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.

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.

In this role, you will be responsible for synthesis and place and route using industry standard tools for high-speed CPU core design. Knowledge of cutting edge silicon technology 5nm and lower and multi Ghz design is a plus.

This role is Hybrid, based out of Santa Clara, CA.

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.


Responsibilities:

  • Synthesis and Place and Route using industry standard tools for high speed CPU core design.
  • Perform all aspects of design flow from logic synthesis, place and route, FEV, power, timing, quality checks and design closure.
  • Develop and recommend better design methodologies to enable better timing convergence.
  • PV convergence (including static timing and power analysis).
  • Chip physical design verification including formal equivalence, timing, electrical rules, DRC/LVS, Noise and electro-migration checks.
  • Scripting in an interpreted language, minimum TCL in addition to at least one other

Experience & Qualifications:

  • Bachelor, Master or PhD degree in electrical, computer engineering or computer science.
  • At least 10 years of relevant industry experience.
  • Experience with integrated circuit design tools (e.g. Synopsys/Cadence), including logic synthesis, place and route, static timing analysis and design closure.
  • Experience with PV convergence, including static timing and power analysis.
  • Experience with chip physical design verification, including formal equivalence, timing, electrical rules, DRC/LVS, noise and electro-mitigation checks.
  • Hands-on experience with synthesis, block and chip level implementation with industry standard PnR flows and tools.
  • Strong experience in SoC/ASIC/GPU/CPU design flows on taped out designs.
  • Expertise in timing closure and block/chip levels and ECO flows.
  • Experience with scripting in an interpreted language (Python, TCL).
  • Willingness to work with others in a highly complex decision space.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication in English, and collaboration skills.
