Sr. Engineer, PCB Power Design

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 a PCB Power Design Engineer, you will design and optimize power distribution systems for Tenstorrent’s next-generation AI accelerator cards, balancing performance, area, cost, and reliability. You will contribute across the full power design lifecycle, from component selection and simulation through board bring-up, validation, debugging, and production readiness. Working closely with hardware, firmware/software, thermal, mechanical, and validation teams, you will help deliver robust power architectures for high-performance AI systems.

This role is hybrid, based out of Toronto, Canada.

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

• An electrical engineer with experience designing, analyzing, and debugging power distribution systems for high-performance or high-power products. • A hands-on engineer who enjoys moving from schematics and simulations into lab bring-up, testing, troubleshooting, and design validation. • A systems-oriented collaborator who can work effectively across hardware design, firmware/software, thermal, mechanical, and validation teams. • A detail-oriented problem solver who balances electrical performance, power integrity, thermal constraints, board area, cost, and reliability. • Someone who thrives in a dynamic environment and can contribute at the appropriate scope for their experience level while continuing to grow technically.

What We Need

• Experience with end-to-end power design and analysis tools such as Simplis, PSim, PowerDC, PowerSI, or similar, along with an enterprise eCAD tool. • Deep understanding of power architectures and topologies, including multi-phase buck, boost, STC, TLVR, magnetics, control theory, voltage regulator tuning, power integrity, and PDN analysis and optimization. • Knowledge of PCB design, EMI/EMC compliance, thermal management, and relevant standards including PCIe CEM, PMBus, and AVSBus; familiarity with OCP/OAM and PCIe graphics cards or datacenter systems is valuable. • Strong lab and debugging skills, including voltage regulation module bring-up and validation, power consumption analysis, prototyping, testing, and post-silicon troubleshooting.
