Role summary
We are seeking a senior engineer to enhance the high-performance computing infrastructure for silicon development. This hybrid role in Austin, TX, focuses on improving reliability, performance, and user experience at the intersection of EDA, distributed systems, CI/CD, and developer productivity. You will help engineering teams run simulations and verification with fewer failures and shorter feedback cycles. The ideal candidate has an advanced engineering degree, over seven years of industry experience, expertise in Git, SQL, and AI-assisted development tools, and a systems-oriented approach to unblocking technical teams and boosting productivity.
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.
