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 If employment is not possible due to U.S. export laws, any offer of employment will be rescinded. ## About Tenstorrent University Jobs ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Tenstorrent designs high‑performance RISC‑V CPUs and tensor‑based AI processors, and develops open‑source software to unlock the next wave of AI innovation. - **Entity Type**: Private (funding stage not disclosed in provided sources) - **Headquarters**: Multiple locations, including Santa Clara, California, USA and Toronto, Ontario, Canada; additional offices in Austin, Boston, Fort Collins, Belgrade, Warsaw, Bengaluru, Beijing, Pangyo, and Tokyo. - **Founded**: Not specified in provided sources - **Founders**: Not specified in provided sources ## Core Business - **Primary industry/industries**: Semiconductor design / AI hardware accelerators / RISC‑V CPU architecture - **Target customers**: B2B – hyperscalers, AI research labs, enterprises deploying AI inference and training workloads, and OEMs looking for alternative AI compute platforms - **Mission/purpose statement**: “We build RISC‑V CPUs, Tensor AI processors, and open‑source software to unlock the next innovations in AI.” (from [tenstorrent.com](https://tenstorrent.com/en/university)) ## Products & Services - **RISC‑V CPUs**: High‑performance, custom CPU cores designed from scratch for modern AI and general‑purpose workloads. - **Tensor AI Processors**: Accelerators that combine tensor compute with a novel data‑flow architecture to deliver orders‑of‑magnitude performance and efficiency improvements for machine learning. - **Open‑Source Software Stack**: Includes the **TT‑Metal** runtime, an **AI compiler**, **scale‑out fabric** software, and integrations with leading ML frameworks (PyTorch, etc.).
