Bengaluru, Karnataka, India Tenstorrent Full time ₹ 12,00,000 - ₹ 36,00,000 per year

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.

As part of our Physical Design team, you will work on high-performance designs alongside world-class engineers, covering everything from synthesis to tapeout across various IP blocks.

This role is onsite, based out of Bangalore.

We're looking for experienced professionals with hands-on expertise in physical design. Your role and offer will align with the experience demonstrated during interviews, which may differ from the level in this posting.

Who You Are

  • You enjoy solving complex timing, power, and layout problems at advanced nodes.
  • You've worked on multiple chip tapeouts and understand physical design flows end-to-end.
  • You're comfortable using tools like Innovus, Primetime, and RedHawk.
  • You like working closely with cross-functional teams to deliver high-quality silicon.

What We Need

  • Take ownership of blocks from synthesis to sign-off: floorplanning, PnR, clocking, and optimization.
  • Define physical design needs in collaboration with front-end and architecture teams.
  • Coordinate with foundry partners, IP vendors, and design services during integration.
  • Improve design quality and drive area, power, and performance improvements through flow tuning and RTL experiments.

What You Will Learn

  • How high-performance CPU and AI chips are built at leading-edge technology nodes.
  • Techniques to push the limits of performance, power, and area in real silicon.
  • How front-end, back-end, and validation teams work together to ship a product.
  • Ways to evolve implementation workflows and improve team efficiency.
