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. We're looking for an Engineering Program Manager — or a technical engineer ready to move into program management — to help drive execution on our RISC-V CPU team. You'll work across architecture, design, verification, physical design, and DFT to keep a high-performance CPU program moving from spec through tapeout and post-silicon debug. Partnering with a senior program lead and engineering managers, you'll own schedules, track milestones, surface risks early, and keep cross-functional teams aligned. This role is hybrid, based out of Austin, TX or Santa Clara, CA. 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 Experience in CPU, SoC, or silicon development — as an engineer, technical lead, or program manager. Comfortable working with cross-functional engineering teams and translating technical detail into clear status, dependencies, and trade-offs. Organized and proactive; you chase down open items rather than waiting for them to resolve. A clear communicator who can hold your own in engineering discussions and write updates leadership can act on. What We Need Support the full CPU development cycle — spec, design, verification, DFT, ta

The Silicon Co-Design Group (SCG) sits at the crossroads of architecture, design, marketing, operations, and productization. Our work spans early architecture through final product delivery across Datacenter, Gaming, Robotics, Automotive, and Embedded markets. We work closely across functions to deliver chips that change what is possible. System Integration sits at the intersection of all of them. It is the layer where every architecture, design, software, and manufacturing decision meets reality. When something breaks late in a program, it usually breaks here first. We are hiring a Senior Manager to lead this team in the US and partner closely with teams globally. Your work will sit on the critical path of every NVIDIA silicon program, and the bar you set for system integration is the bar we ship to! The two hardest, highest-leverage problems in this seat: Find critical silicon issues earlier — often before software is production-ready. Left-shifting post-silicon coverage is the highest-value thing System Integration can do. Standing up wide-area testing as a repeatable capability is a core part of the role. Keep programs on milestone when upstream dependencies slip. Validation plans collide with reality every program! The team needs new strategies, not just contingency plans, to keep moving when software, firmware, or methodology slip. You will design and run those strategies. What you’ll be doing: Plan and execute post-silicon feature integration, PVT validation, and wide-area testing across NVIDIA’s GPU, SoC, and CPU programs. Build wide-area and in-system test as a repeatable capability that shifts post-silicon coverage left, so issues surface before we are production-ready. Lead resolution of the most complex system-level issues, RMAs, and HW/SW interaction problems with creative workarounds and focused lab experimentation. Deve

Build the infrastructure that keeps every NVIDIA chip aligned from first spec to final shipment. NVIDIA's Silicon Co-Design Group sits at the convergence of architecture, silicon, systems, and manufacturing. The System–Manufacturing Architecture (SMAC) team coordinates between system specifications and manufacturing test specifications from pre-silicon POR through production release across GPU, SoC, and CPU programs. When that alignment drifts, silicon faces the consequences: escapes, yield loss, and performance loss. We're hiring a Senior Manufacturing & System Co-Design Workflow Engineer to lead the methodology and infrastructure that maintains holistic, systematic alignment, at scale across the full portfolio. The strongest candidates in this role design the workflow before being asked to fix a program, and build the checks and automation that confirm alignment holds long after they've moved on to the next problem. What you’ll be doing: SMAC Workflow Methodology: Define manufacturing spec types, including schema and semantics, derived from system PORs and features. Own the methodology that governs how specification work gets structured, versioned, and validated across the program lifecycle. Production Python Pipelines & Automated Checks: Develop production-grade Python pipelines and automated checks that catch specification drift between system POR and manufacturing test programs ,ATE, SLT, BLT, L10+, before silicon exposes the discrepancy. The goal is that misalignments surface in the workflow, not on the tester. E2E Program Integration & TPM Attestation: Wire SMAC work into the end-to-end program spine, milestones, gates, and artifacts, and define explicit TPM-driven attestation when checks lag. Alignment can't be assumed; it must be proven at every stage. Agent-Ready Tooling & CI Infrastructure: Integrate tooling into an agent-ready

NVIDIA’s Silicon Co-Design Group is the team that gets every GPU, SoC, and CPU silicon program from first power-on to high-volume production. We are hiring a Senior Manager to lead our Test, Manufacturability, Reliability & Quality (TMRQ) organization. This is not a coordination role . Your work decides if a product can be built at scale and trusted in the field. These include production test development (SLT, BLT), control run flow, system reliability stress (HTOL), platform- and board-level manufacturing issue closure, and field diagnostic test development. You lead a team of individual contributors and a first-line manager at the layer where silicon, platform, and software collide with manufacturing reality. Decisions you make show up in yield curves, production ramp , and customer escapes. You are the leader the program turns to when a build is stuck, a control run is fallout-heavy, or a field return points back at silicon . The exceptional hire also uses AI deliberately — with demonstrated workflow impact and the judgment to know where it compresses real work and where it introduces risk. What you will be doing: Keep programs moving. Own the technical execution and velocity of SLT, BLT, Board/Chip/Rack CR, and system reliability stress (HTOL) across every GPU, SoC, and CPU silicon program. Close the hardest multi-functional failures. Resolve Vmin and binning escapes, performance shortfalls, and power anomalies by driving root-cause across design, methodology, DFT, ATE, package, software/firmware, and manufacturing — and own the WARs and productized fixes through to confirmation. Give leadership the clarity to act. Convert raw integration signals — CR fallout, BLT/SLT yield, SHTOL/CHTOL data, RMA trends, customer escalations — into decision-ready options that enable executive leadership to act with confidence on POR, QS/PS gates, a
