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 critical at the intersection of silicon, firmware, and system software, requiring hands-on lab experience and a deep understanding of SoC architectures. The engineer will be responsible for 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. Tenstorrent welcomes candidates at various experience levels, and the final level 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.
- Experience thriving in cross-functional environments and 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.
Benefits
- Highly competitive compensation package
