Interconnect and Compute Architect

About the role

Tenstorrent is seeking a Interconnect and Compute Architect to help define and build next-generation CPU networking architecture for both datacenter and emerging robotics/automotive applications. The initial focus will be datacenter networking, with robotics as the first target within the automotive/robotics space.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to our current datacenter networking efforts while also helping to seed and specify future medium- to low-power robotics/automotive devices for AI/ML compute and sensor ingest.
• Build next-generation CPU networking architectures for both high-performance datacenters.
• Collaborate across hardware, software, and systems teams to define and refine networking requirements.
• Guide architectural decisions through the intersection of forwarding, buffering, modeling, and RTL design.
• Understand and implement AI/ML specific protocols and implementations.
• Learn how to build extreme low latency networks across ethernet topologies and high performance computing (HPC) topologies.

Requirements

• Knowledge of Ethernet network architecture and how performance is modeled.
• Experience with die-to-die interfaces and understanding associated protocols and design tradeoffs.
• Understanding of Ethernet networking concepts and their mapping onto on-chip and off-chip fabrics.
• Experience with datacenter scale up architectures like UALink, NVLink, and Broadcom SUE.
• Experience with scale out RDMA protocols like RoCE, Infiniband, and others.

Qualifications

• You thrive while navigating multiple priorities and ambiguous, evolving requirements.
• You have experience with die-to-die interfaces and understanding associated protocols and design tradeoffs.
• You understand Ethernet networking concepts and their mapping onto on-chip and off-chip fabrics.
• You have experience with datacenter scale up architectures like UALink, NVLink, and Broadcom SUE.
• You have experience with scale out RDMA protocols like RoCE, Infiniband, and others.
