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 seeking a visionary Silicon Lead to launch and guide our new team focused
on automotive and robotics. This is a rare opportunity to define the functional
safety roadmap for high-performance AI silicon and shape how it’s deployed in
next-generation vehicles and intelligent machines.
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.
Who You Are
- Experienced in delivering safety-critical hardware, with a proven ability to
design and/or validate complex CPUs or AI accelerators for automotive or
robotics applications.
- A leader who builds and motivates high-performing engineering teams, setting
ambitious standards and driving cross-functional execution.
- Skilled in navigating safety standards like ISO 26262, architecting solutions
that balance compliance with accelerated development timelines.
- Adept at solving complex technical challenges across hardware, software, and
systems in dynamic, interdisciplinary environments.
What We Need
- Set the vision and build the robotics AI hardware team, driving hiring,
growth, and long-term strategy.
- Adapt Tenstorrent’s high-performance silicon to meet the functional safety
requirements of next-gen automotive and robotics systems.
- Collaborate closely with hardware, verification, and systems teams to ensure
a seamless and safety-compliant development flow.
- Lead functional safety initiatives hands-on, with a deep focus on execution
quality and reliability standards.
What You Will Learn
- How to apply Tenstorrent’s AI engine to real-world, safety-critical
automotive/robotics use cases.
- The end-to-end process of chiplet-based silicon development, from design and
packaging to testing and validation.
- How to align hardware innovation with business strategy in a fast-evolving
commercial landscape.
- What it takes to pioneer a new category of AI hardware for robotics and
automotive applications.
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.
