Company mission
To bring unique solutions to the problems facing AI and machine learning.
Role
Who you are
- A technically strong leader with experience in CPU, SoC, or silicon development
- Skilled in aligning cross-functional teams to deliver complex, high-performance hardware programs
- Proactive problem solver who thrives in dynamic, fast-paced environments
- A clear communicator who can engage engineers and executives alike
- Ownership of full-cycle CPU program management—from spec to tapeout and post-silicon debug
- Ability to define scope, schedule, and resources, and lead execution across architecture, design, verification, and DFT teams
- Proven experience driving silicon development, managing risk, and delivering milestones
- Experience with Functional Safety (FuSa) standards and implementation, especially ISO 26262 and an understanding of automotive industry requirements and standards for hardware development is highly desirable
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a driven Engineering Program Manager—or a hands-on technical lead ready to step into program management—to help lead the charge on our RISC-V CPU team
- In this role, you’ll be at the center of the action, working across architecture, design, verification, physical design, and DFT to drive the full lifecycle of a high-performance CPU—from spec to tapeout to post-silicon debug
- You’ll partner with key stakeholders to define bold objectives, lock in milestones, and align the resources needed to bring next-gen compute to life
- How to lead the delivery of cutting-edge RISC-V CPU IP at scale, both internally and for external customers
- Partnering with top engineers to resolve real-time design challenges, drive schedule trade-offs, and push forward high-impact decisions
- Leading project reviews and reporting to senior leadership on metrics, risks, and mitigation plans
Application process
- 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
Our take
Advances in artificial intelligence apps, combined with a global chip shortage, are strong tailwinds for chip processor Tenstorrent. The semi-conducter developer is designing specialized chips for running artificial intelligence applications, building chips for what it calls "software 2.0".
The company’s unique approach is to build for this future software, which it believes will be written at a higher level. Combining this with conditional computing, Tenstorrent supports a scalable distributed network approach that is analogous to a human brain.
While the market for specialised AI hardware is destined to be gigantic, the company has to compete with a plethora of hopeful startups (as well as major tech companies like NVIDIA and Qualcomm). That said, Tenstorrent boasts an excellent trajectory so far, with its latest moves including unveiling its high-end Wormhole AI processors, and a partnership with LG which will see the development of chips for "Affectionate Intelligence".
