Staff Engineer,Post-Silicon Validation
About The Position
Tenstorrent is seeking a Post-Silicon Validation Engineer to drive the bring-up, validation, and debug of RISC-V–based SoCs. This role is at the intersection of silicon, firmware, and system software, requiring hands-on lab experience and a strong understanding of SoC architectures. The engineer will own post-silicon validation from first-silicon bring-up through production readiness, collaborating closely with design, pre-silicon verification, firmware, and software teams. This is a hybrid role, based in Austin, TX, or Santa Clara, CA. The company welcomes candidates at various experience levels, and the final level and offer will be determined during the interview process.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in SoC bring-up, validation, and silicon debug.
- Strong grasp of CPU and SoC architectures, including RISC-V privilege modes, caches, coherency, and memory systems.
- Comfortable debugging complex hardware/software interaction issues using lab tools and low-level software.
- Thrive in cross-functional environments and enjoy working closely with RTL, firmware, and software teams to solve hard problems.
Responsibilities
- Lead first-silicon bring-up of RISC-V CPU–based SoCs and execute post-silicon validation plans.
- Debug silicon issues across CPU cores, interconnects, memory subsystems, peripherals, and high-speed interfaces.
- Develop and debug bare-metal tests, boot flows, and collaborate on Linux bring-up and driver validation.
- Provide actionable feedback, support ECO validation, and drive fixes for future silicon revisions.
