Tenstorrent's Tensix Team is hiring a principal microarchitect to work on the frontend of RISC-V CPU cores that sit at the heart of its AI compute platform. The job involves profiling large language models and other AI workloads for bottlenecks, setting CPU performance requirements, designing custom instructions, and trading performance, power and area against compiler programmability. It asks for 10+ years in CPU microarchitecture and performance modeling plus familiarity with AI workload bottlenecks. Open-source RISC-V experience and agentic AI workflow experience stand out. Based in Toronto, Austin or Santa Clara.
