With AI redefining the computing paradigm, solutions must evolve to unify innovations in software models, compilers, platforms, networking, and semiconductors. Our diverse team of technologists have developed a high performance RISC-V CPU from scratch, and share a passion for AI and a deep desire to build the best AI platform possible. We value collaboration, curiosity, and a commitment to solving hard problems. We are growing our team and looking for contributors of all seniorities.\nWe are seeking a Software Driver Developer to create reference drivers for our AI-IP in a reference system. You will also support our AI-IP customer optimizing our reference driver into our customer specific systems. \nThis role is hybrid, based out of Belgrade, Serbia.\nWe welcome candidates at various experience levels for this role. During the interview process, candidates will be assessed for the appropriate level, and offers will align with that level, which may differ from the one in this posting.\nWho You Are\nDeep systems engineer with 7+ years of experience in device drivers or low-level systems programming.\nStrong proficiency in C and C++ with a solid understanding of hardware-software interfaces.\nHands-on experience developing Linux kernel drivers, including kernel architecture, debugging, and kernel-space/user-space interactions.\nExperience developing drivers for high-speed I/O or interconnect technologies such as PCIe; PCIe driver development is strongly preferred.\nFamiliar with user-mode and kernel-mode driver models and understands that Linux kernel driver development differs meaningfully from bare-metal or RTOS-based driver development.\nWhat We Need\nDesign and evolve the driver layer that provides high-performance APIs for Tenstorrent devices.\nDevelop and maintain user-mode and kernel-mode drivers for Tenstorrent hardware, including Linux kernel drivers for system integration.\nDefine driver interfaces and specifications that enable the broader software stack to run across internal and third-party hardware.\nCollaborate with kernel and hardware teams to ensure efficient cross-layer design, performance, and PCIe-based device integration.\nSupport external integrations by driving performance engineering, benchmarking, profiling, and optimization of APIs and driver paths in customer environments, including safety-critical use cases where applicable.\nWhat You Will Learn\nHow user-mode and Linux kernel drivers are designed for high-performance AI hardware.\nHow PCIe and other system interconnects are used to integrate accelerator hardware into production platforms.\nHow hardware-software interfaces are defined to support scalable and portable systems.\nHow performance is optimized across memory, compute, and communication layers.\nHow safety and reliability requirements influence modern driver architecture, including in automotive and mission-critical systems.\nTenstorrent offers a highly competitive compensation package and benefits, and we are an equal opportunity employer.\nThis offer of employment is contingent upon the applicant being eligible to access U.S. export-controlled technology. Due to U.S. export laws, including those codified in the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR), the Company is required to ensure compliance with these laws when transferring technology to nationals of certain countries (such as EAR Country Groups D:1, E1, and E2). These requirements apply to persons located in the U.S. and all countries outside the U.S. As the position offered will have direct and/or indirect access to information, systems, or technologies subject to these laws, the offer may be contingent upon your citizenship/permanent residency status or ability to obtain prior license approval from the U.S. Commerce Department or applicable federal agency. If employment is not possible due to U.S. export laws, any offer of employment will be rescinded.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4043,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":7,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Processors, MCUs & AI Chips","AI Chips & Accelerators","Semiconductor IP & Chip Design Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-05-29T22:09:37Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":19,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.678,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":154,"expected_fill_days":75,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:tail","crowd:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-31T05:58:55Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/tenstorrent-senior-embedded-engineer-ai-ip","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/tenstorrent-senior-embedded-engineer-ai-ip.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-31T19:26:16Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":30578,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-01T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":48241},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=48241"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ftenstorrent-senior-embedded-engineer-ai-ip"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ftenstorrent-senior-embedded-engineer-ai-ip"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ftenstorrent-senior-embedded-engineer-ai-ip"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/tenstorrent-senior-embedded-engineer-ai-ip\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ftenstorrent-senior-embedded-engineer-ai-ip"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":128253}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"tenstorrent.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":128253},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
