Sr. Software Engineer, Systems Framework & Infrastructure

The Systems Engineering team is responsible for low-level management from the ASIC to the system level, supporting activities from pre-silicon development through production. In this role, you will focus on developing software frameworks, APIs, tooling, infrastructure, and continuous integration (CI) regression systems to introspect and test our ASICs and systems, while supporting teams across Tenstorrent. You will gain experience with state-of-the-art ML processor architecture, board design, and debugging.

This role is hybrid, based out of Toronto, Canada.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering or related field with 3+ years of relevant software development experience.
• A strong programmer in C, C++, and Python with fluency in Git for source code management using rebase and feature-branch workflows.
• Experienced with python packaging release flows and infrastructure, CI/CD with containerized environments and test automation (doctest, pytest).
• A strong Linux systems programmer with understanding of operating-systems internals, thread-safe programming and memory management.
• Technically grounded in computer architecture and logic design, with a good understanding of circuit design and digital hardware design. Ability to read schematics and RTL and experience debugging using lab tools (oscilloscopes and logic/ protocol analyzers) or pre-silicon waveforms.
• An analytical problem solver and clear verbal and written communicator who can work cross-functionally, drive issues to closure, and bring a basic understanding of machine learning.
• Design, develop and maintain system and ASIC access and testing frameworks, working closely with internal customer teams on requirements.
• Architect APIs to enable customer teams to seamlessly transition their execution from the earliest days of test chip bring-up to mature productized systems.
• Execute ML processor, board, and system bring-up and validation, driving issue debugging across bring-up, validation, and production.
• Build out CI/CD pipelines to ensure quality software deliverables.
• Review code from other engineers and provide mentorship to juniors.
• Gain hands-on experience with state-of-the-art ML processor architecture and chiplet-based ASIC architecture.
• Deepen your understanding of ASIC/ board/ system design, system bring-up, and hardware debugging.
• Build extensible, maintainable software and related CI and automation infrastructure across all levels of the post-silicon lifecycle.
• Broaden your system-level perspective by collaborating with and enabling teams across Tenstorrent.
