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.\nJoin Tenstorrent as a Staff Reliability Engineer and help define the reliability strategy behind the next generation of AI computing systems. In this highly visible technical leadership role, you'll drive reliability from architecture through production, partnering across hardware, software, and manufacturing teams to build high-performance AI platforms that set the standard for uptime, durability, and quality. If you're passionate about solving complex engineering challenges and influencing products at scale, you'll have the opportunity to shape technology powering the future of AI.\nThis role is hybrid, based out of Toronto, Canada.\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\nYou've spent 8+ years in reliability engineering, ideally in high-performance computing, AI hardware, or data center systems.\nYou're comfortable with the statistical side of the job, HALT, HASS, ALT, MTBF, Weibull analysis, and FMEA are all familiar territory.\nYou can work through a technical problem in a thermal lab and then explain the risks and trade-offs clearly to leadership.\nYou're good at bringing people together, mechanical, electrical, thermal, software, and System Dev & Compliance Validation teams, especially when timelines are tight.\nYou hold a Bachelor's or Master's in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Reliability Engineering, or a related field.\nWhat We Need\nSomeone to set the reliability strategy for our next-generation AI computing systems, with MTBF modeling as a core piece.\nA strong problem-solver who can lead root-cause investigations and drive fixes across engineering and the supply chain.\nSomeone who summarizes findings and feeds them back to the Systems Engineering design team, reliability as an ongoing loop, not a one-time check.\nA close partner to System Dev & Compliance Validation, helping set hardware up for success ahead of formal testing and certification.\nWillingness to travel to third-party test facilities for HALT/HASS, to preplan, oversee testing, resolve DUT issues, and assess design risk in person.\nWhat You Will Learn\nHow to build a reliability strategy from scratch for hardware that's pushing the boundaries of AI computing.\nHow to build predictive models, including MTBF frameworks and accelerated life testing.\nHow to turn test findings into design improvements through close collaboration with Systems Engineering.\nHow reliability work sets the stage for validation and certification success.\nWhat it takes to run hands-on testing at manufacturing and test partner sites, including in Taiwan.\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":4399,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"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":"2026-09-05T11:14:18Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":35,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.795,"p_room":0.44,"age_days":94,"expected_fill_days":74,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:tail","crowd:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-03T05:54:40Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/tenstorrent-staff-reliability-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/tenstorrent-staff-reliability-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-03T13:14:04Z","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":18282,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-04T00:00:00Z"}},"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-staff-reliability-engineer"},{"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-staff-reliability-engineer"},{"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-staff-reliability-engineer"},{"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-staff-reliability-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ftenstorrent-staff-reliability-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":254188}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"tenstorrent.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":254188},"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.
