• A strategic problem-solver who creates clarity from ambiguity, identifying critical technical hurdles and charting a clear course to industry-leading solutions.
• A key leadership partner who fosters strategic partnerships across architecture, digital, software, and manufacturing to ensure our IP meets aggressive company-level outcomes.

What we need

• BSEE/MSEE/PhD with extensive, industry-leading experience in analog/mixed-signal IC design, specifically in pushing the boundaries of PLL and AMS design in advanced FinFET processes.
• A proven track record of driving functional goals and owning outcomes that have had a measurable impact across an entire company or product line.
• Deep expertise in high-speed datacomm/Ser Des and die-to-die PHY design, with the ability to foresee and articulate emerging trends and technical challenges.
• Mastery of the full silicon lifecycle, with the foresight to anticipate long-term impacts of design decisions on production quality and scalability.
• An influential mentor and advisor who defines and models technical excellence, shaping the company’s engineering culture.
• Expertise in formulating strategic solutions for complex circuits (bias generators, LDOs, ADCs/DACs, etc.) that solve novel technical challenges at the forefront of the industry.

What you will do

• Establish Company Vision: Set the technical roadmap for die-to-die chiplet PHY IP, ensuring Tenstorrent remains at the cutting edge of advanced FinFET nodes.
• Drive Strategic Solutions: Identify and solve emerging technical problems that impact the organization at a strategic level, using novel techniques and expert-level judgment.
• Elevate the Organization: Act as a mentor and advisor to all levels of the engineering team, fostering a culture of innovation and excellence.
• Own Company Outcomes: Take responsibility for specific company-level outcomes, ensuring that AMS IP is not only high-performing but also scalable and reusable across the entire product portfolio.

Compensation for all engineers at Tenstorrent ranges from $100k - $500k including base and variable compensation targets. Experience, skills, education, background and location all impact the actual offer made.
