TenstorrentJob Title
Senior Engineer, System-Level Design Verification
Role Summary
Senior verification engineer responsible for validating full-system behavior of distributed AI compute platforms. Work with hardware and software teams to ensure connectivity, coherency, performance, reliability, and observability across multi-node systems.
Hybrid role based out of Toronto, Austin (TX), or Belgrade; focused on system-level validation for AI workloads rather than block-level microarchitecture alone.
Experience Level
Senior. The company may assess candidates at different levels during interview; no explicit years-of-experience requirement provided.
Responsibilities
Validate functionality and behavior of large, distributed AI compute systems across nodes and interconnects.
- Test and verify system connectivity, cache/coherency, and end-to-end functionality.
- Measure, analyze, and tune performance of real AI workloads to meet silicon targets.
- Develop and maintain system-level test frameworks, observability, and diagnostic tooling.
- Root-cause complex issues spanning hardware, firmware, and software stacks; collaborate with cross-functional teams.
- Define verification plans aligned with silicon goals and product releases.
- Scale system validation approaches for evolving architectures and multi-node deployments.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and responsibilities.
- Proven experience in system-level design verification focused on full-system behavior.
- Strong ability to analyze AI workload performance and hardware/software interactions end-to-end.
- Experience debugging complex issues involving both hardware and software components.
- Practical knowledge of observability, diagnostics, and building system-level test frameworks.
- Experience validating and tuning performance for distributed compute platforms or multi-node systems.
- Commitment to reliability, operational excellence, and measurable observability.
Nice-to-have: experience with performance counters, large-scale cluster validation, or prior work on AI accelerator platforms.
Education Requirements
Not specified.
