Demonstrated ability to manage schedules, risks, dependencies, and stakeholder communication for complex technical programs. What You Will Learn Gain deep exposure to the development of cutting-edge AI hardware and systems from concept through production. Learn how large-scale, cross-functional engineering organizations coordinate to deliver industry-leading products. Expand your expertise in product development frameworks, program planning methodologies, and operational excellence. Work alongside world-class engineers and leaders across silicon, systems, software, manufacturing, and product organizations to drive next-generation AI platforms. 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 If employment is not possible due to U.S. export laws, any offer of employment will be rescinded.
