Sr. Engineer, PCB Power Design (AI)

Location: Hybrid, based in Toronto, Canada

Company

Tenstorrent develops high-performance AI computing platforms combining RISC-V CPUs, software, compilers, networking, and semiconductor technologies.

What you will do

• Design and optimize power distribution systems for next-generation AI accelerator cards.
• Support the full power design lifecycle from component selection and simulation through schematic guidance, board bring-up, validation, debugging, and production readiness.
• Develop and analyze power architectures including multi-phase buck, boost, STC, TLVR, magnetics, voltage regulator tuning, and power distribution networks.
• Perform power consumption analysis, prototyping, testing, voltage regulation module bring-up, and post-silicon troubleshooting.
• Collaborate with hardware, firmware/software, thermal, mechanical, and validation teams to balance performance, area, cost, thermal constraints, and reliability.

Requirements

• Experience designing, analyzing, and debugging power distribution systems for high-performance or high-power products.
• Experience with Simplis, PSim, PowerDC, PowerSI, or similar power design and analysis tools, plus an enterprise eCAD tool.
• Strong understanding of power architectures, control theory, power integrity, PDN analysis and optimization, PCB design, EMI/EMC compliance, and thermal management.
• Knowledge of PCIe CEM, PMBus, and AVSBus standards; familiarity with OCP/OAM, PCIe graphics cards, or datacenter systems is valuable.
• Strong hands-on laboratory, debugging, validation, and troubleshooting skills.
• Employment is contingent on eligibility to access U.S. export-controlled technology and may depend on citizenship, permanent residency, or prior license approval.

Culture & Benefits

• Collaborative environment focused on curiosity and solving technically difficult problems.
• Opportunity to work on next-generation AI accelerator cards and high-performance computing platforms.
• Exposure to the complete hardware development lifecycle and cross-functional system architecture.
• Competitive compensation package and benefits.
• Equal opportunity employment.
