Staff, Component Engineer

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.

Want to be part of the leading edge of AI hardware? Tenstorrent is looking for a Component Engineer who is passionate about selecting the right parts, driving cost optimization, and ensuring critical components are available to support scalable AI compute systems. This role sits at the intersection of hardware design, supply chain strategy, and vendor management, helping ensure we can deliver cutting-edge AI platforms without delays from component shortages or supply chain risk.

This role is on-site, based out of Santa Clara, California or Toronto, Canada.

We welcome candidates at various experience levels for this role. During the interview process, candidates will be assessed for the appropriate level, and offers will align with that level, which may differ from the one in this posting.

Who You Are

• You’re interested in how hardware systems get built end-to-end and like working close to the components that make high-performance computing possible.

• You have 5+ years of experience in component engineering, hardware engineering, or supply chain roles within computing, networking, or complex electronic systems, supported by a degree in electrical engineering or a related field.

• You have a strong understanding of key electronic components, such as semiconductors, memory, power, passives, and connectors and you care about both technical performance and real-world availability.

• You’re comfortable working through tradeoffs like cost, performance, and supply risk, and you enjoy collaborating with cross-functional engineering and supply chain teams to find practical solutions.
