Staff Firmware Engineer

You have 5+ years of experience in embedded firmware or low-level system software development, with strong C/C++ fundamentals across memory layout, interrupts, concurrency, and bare-metal or RTOS-based development.

You have hands-on experience bringing up hardware platforms and debugging issues at the hardware-software boundary using lab and software tools.

You are comfortable working across the broader system stack, including bootloaders, embedded Linux, drivers, host management interfaces, and firmware validation workflows.

You collaborate effectively across hardware, validation, and software teams, and ideally bring added experience in areas such as Zephyr, power and thermal management, secure boot, CI, or Python-based automation.

Develop, maintain, and optimize embedded firmware for microcontrollers and SoCs used in Tenstorrent boards and systems, including mission-mode firmware running on management cores and embedded controllers.

Bring up new platforms through early diagnostics, power-on sequencing, and low-level driver development for board- and system-level interfaces.
