Senior Engineer, System-Level Design Verification
TenstorrentJob Title
Senior Engineer, System-Level Design Verification
Role Summary
As a Senior Engineer in System-Level Design Verification you will validate full-system behavior of Tenstorrent AI silicon across large distributed compute platforms, focusing on connectivity, coherency, reliability, and performance of end-to-end AI workloads. This role is part of the verification team and works closely with hardware and software engineering groups.
This position is hybrid, based in Toronto, ON, Canada; Austin, TX, United States; or Belgrade, RS. Employment may be contingent on eligibility to access U.S. export-controlled technology.
Experience Level
Senior. The company may assess candidates at different levels during interviews and align offers accordingly.
Responsibilities
Key responsibilities include validating system-level functionality and measuring system performance for AI workloads.
- Validate system connectivity, coherency, and full-system functionality across distributed AI compute systems.
- Measure, analyze, and tune performance for end-to-end AI workloads to meet silicon targets.
- Define and evolve observability, diagnostics, and system-level test frameworks.
- Debug complex hardware/software integration issues in collaboration with hardware and software teams.
- Align verification plans with silicon goals and product requirements.
Requirements
Must-have qualifications and skills for successful performance in this role.
- Proven experience in system-level design verification focused on full-system behavior rather than only block-level verification.
- Strong ability to analyze AI workload performance and correlate software behavior with hardware performance counters and bottlenecks.
- Experience debugging interactions between hardware and software on distributed compute platforms.
- Experience defining observability, diagnostics, and system-level test frameworks for large-scale systems.
- Operational focus on reliability, observability, and production readiness.
Nice-to-have
- Experience with RISC-V or custom CPU architectures.
- Background in silicon validation for AI accelerators or large-scale distributed systems.
- Familiarity with profiling tools, performance counters, and workload-driven validation.
Education Requirements
