We value collaboration, curiosity, and a commitment to solving hard problems. We are growing our team and looking for contributors of all seniorities.
This role is hybrid based out of Toronto, ON or Austin, TX.
We welcome candidates at various experience levels. 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.
- Good understanding of AI workload characteristics, in particular LLMs.
- Extensive experience in RTL design and micro-architecture of caches and/or scratch-pad memories.
- Experience developing and/or working with performance models for architecture exploration.
- A Bachelor’s degree in EE/ECE/CE/CS or a related field (MS or PhD preferred).
- Strong foundational experience in RTL design with a focus on power- and area-efficient architectures.
- An understanding of microprocessor architecture, logic design principles, and their timing/power tradeoffs.
- Deep interest in evaluating large-scale AI systems from software to physical design.
- Evaluating system-level performance impact of design trade-offs.
- Advanced methods for floating-point arithmetic, low-power micro-architecture, and arithmetic circuit optimization.
- How to account for physical design considerations during RTL and micro-architecture specification.
- Strategies for integrating RTL improvements into a full AI compute stack to maximize real-world performance.
Compensation for all engineers at Tenstorrent ranges from $100k - $500k including base and variable compensation targets. Experience, skills, education, background and location all impact the actual offer made.
Tenstorrent offers a highly competitive compensation package and benefits, and we are an equal opportunity employer.
This offer of employment is contingent upon the applicant being eligible to access U.S. export-controlled technology. Due to U.S. export laws, including those codified in the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR), the Company is required to ensure compliance with these laws when transferring technology to nationals of certain countries (such as EAR Country Groups D:1, E1, and E2). These requirements apply to persons located in the U.S. and all countries outside the U.S. As the position offered will have direct and/or indirect access to information, systems, or technologies subject to these laws, the offer may be contingent upon your citizenship/permanent residency status or ability to obtain prior license approval from the U.S. Commerce Department or applicable federal agency. If employment is not possible due to U.S. export laws, any offer of employment will be rescinded.
