Role

Who you are

A systems-level engineer with strong debugging instincts and a bias for hands-on problem solving
Comfortable working across the stack — hardware, firmware, OS, drivers, networking, and workloads
Experienced working directly with customers in technical environments (data centers, labs, integration facilities)
Able to isolate root causes in complex multi-layer issues rather than treating symptoms
Clear communicator who can translate technical findings into actionable recommendations
Self-driven and comfortable operating independently in field environments
Excited to work with cutting-edge hardware and solve problems that don’t yet have documentation
Working closely with customers to implement and integrate hardware solutions, on-site troubleshooting of system, firmware, networking, and infrastructure issues
Debuging complex multi-component problems spanning hardware, software, and integration layers
Conducting testing, validation, and performance characterization of hardware and full systems to ensure stability, efficiency, and readiness for deployment
Validating system stability, thermals, performance, and reliability under real workloads
Support on proof-of-concept installations through production scale-out

What the job involves

We are seeking a skilled and experienced Field Application Engineer to join our Customer Success team. The ideal candidate will play a pivotal role in deploying and optimizing cutting-edge computer systems and AI hardware
If you have a passion for hardware technologies, including accelerators, CPUs, GPUs, and thrive in a dynamic, hands-on technical environment, we would love to hear from you

Application process

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

Our take

Tenstorrent is a US- and Canada-based semiconductor startup specializing in processors for AI workloads. Rather than building gneral-purpose CPUs or GPus, the company develops custom chips and sofrware optimized for running moder AI models. As demand for AI accelerates, and as a global chip shortage reshapes the semiconductor industry, these trends have become strong tailwinds for Tenstorrent.

The company’s unique approach is to build for this future software, which it believes will be written at a higher level. Combining this with conditional computing, Tenstorrent supports a scalable distributed network approach that is analogous to a human brain.

While the market for specialized AI hardware is destined to be gigantic, the company has to compete with a plethora of hopeful startups (as well as major tech companies like NVIDIA and Qualcomm). That said, Tenstorrent boasts an excellent trajectory so far, with its latest moves including unveiling its high-end Wormhole AI processors, and a partnership with LG which will see the development of chips for "Affectionate Intelligence".
