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. Tenstorrent is looking for a CPU Cluster Performance Architect to help shape the performance and scalability of our next-generation CPUs. You’ll focus on how multiple CPU cores work together as a cluster — from cache hierarchies and coherent interconnects, to memory bandwidth and overall system behavior. This is a hands-on architecture role for someone who enjoys using performance models and simulation to understand bottlenecks, explore tradeoffs, and influence decisions early in the design process. You’ll work closely with CPU architects, RTL designers, softwar
