Sr Staff Engineer, SoC RTL Design

Who You Are

A digital design expert with a deep understanding of computer architecture and IP microarchitecture.

Skilled in RTL development (Verilog/VHDL) and familiar with full ASIC flows.

Comfortable optimizing for power, performance, and area (PPA) under aggressive design goals.

Naturally collaborative and technical engineer — you thrive in spec definition, peer reviews, and team-wide planning.

What We Need

• Architecture and RTL implementation of Tenstorrent’s custom IP blocks and SoC components.
• Performance-aware design decisions for compute, interconnect, or memory-heavy blocks.
• Occasional contributions to validation using emulation, FPGA prototyping, or UVM flows.
• Strong synthesis and timing closure awareness to support backend teams.
• Prior experience in on-chip fabric and interconnect designs is an asset.

What You Will Learn

• How cutting-edge AI chips are built, from spec to silicon.
• What it takes to collaborate with teams designing novel processor and memory architectures.
• How to blend custom logic with standard SoC elements for power and scale.
• How cross-functional workflows come together across design, DV, physical, and firmware teams.
