Key responsibilities include:

• Owning and driving the debug solution and architecture across all chiplets
• Defining and implementing top-level debug and trace architectures
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams on system-level debug features
• Developing debug interfaces (JTAG, trace modules, debug controllers)
• Optimizing debug infrastructure for performance and observability
• Assisting in post-silicon debug efforts
• Driving innovation in debug methodologies

The ideal candidate will have:

• BS/MS/PhD in EE/ECE/CE/CS or related field with 5+ years of experience
• Proven experience in SOC debug architecture design
• Strong knowledge of JTAG, trace modules, and debug controllers
• Experience working across multiple chiplets in large-scale SOCs
• Deep understanding of hardware design, verification, and post-silicon validation
• Familiarity with RTL design using Verilog/VHDL
• Excellent problem-solving and debugging skills
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills

This hybrid role is based out of Toronto (ON), Ottawa (ON), Boston (MA), or Austin (TX). Tenstorrent offers competitive compensation and benefits, with a range of $100k - $500k including base and variable compensation targets.
