Computer Science Lab Instructor information

What is a computer science lab instructor?

Computer Science Lab Instructors are educators responsible for guiding students through practical, hands-on activities and experiments in computer science laboratories. They assist students in applying theoretical knowledge to real-world problems, help troubleshoot programming or technical issues, and ensure lab safety and effective use of equipment. Lab instructors often collaborate with professors, design lab exercises, and may grade assignments or provide feedback on student performance. Their role is essential in bridging the gap between classroom learning and practical application.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a computer science lab instructor?

To thrive as a Computer Science Lab Instructor, you need a solid background in computer science, programming languages, and instructional techniques, typically supported by a relevant degree. Familiarity with coding platforms, learning management systems, and software development tools is essential for effectively supporting students. Strong communication, patience, and the ability to explain complex concepts clearly are standout soft skills in this role. These skills and qualities are crucial for fostering student engagement, ensuring comprehension, and guiding learners through technical challenges.

What are some common challenges faced by computer science lab instructors when supporting students during hands-on sessions?

Computer Science Lab Instructors often encounter challenges such as addressing varying levels of student proficiency, managing multiple questions simultaneously, and ensuring all students remain engaged during practical exercises. It can also be demanding to troubleshoot diverse technical issues on different devices or platforms used in the lab. Successful instructors develop strategies for effective classroom management and clear communication, while fostering an inclusive environment where students feel comfortable seeking help.

Job description

Tenstorrent is looking for a Firmware Engineer working on microcontrollers and SoCs, focused on low-level C/C++ development and board bring-up. You'll implement and debug firmware, develop boot/power/reset sequences, and use lab tools to diagnose issues across the hardware-software boundary. You'll collaborate closely with hardware, board, and system software teams while building strong skills in modern embedded platforms, RTOS/Embedded Linux, and automated testing.

This role isย hybrid, based out of Toronto, Canada.

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

  • An experienced embedded engineer with a strong foundation in computer engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, or a related field, and a track record of building reliable software for real-world systems.
  • A strong problem solver who enjoys working where software meets hardware and can move comfortably between architecture, implementation, debugging, and system-level thinking.
  • Curious by nature and energized by complex challenges, with a willingness to explore new technologies, development approaches, and AI-assisted tools to make engineering more effective.
  • A thoughtful technical contributor who communicates clearly, collaborates well across disciplines, and brings a mindset of ownership, continuous improvement, and engineering excellence.

What We Need

  • Technical leadership across the firmware development lifecycle, from early architecture and platform bring-up through validation, production, and continued improvement.
  • Engineers who can take on ambiguous and technically challenging problems, develop practical solutions, and make thoughtful tradeoffs with reliability, performance, scalability, and maintainability in mind.
  • A strong advocate for quality and collaboration who contributes to design reviews, testing strategies, engineering standards, and mentorship while helping the broader team grow.
  • A hands-on mindset and a willingness to dig deep when things don't work, bringing together software, hardware, and system-level perspectives to find the root cause and move the product forward.

What You Will Learn

  • The opportunity to work on challenging embedded systems from early development through production, gaining a broader perspective of how hardware and software come together to create reliable products.
  • Deeper exposure to system architecture, platform development, debugging, validation, and the decisions that shape products well beyond an individual feature or component.
  • Modern approaches to embedded engineering, including automation, continuous integration, advanced testing, collaborative development practices, and emerging AI-powered tools.
  • Opportunities to expand technical influence through mentorship, cross-functional collaboration, architectural thinking, and ownership of initiatives that make a lasting impact on the team and product.

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