About the role
Tenstorrent is looking for a CPU Cluster Performance Architect to help shape the performance and scalability of our next-generation CPUs. You’ll focus on how multiple CPU cores work together as a cluster — from cache hierarchies and coherent interconnects, to memory bandwidth and overall system behavior. This is a hands-on architecture role for someone who enjoys using performance models and simulation to understand bottlenecks, explore tradeoffs, and influence decisions early in the design process.
What they're looking for
- You have a strong foundation in CPU microarchitecture and performance, with an understanding of how cores, caches, interconnects, and memory systems interact
- You enjoy using modeling, simulation, and workload analysis to understand cluster-level performance bottlenecks and scaling challenges
- You’re comfortable moving between detailed microarchitecture and broader system-level questions around latency, bandwidth, quality of service, utilization, and scalability
- You’re analytical and hands-on, with the ability to turn large amounts of performance data into clear architectural recommendations
- You’re a strong communicator who enjoys working across architecture, RTL, compiler, software, and system teams
