Role

Who you are

This role is ideal for engineers who thrive at the intersection of IT, EDA flows, and automation
A Linux expert passionate about automation and process optimization
Skilled in scripting (Python, Tcl, Bash) and CI/CD (Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD)
Proficient with Infrastructure as Code tools like Terraform and Ansible
Experienced with Docker and Kubernetes for containerized environments
Curious about EDA tools and infrastructure (LSF, Modules, SQL, FlexLM)

What the job involves

We are looking for a Staff DevOps Engineer to help define, build, and optimize the infrastructure and development tools that are critical to developing our chips
What We Need:
Engineers to automate and optimize our chip development infrastructure
Builders of robust CI/CD pipelines for the full VLSI design flow
Experts to identify and eliminate design bottlenecks across the lifecycle
Innovators eager to apply AI/ML for workflow enhancement
Architects to scale and manage HPC and cloud-integrated resources
What You Will Learn:
How to build and scale cutting-edge EDA environments
Strategies for hybrid cloud management in HPC contexts
DevOps leadership and best practice implementation
Modern software techniques applied to hardware development
Methodology design for the next generation of chip workflows

Our take

Advances in artificial intelligence apps, combined with a global chip shortage, are strong tailwinds for chip processor Tenstorrent. The semi-conducter developer is designing specialized chips for running artificial intelligence applications, building chips for what it calls "software 2.0".

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 specialised 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".
