Technical Program Manager, Architecture

Overview 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 has built advanced compute architectures from the ground up and shares a passion for AI to build the best platforms possible. We value collaboration, curiosity, and a commitment to solving hard problems. The Technical Program Manager will drive the end‑to‑end execution of next‑generation SoCs, from early architecture through RTL, verification, DFT, physical design, tape‑out, and post‑silicon validation. Who You Are Comfortable operating at the intersection of technology, execution, and business. Skilled at breaking down complexity into clear goals and deliverables. A strong communicator who ensures alignment across technical and non‑technical teams. Proactive, adaptable, and capable of thriving in ambiguity. Driven by impact and motivated to shape the future of silicon and AI platforms. What We Need Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering or related field. 10+ years of semiconductor experience (CPU, Physical Design, RTL, Design Verification, or Program Management). Strong understanding of chip architecture, design flows, and system‑level tradeoffs. Familiarity with industry standards across compute and SoC (e.g., ARM, RISC‑V, AI accelerators, interconnect protocols). Experience leading large, cross‑functional engineering teams and managing dependencies. Proficiency with project management tools (e.g., JIRA, Confluence) and structured reporting. What You Will Learn How advanced SoC programs integrate CPUs, accelerators, interconnect, and memory subsystems. The balance of technical tradeoffs across power, performance, area, and time‑to‑market. Best practices for coordinating hardware, software, and system teams on high‑stakes projects. Insights into emerging technologies in AI compute, networking, and silicon platforms. How to manage execution across multiple global teams in a fast‑moving environment. Compensation 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. Export Control and Eligibility 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. Equal Opportunity Employer Tenstorrent offers a highly competitive compensation package and benefits, and we are an equal opportunity employer. #J-18808-Ljbffr Tenstorrent Inc.
