Tenstorrent is leading the industry on cutting-edge AI technology, revolutionizing performance expectations, ease of use, and cost efficiency. With AI redefining the computing paradigm, solutions must evolve to unify innovations in software models, compilers, platforms, networking, and semiconductors. Our diverse team of technologists have developed a high performance RISC-V CPU from scratch, and share a passion for AI and a deep desire to build the best AI platform possible. We value collaboration, curiosity, and a commitment to solving hard problems. We are growing our team and looking for contributors of all seniorities.
- Deeply curious about how high-performance silicon gets built and delivered.
- Comfortable in the weeds—handling timing reports, power grids, clock trees, and layout blocks.
- Interested in how chiplets change physical design, integration, and packaging.
- A builder who sees constraints as part of the fun, not a reason to back off.
- Expertise in the physical implementation flow, spanning RTL to physical silicon via synthesis, P&R, timing, and signoff for clean chiplet integration.
- A strong collaborator capable of aligning physical implementation with architectural and verification intent.
- Ability to perform feasibility studies of fundamental paths in the CPU
- A practical problem-solver who improves flow efficiency, automates repetitive tasks, and catches issues early
- How chiplet architecture reshapes the rules of physical design and timing
- What it takes to build a system where the silicon, packaging, and performance all align
- Why real closure isn’t about tools—it’s about understanding the system
- How a tightly integrated team moves fast across disciplines and tapeouts
