About the role

With AI redefining the computing paradigm, solutions must evolve to unify innovations in software models, compilers, platforms, networking, and semiconductors.
We value collaboration, curiosity, and a commitment to solving hard problems.
This role is Remote, based out of The United States.

Responsibilities

RISC-V CPU Unit Microarchitecture Specification: Define and develop microarchitecture specifications for the assigned unit (branch predictor, rename, instruction scheduling, vector execution, load/store, vector load/store support).
The specification includes not only design, but also comprehensive analysis / strategy for verification and PPA (power, performance, area) closure.
RISC-V CPU Core Unit RTL Design: The candidate will be responsible for the quality of RTL including design verification and PPA closure.
AI Assisted Design Adaption: To maximize the team's output, the candidate actively uses AI tools to accelerate the CPU design process.
Define and develop microarchitecture specifications for the assigned unit (branch predictor, rename, instruction scheduling, vector execution, load/store, vector load/store support).
The candidate will be responsible for the quality of RTL including design verification and PPA closure.

Requirements

Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
Proven track record of designing high-performance CPU RTL for x86, Arm, POWER, SPARC, or RISC-V.
Proficiency in hardware description languages (HDLs) such as Verilog, SystemVerilog or VHDL.
Strong communication skills, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to diverse audiences.
Ability to work collaboratively in a team-oriented environment and across multiple disciplines.
Deep understanding of design verification strategy and trade-offs for verification methodology (simulation, formal, various checkers, etc…)
Deep understanding of CPU microarchitecture and PPA trade-off.
Excellent problem-solving abilities and analytical skills.
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.
