Job description

Leader, IP Engineering and Delivery - RISC V

United States

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.

Tenstorrent is looking for a leader who can help customers own their silicon future as they deploy industry leading RiscV based IP designs in their products. You will work closely with engineers who design and implement CPUs, System components, DV tools, FPGA prototypes, compilers and more. Success in this role will entail putting everything together in a portfolio and ensuring that customers find deploying Tenstorrent IP a fun experience!

A strong CPU and/or CPU based SOC background with a foundation in design and verification methodology is essential for this role. Prior experience managing cross-functional teams and a mindset that is excited by planning and thrives on execution would be great. And if you’ve got a background in putting together and delivering IP, then you’ve just crossed the rubicon!

We are big on leaders who let chaos reign and then rein in chaos!

This role is based in Santa Clara, CA or Austin, TX, however we are also open for remote candidates in the US.

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.

Who You Are

• A leader excited to manage cross-functional engineering teams delivering RISC-V IP products
• Someone who thrives in planning, execution, and guiding complex projects from concept to deployment
• A strong communicator who enjoys collaborating with sales, product, and application engineers for customer success
• A problem-solver motivated by building scalable solutions that enable customer adoption

What We Need

• BS/MS/PhD in Computer or Electrical Engineering, or a related field
• Deep expertise in CPU architecture, SoC integration, and design/verification methodologies
• Proven track record of design or DV ownership and leading engineering teams
• Strong ability to align teams, influence organizational objectives, and drive execution
• Hands-on experience with IP packaging, delivery workflows, and customer enablement

What You Will Learn

• How customers adopt and deploy RISC-V IP in real-world products and systems
• What product and engineering differentiators are required to WIN in the competitive IP market
• How to leverage AI-first workflows to deliver, package, and support IP more efficiently
• Ways to refine customer experience by connecting technical delivery with business outcomes
