Tenstorrent Inc.
Physical Design Senior Physical Design Engineer Fort Collins, Colorado, United S
Tenstorrent Inc., Jackson, Mississippi, United States
Overview
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.
Physical design for high-performance designs going into industry leading CPU and AI/ML architecture. The person coming into this role will be involved in all implementation aspects from synthesis to tapeout for various IPs on the chip. The work is done alongside with a group of highly experienced engineers across various domains of the AI chip.
This role is hybrid, based out of Austin, Santa Clara or Ft Collins.
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.
Responsibilities
Define PD requirements by working closely with the front-end team, understand the chip architecture and drive physical aspects early in the design cycle
Physical design tasks including such as synthesis, PnR, timing closure, area improvement, floorplanning, clocking, I/O planning and power optimization
Discussions with 3rd party IP providers, foundry partners and design services
End to end tasks from flow development to sign-off
Deploy innovative techniques for improving power, performance and area of the design, drive experiments with RTL, and evaluate synthesis, timing and power results
Experience & Qualifications
BS/MS/PhD in EE/ECE/CE/CS
Hands-on experience with synthesis, block and chip level implementation with industry standard PnR flows and tools
Strong experience in SOC/ASIC/GPU/CPU design flows on taped out designs, expertise in timing closure at block/chip levels and ECO flows
Experience with back-end design tools such as Primetime, Innovus, RedHawk, etc.
Knowledge of low-power design flows such as power gating, multi-Vt and voltage scaling
Strong programming skills in Tcl/Perl/Shell/Python
Excellent understanding of logic design fundamentals and gate/transistor level implementation
Exposure to DFT is an asset
Prior experience working on high performance technology nodes and understanding of deep sub-micron design problems/solutions
Strong problem solving and debug skills across various levels of design hierarchies
Job Type This role is hybrid, based out of Austin, TX; Santa Clara, CA; or Fort Collins, CO
Compensation & Benefits 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.
Export Control & Work Authorization Due to U.S. Export Control laws and regulations, Tenstorrent is required to ensure compliance with licensing regulations when transferring technology to nationals of certain countries that have been sanctioned by the U.S. government. As this position will have direct and/or indirect access to information, systems, or technologies that are subject to U.S. Export Control laws and regulations, citizenship/permanent residency information and/or documentation will be required and considered as Tenstorrent moves through the employment process.
Equal Opportunity Tenstorrent is an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of any protected status under applicable law.
