Tenstorrent is leading the industry on state of art AI technology, having developed high performance RISC V CPUs from scratch and fostering a deep passion for building the best AI platforms. We are now extending this philosophy to our Open Chiplet Atlas initiative, an open ecosystem built to connect diverse partners around a shared architecture. This role sits at the front line of that effort, driving real adoption with customers and partners.

This role is remote, based out of Munich, Germany.

We welcome candidates at various experience levels for this role. 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.

Who You Are

• Comfortable operating at the intersection of technology, ecosystem partners, and business strategy.
• A strong communicator who ensures alignment across technical, business, and partner teams.
• Proactive, adaptable, and capable of thriving in the ambiguity of building a new ecosystem.
• Driven by impact and motivated to shape the future of chiplet based computing platforms.

What We Need

• Bachelor’s degree in a technical field, for example, Engineering or Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience demonstrating deep technical understanding. An MBA is a strong plus.
• 5+ years of experience in technical marketing, technical support, and customer engagement within the semiconductor industry.
• Good understanding of chiplet or SoC architecture, silicon design flows, and system level tradeoffs.
• Experience with HDLs (Verilog/VHDL), industry standard ASIC SoC design tools and flows, familiarity with chip packaging technologies, and chiplets is a plus
• Familiarity with the semiconductor industry, including industry standards bodies, for example, PCI SIG or CXL Consortium, or interconnect protocols, for example, UCIe or AMBA. Experience working with open source hardware projects is a plus.
• Exceptional communication and presentation skills, with the ability to influence both technical and executive audiences.

What You Will Learn

• How an open chiplet ecosystem integrates diverse IP, designs, and software from multiple partners.
• The strategic balance of market requirements, partner needs, and technical tradeoffs, including performance, cost, and interoperability, for an open standard.
• Best practices for launching, managing, and scaling an industry wide compliance and certification program.
• Insights into emerging business models and technologies in heterogeneous computing and open hardware.
• How to build consensus and drive adoption across a diverse, global community of partners and customers.

Tenstorrent offers a highly competitive compensation package and benefits, and we are an equal opportunity employer.

Why this role is exciting

At Vay, cars are remotely operated in real time from our Driving Centers in Berlin and Las Vegas,  a capability few companies worldwide have achieved on public roads. As a (Senior) Embedded Software Engineer, you will work on the safety-critical software stack that directly controls vehicle functions. The code you build will have a measurable impact on vehicle safety and reliability during real-world deployments.

What you’ll be driving

You will help build the safety-critical firmware that allows real vehicles to be operated remotely on public roads. Your work will directly influence how a car accelerates, steers, brakes, monitors itself for faults, and reacts in emergency situations. You’ll be:

• Designing, implementing, and verifying embedded software for safe remote operation of vehicles on public roads.
• Extending and maintaining validation infrastructure (simulation, HIL, in-vehicle)
• Improving automation in development workflows and tooling
• Collaborating with hardware, motion control, and systems engineers to solve challenges unique to remote driving
• If experienced in FPGA/VHDL, you’ll also be contributing to both microcontroller (C) and FPGA domains, broadening the impact of the role

What are we looking for

We’re looking for a (Senior) Embedded Software Engineer with a solid technical foundation and hands-on experience who is adaptable, eager to learn, and motivated by building safety-critical systems. You enjoy working close to hardware, care deeply about correctness and safety, and love seeing your code move real physical systems. You should apply if you have:

• Strong experience with C programming for embedded systems 
• Familiarity with RTOS (real-time operating systems)
• Experience with testing environments (simulation, HIL, in-vehicle validation)
• Problem-solving mindset, attention to detail, results-oriented

Nice to have’s

• FPGA programming in VHDL

Tech environment you will work in:

• Embedded C on microcontrollers
• RTOS-based real-time systems
• Simulation, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), and real-vehicle validation
• CAN and CAN FD vehicle communication interfaces
• Safety-oriented coding standards such as ISO 26262 and MISRA-C
• Git-based version control and Linux-based CI/CD pipelines
• FPGA programming in VHDL: enables contribution across both microcontroller (C) and FPGA domains
