RTL Engineer, Automotive Robotics

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 Tenstorrent’s Automotive RTL team, you will help design and deliver the core hardware modules inside our next generation chiplet based SoC. This is a hands on role where your RTL will ship in silicon, powering real automotive systems under strict performance and safety constraints. If you are looking to build silicon that actually matters, not just compile, this is where you want to be. This role is remote, based in Munich, Germany. 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 Design-first, spec-driven, and used to debugging silicon the hard way. Know how to translate system requirements into clean, testable RTL. Have experience writing and maintaining configurable, modular code. Interested in building silicon that will run critical workloads in safety-sensitive environments. Background with high-speed die-to-die interfaces preferred (UCIe, BoW, etc). What We Need An engineer with 5+ years of experience to develop and own RTL for key modules in Tenstorrent’s automotive SoC chiplets. Someone who can collaborate with IP vendors and internal teams to configure and integrate complex subsystems. Detail-oriented in writing microarchitecture specs and translating them into clean, efficient RTL. Passion to jump into chiplet-level integration, testing, and bring-up from day one. What You Will Learn How automotive-grade RTL differs from consumer silicon and why it matters. What it takes to bring up a custom chiplet in a real automotive use case. Why chiplets demand more ownership and reward deeper engineering. How cross-functional communication accelerates hardware development. 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.
