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’re building the future of AI compute — and keeping that future cool requires innovation at scale. We’re looking for an engineer who thrives on solving complex infrastructure challenges to design and deliver the next generation of liquid cooling systems for large AI clusters. In this role, you’ll work closely with cross-functional teams, create resilient and reliable cooling strategies, and help shape datacenter infrastructure that powers breakthrough AI workloads.
This role is hybrid, based out of Toronto, Canada, Austin, Texas OR Santa Clara, California.
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
- An engineer with a background in datacenter thermal design (a degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering is valuable but not required).
- Someone who enjoys tackling complex liquid cooling challenges and has experience working directly with cooling systems.
- Comfortable with fluids, pressure testing, and leak detection to ensure safe, reliable designs.
- Familiar with monitoring and control systems and how they integrate with facility HVAC infrastructure.
- Experienced with single-phase liquid cooling (bonus if you’ve worked with two-phase).
What We Need
- A technical leader to architect and implement liquid cooling infrastructure for AI training and inference clusters.
- An engineer to define operational standards, safety protocols, and CDU control strategies that maintain uptime.
- A collaborator who can partner with mechanical, software, and system engineering teams to deliver advanced cooling solutions.
- An innovator to design leak detection methods and monitoring systems that safeguard mission-critical environments.
- A trusted contributor to support AI cluster deployments for internal and external customers.
What You Will Learn
- Collaboration with experts across thermal, mechanical, and systems engineering.
- Practical experience integrating telemetry, sensors, and CDU controls into datacenter operations.
- Exposure to next-generation liquid cooling technologies, including pumped two-phase solutions.
- A chance to help define industry-leading infrastructure that supports the world’s most advanced AI systems.
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.
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.
