation
and demo platforms.
- Customer-facing silicon bring-up techniques and product qualification best
practices.
- The opportunity to shape validation standards in the emerging chiplet
ecosystem at a fast-moving startup.
Compensation for all engineers at Tenstorrent ranges from $100k - $500k
including base and variable compensation targets. Experience, skills, education,
background and location all impact the actual offer made.
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.
