DFT Engineer

About the role

Tenstorrent is leading the industry on cutting-edge AI technology, revolutionizing performance expectations, ease of use, and cost efficiency. We are looking for a person ready to take up the challenge of working in a high-profile project where we design and integrate multiple chiplets into a System-in-Package, in collaboration with external stakeholders. You will work with Tenstorrent worldwide experts and leaders in the USA, Japan and other countries, and help us make our IP even better. This role is remote based out of the United States. We welcome candidates at various experience levels for this role.

Responsibilities

• Build and execute chip-level DFT strategies for high-speed CPU core designs and multi-chiplet System-in-Package programs.
• Implement and verify DFT features including scan chains, memory BIST, and JTAG to support manufacturing test and silicon debug.
• Partner with RTL, physical design, and verification teams to ensure testability throughout the design flow.
• Script, automate, and analyze DFT flows using industry-standard EDA tools, including ATPG and fault coverage reporting.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.
• 10+ years of relevant DFT experience.
• Hands-on experience with industry-standard DFT tools such as Synopsys and Siemens, as well as scripting in TCL and Python.
• Expertise in DFT planning, SoC-level silicon debug, formal verification, and signoff of inserted DFT logic.
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills to assess risk, communicate resource needs, and deliver in a complex technical environment.

What You Will Learn

• How to develop DFT strategies for advanced multi-chiplet and System-in-Package designs.
• How Tenstorrent approaches testability, silicon bring-up, and manufacturing readiness for high-performance CPU programs.
• How to work across global teams and external stakeholders on complex silicon development efforts.
• How to scale DFT execution through automation, deeper cross-functional collaboration, and continuous IP improvement.
