Test Engineer, System-Level Test (SLT)
Tenstorrent · Austin, Texas, United States; Fort Collins, Colorado, United States; Santa Clara, California, United States
About this role
## Tenstorrent — Test Engineer, System-Level Test (SLT) Tenstorrent is hiring a **System-Level Test (SLT) Engineer** to ensure our silicon behaves predictably when running real workloads in real systems. You’ll build the software and system infrastructure that enables validation tests to operate reliably in manufacturing, while applying structured debug to separate hardware issues from software, interface, and environmental effects. **This role is hybrid** and based out of **Austin, TX; Santa Clara, CA; or Fort Collins, CO.** --- ## Who You Are - 10+ years of experience in **system-level test, embedded systems, software architecture, or hardware/software integration**, with strong skills in **C/C++, Python, or similar languages**. - Apply **object-oriented design** to build modular, maintainable, extensible test frameworks (execution wrappers, harnesses, abstraction layers). - Control test equipment and automate handlers/external instruments via standard communication protocols; debug across **test hardware, Linux hosts, firmware, drivers, and operating systems**. - Collaborate across validation, firmware, silicon debug, product engineering, manufacturing, and OSAT/fab teams. Experience with **JTAG, boundary scan, DFT, high-volume manufacturing, NPI, Git, or CI/CD** is a plus. --- ## What We Need - Develop the **test execution framework** that hosts validation-provided tests in SLT environments deployed to **OSAT production**. - Build **wrappers, harnesses, and abstraction layers** to run validation content unmodified while providing deterministic execution, dependency management, configuration control, and structured error handling. - Integrate **functional, stress, and diagnostic tests** into SLT platforms; adapt for **high-volume manufacturing** with stable execution and clear pass/fail criteria. - Create **logging, telemetry, failure-signature, and automated-triage** capabilities; drive cross-domain issues to the right teams and define data standards for **yield analysis and RMA investigations**. --- ## What You Will Learn - Architect SLT software and system infrastructure connecting validation content to **high-volume manufacturing** at a fast-scaling AI hardware company. - Build deep cross-domain debug skills by tracing failures across **silicon, boards, firmware, operating systems, drivers, and test content**. - Develop expertise in **test orchestration, telemetry, and automated triage** systems that influence yield, RMA outcomes, and production ramp speed. - Understand how SLT architecture decisions shape product quality, time-to-yield, and manufacturing scalability—driving measurable impact from day one. --- ## Compensation & Notes - Compensation for all engineers at Tenstorrent ranges from **$100k–$500k** (base + variable). Actual offer depends on experience, skills, education, background, and location. - Tenstorrent offers a competitive compensation package and benefits and is an **equal opportunity employer**. - This offer is contingent upon eligibility to access **U.S. export-controlled technology**. If employment is not possible due to U.S. export laws, any offer may be rescinded. --- *Candidates will be assessed for the appropriate level during the interview process; the offer level may differ from the level listed in this posting.*
