Physical Design Engineer

A hands-on engineer with deep expertise in SOC/ASIC physical design and a track record of successful tapeouts. - Passionate about optimizing PPA through innovative implementation techniques and close RTL collaboration. - Strong problem solver who excels at debugging complex issues across design hierarchies. - Collaborative team player who thrives in fast-paced, technically challenging environments. What We Need

BS/MS/PhD in EE/ECE/CE/CS with proven experience in synthesis, PnR, and timing closure on taped-out designs. - Expertise with industry-standard tools (FusionCompiler, PrimeTime, RedHawk) and scripting languages (Tcl, Perl, Python). - Deep understanding of advanced node challenges and low-power design techniques (power gating, multi-Vt, voltage scaling). - Experience driving physical design requirements from early architecture through final signoff. What You Will Learn

How to implement cutting-edge AI accelerators, high-performance CPUs and the SOCs that host them on the most advanced process nodes. - Innovative PPA optimization techniques and methodologies for next-generation chiplet architectures. - End-to-end ownership from flow development to signoff in collaboration with architecture and IP teams. - Direct impact on products that are redefining the landscape of AI and high-performance computing. Compensation for all engineers at Tenstorrent ranges from $100k - $500k including base and variable compensation targets. 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.
