<div class="content-intro"><p>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.</p></div><p>We are looking for a person ready to take up the challenge of working in a high-profile project where we design and integrate multiple chiplets into a System-in-package, in collaboration with external stakeholders. You will work with Tenstorrent worldwide experts and leaders in the USA, Japan and other countries, and help us make our IP even better. This is a CPU tech-leadership role focused on driving power analysis and projections for the development of CPU chiplet with an emphasis on power analysis. The role involves defining CPUrail planning while collaborating closely with SoC and Board teams. Responsibilities include optimizing the system PDN for Block rails, and managing the power vector plan for comprehensive coverage of Chip level. The position requires driving power analysis on RTL and Netlist using tools like Joules and PrimePower, working with RTL design, synthesis, and physical design teams to measure and optimize power, and evaluating new power optimization techniques at various design stages. Additionally, the role involves tabulating metrics results for analysis comparison and workingwith post-silicon teams to correlate projections with silicon power measurements.</p> <p>This role is<strong> </strong>hybrid, based out of Tokyo, Japan</p> <p>We welcome candidates at various experience levels for this role.
