Description For Senior ASIC Design Engineer

Tenstorrent is at the forefront of AI technology, revolutionizing performance, usability, and cost-efficiency in the industry. As AI reshapes computing, we're developing solutions that unite innovations across software models, compilers, platforms, networking, and semiconductors. Our team of diverse technologists has created a high-performance RISC-V CPU from scratch, driven by a shared passion for AI and a commitment to building the best AI platform possible.

We're seeking a skilled professional to join our high-profile project, designing and integrating multiple chiplets into a System-in-package. This role involves collaboration with external stakeholders and Tenstorrent experts worldwide. You'll be responsible for synthesis and place and route using industry-standard tools for high-speed CPU core design, with a focus on cutting-edge silicon technology (5nm and lower) and multi-GHz design.

Based in Tokyo, Japan, this position offers the opportunity to work with a global team, contribute to groundbreaking technology, and help refine our IP. We welcome candidates at various experience levels, with offers aligned to the appropriate level determined during the interview process.

Key responsibilities include performing all aspects of the design flow, developing strategies for reproducible design convergence, and mentoring junior engineers. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in SoC/ASIC/GPU/CPU design flows, expertise in timing closure, and strong skills in scripting and communication.

Join Tenstorrent to be part of a collaborative, curious team committed to solving hard problems and shaping the future of AI computing. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, and we're an equal opportunity employer. Note that due to U.S. Export Control laws, citizenship/permanent residency information may be required as a condition of employment.
