Tenstorrent is hiring a physical design methodology engineer to own RTL-to-GDS implementation and signoff flows for high-performance CPU cores: synthesis, floorplanning, power planning, place and route, CTS, extraction, STA, SI, EM/IR and physical verification. The role covers automation, constraints, quality metrics and debug workflows, plus evaluating AI/ML-enabled PD tooling and data infrastructure. It asks for 10+ years of ASIC/SoC/CPU experience and Tcl, Python or Perl scripting. The posting says the job is remote in the US; it lists a company-wide $100k–$500k range and an export-control eligibility condition.
