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 looking for a senior engineer to improve the reliability, performance, and user experience of the high-performance computing infrastructure that supports silicon development.\nThis role sits at the intersection of EDA, distributed systems, CI/CD, and developer productivity. You will help engineering teams run simulations, verification, coverage, and other silicon-development workloads with fewer failures, shorter feedback cycles, and better operational visibility.\nThis role is hybrid, based out of Austin, TX or Santa Clara, CA.\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\nHold an advanced engineering degree (BS, MS, or PhD in EE, ECE, CS, or related field) paired with over seven years of hands-on industry experience.\nBring expertise in Git branch strategies, merge conflict resolution, operational failure debugging, and software engineering repository management practices.\nPossess practical working knowledge of SQL databases, data query optimization, and modern structured data technologies.\nLeverage AI-assisted development tools and agentic workflows to solve complex technical problems, enhance automated testing, and streamline debugging.\nA systems-oriented engineer driven to unblock technical teams, eliminate developer friction, and elevate overall productivity.\nWhat We Need\nDesign, build, and maintain reliable build, execution, and simulation flows for verification, functional safety, formal analysis, and EDA processes.\nAnalyze system performance bottlenecks, workload patterns, and infrastructure execution to optimize throughput and reduce engineer wait times.\nBuild resilient, monitored operational services with automated recovery, actionable diagnostics, and feedback loops for CI/CD and repository health.\nDevelop AI-agent workflows, tools, and reusable skills that accelerate problem-solving and streamline software development and testing practices.\nPartner with cross-functional engineering teams to transform recurring hardware and software integration failures into durable system solutions.\nWhat You Will Learn\nHands-on experience developing infrastructure and automated workflows that support AI-assisted, autonomous engineering on production codebases.\nOpportunities to architect end-to-end infrastructure solutions targeting complex challenges in high-performance computing and semiconductor design.\nPractical expertise applying agentic AI frameworks directly to automated test staging, failure diagnosis, and production-grade engineering workflows.\nComprehensive technical exposure to industrial EDA toolchains, verification methodology, and hardware execution flows for RISC-V cores.\nDeep proficiency across specialized industrial tools including Python, GitLab, Jenkins, Simscope, SQL, VCS, Cursor, Claude, LSF, Jasper, and Z01X.\nCompensation for all engineers at Tenstorrent ranges from $100k - $500k including base and variable compensation targets. Experience, skills, education, background and location all impact the actual offer made.\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":4835,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":7,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"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":"2026-10-16T09:49:50Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 58 · green card filings: 4","filings_12m":58,"filings_prev_12m":53,"green_card_filings_12m":4,"median_offered_wage_usd":176210,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)","US Department of Labor: PERM disclosure data (green cards)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":7,"expected_fill_days":75,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-22T06:10:10Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":500000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/tenstorrent-sr-engineer-silicon-development-infrastructure","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/tenstorrent-sr-engineer-silicon-development-infrastructure.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-22T18:00:11Z","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":316,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-23T00:00:00Z"}},"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-sr-engineer-silicon-development-infrastructure"},{"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-sr-engineer-silicon-development-infrastructure"},{"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-sr-engineer-silicon-development-infrastructure"},{"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-sr-engineer-silicon-development-infrastructure\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ftenstorrent-sr-engineer-silicon-development-infrastructure"}]}
