About the Role
Tenstorrent is seeking a Post-Silicon Validation Engineer to drive the bring-up, validation, and debug of RISC-V–based SoCs. This role is crucial at the intersection of silicon, firmware, and system software, requiring hands-on lab experience and a deep understanding of SoC architectures. You will own the post-silicon validation process from first-silicon bring-up through production readiness, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams.
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 and boot flows.
- Collaborate on Linux bring-up and driver validation.
- Provide actionable feedback, support ECO validation, and drive fixes for future silicon revisions.
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.
- Ability to thrive in cross-functional environments and work closely with RTL, firmware, and software teams to solve hard problems.
- Eligibility to access U.S. export-controlled technology.
