AI Performance Simulation Architect

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.

Tenstorrent is seeking an AI Performance Simulation Architect to help shape the future of our AI computing. In this role, you'll architect and build scalable cycle-accurate AI accelerator performance models that can run representative AI workloads. Your work will directly inform how we design and optimize future hardware platforms, from high-level performance models to cycle-accurate simulations.

This role is remote, based out of North America or hybrid from one of our offices.

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 a senior technical leader with deep experience in AI accelerator architecture and micro-architecture, performance simulation, and system-level modeling.
• You're comfortable switching between abstraction layersfrom C++ performance models to software frameworks and system requirements.
• You have a strong grasp of AI workloads and how to distill them into inputs for performance models.
• You understand how system design affects the performance and scalability of AI workloads.
• You collaborate well across hardware, software, and research domainsand enjoy mentoring others along the way.
