Summary Generated by Built In

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.

Join us leading the charge in powering next-generation semiconductor products. You’ll dive deep into real silicon performance, developing innovative measurement strategies and collaborating across teams to turn data into impactful design improvements. If you’re excited by hands-on problem solving and shaping cutting-edge technology, this is the role for you!

This role is on-site, 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 

  • You’re driven by the challenge of characterizing and optimizing power in advanced silicon technologies.
  • You’re passionate about understanding how power behaves in real silicon and love digging into data to uncover root causes and optimization opportunities.
  • You have hands-on experience with lab tools and test automation, and you thrive in cross-functional environments where architecture, design, and validation come together.
  • You like connecting simulation models with actual product behavior to help improve designs and ensure quality.

What We Need

  • A technical leader to plan and execute measurement strategies that characterize product power and performance across various scenarios.
  • Someone to develop automated workflows and high-precision measurement infrastructure for accurate power profiling across modes and conditions.
  • A collaborator who partners with design and modeling teams to investigate discrepancies and improve power estimation techniques.
  • A collaborative contributor to help refine pre-silicon estimation tools, characterize power under PVT conditions, and support design margin and product qualification.

What You Will Learn

  • How power behaves in state-of-the-art silicon under real-world operating conditions — and how to drive improvements that impact performance, efficiency, and product success.
  • Techniques for automating complex measurement workflows and correlating data with pre-silicon simulations.
  • How different teams across architecture, design, validation, and systems converge to bring complex silicon to life.
  • How to lead and influence product direction through deep technical insight, data-driven analysis, and cross-functional collaboration.

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.
