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.

We are looking for a highly-skilled CPU Workload Performance Analysis Engineer to drive workload characterization, performance simulation, and in-depth performance analysis for cutting-edge CPU products. In this role, you will collaborate closely with CPU architects, RTL designers, and software engineers to reduce real-world applications for performance modeling, analyze workload characteristics, identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, and optimize performance-per-watt efficiency. Your work will directly influence the design and implementation of next-generation high-performance computing platforms across diverse workloads.

This role is open to Santa Clara, CA, Austin, TX, Boston, MA, Toronto, ON, Ottawa, ON, or open to Remote in North America

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.


Responsibilities:

  • Conduct competitive analysis of the latest CPU products using industry-standard benchmarks and emerging applications.
  • Characterize CPU workloads, identifying performance bottlenecks and power inefficiencies in hardware and software interactions.
  • Collaborate with CPU architects and RTL designers to enhance microarchitectural features and improve performance/watt metrics.
  • Reduce workloads for CPU performance modeling, FPGA emulation, and model-to-RTL correlation.
  • Utilize performance models, EDA frameworks, and profiling tools to measure, characterize, and predict CPU performance and power under various workloads.
  • Stay up to date with industry trends, new workload requirements, and advancements in CPU microarchitecture and performance analysis techniques.


Experience & Qualifications:

  • Ph.D. in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Strong research background or industry expertise in benchmark construction, workload characterization, workload reduction, and performance simulation.
  • Proficiency in performance profiling tools such as Linux Perf, Strace, AMD’s uProf, Arm’s Telemetry Solution, or similar tools.
  • Deep understanding of CPU microarchitecture concepts, including superscalar pipelines, speculative execution, SIMD, and memory hierarchy.
  • Strong knowledge of operating system internals, runtimes, compilers, and GNU libraries.
  • Proficiency in C/C++, intrinsic/assembly programming, and scripting languages such as Python and Shell.
  • Excellent problem-solving and communication skills and the ability to work across multidisciplinary teams.
  • Experience with Ansible automation and GitLab CI is a plus.
  • Experience with GCC or LLVM compiler optimization is a plus
  • Familiarity with HPC and cloud virtualization is a plus.

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.

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

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
