You will work at the hardware/software boundary to define how those hardware blocks are initialized, coordinated, and used by the runtime You will determine how workloads are dispatched, scheduled, synchronized, and executed across the accelerator, while solving complex performance problems through implementation, bring-up, and debugging Define the runtime architecture and implementation that controls execution, scheduling, synchronization, and resource management across Tenstorrent's custom processor, accelerator, memory, and data-movement IP Build low-level runtime components that initialize hardware IP, dispatch work to processor and accelerator engines, coordinate dependencies, and manage resources efficiently Design runtime interfaces and data-movement paths that make memory access, synchronization, and execution productive and predictable Analyze bottlenecks across the runtime and hardware/software stack, then drive improvements in latency, throughput, scalability, and reliability Influence the direction of the runtime stack, engage directly with customers and field-facing teams, and translate real-world workload needs into runtime improvements while remaining hands-on with design, coding, performance analysis, bring-up, and debugging What You Will Learn:



How runtime software exposes and controls custom silicon IP, from hardware initialization and execution control through bring-up, performance analysis, and optimization How custom silicon IP blocks—including RISC-V processor cores, accelerator engines, memory systems, data-movement logic, and interconnects-work together as a complete execution platform Advanced techniques for execution control, synchronization, scheduling, and performance optimization on massively parallel hardware How runtime and hardware co-evolve to improve model throughput, efficiency, and scalability A technical leader who collaborates effectively across hardware, firmware, compiler, and systems teams and mentors other engineersExperienced working close to hardware in low-level, embedded, bare-metal, or accelerator environments and translating hardware specifications into reliable software behaviorStrong in runtime fundamentals, including command execution, scheduling, synchronization, memory movement, resource management, and parallelismAn expert C or C++ engineer with a track record of designing and delivering complex, performance-critical systemsSkilled at debugging and optimizing systems end-to-end, especially at the hardware/software boundary
