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.

At Tenstorrent, we build open, state of art compute for AI and RISC‑V. You will create and own our quality organization across hardware systems and custom silicon, setting the standards that let us scale fast without sacrificing reliability. This role requires regular domestic and international travel to suppliers, contract manufacturers, and Tenstorrent sites.

This role is hybrid, based out of Toronto, ON.

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

• 12+ years driving hardware or semiconductor quality across design, process, incoming, supplier, and systems.

• Experienced with servers, PCs, and/or PCIe cards, plus ASIC or custom silicon quality.

• Comfortable leading global CM and supplier audits and traveling frequently worldwide.

• You have experience working in companies that have transitioned from R&D to Product focused.

• Have built a quality org and QMS from zero and can explain your design choices.

What We Need

• Build the quality team from scratch, including org design, hiring, and cross‑functional ownership.

• Own the QMS, including ISO 9001, documentation, audits, KPIs, and continuous improvement.

• Drive Design for Quality for hardware and silicon, from bring‑up through post‑silicon validation.

• Define manufacturing controls, FMEAs, control plans, NPI quality gates, and supplier quality programs.

What You Will Learn

• How to apply open, state of art compute to demanding hardware and silicon quality problems.

• To shape quality culture, metrics, and supplier relationships for a fast‑growing silicon company.

• How reliability data, field returns, and standards like JEDEC and IPC drive product decisions.

• To scale quality systems that support hyperscaler, cloud, and semiconductor startup customers.

Tenstorrent offers a highly competitive compensation package and benefits, and we are an equal opportunity employer.

This offer of employment is contingent upon the applicant being eligible to access U.S. 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. If employment is not possible due to U.S. export laws, any offer of employment will be rescinded.
