Technical Program Manager, Product Software

Tenstorrent•Santa Clara, CA

7h•$100,000 - $500,000•Hybrid

About The Position

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. Tenstorrent is on a quest to find a strong Technical Program Manager to lead the end-to-end software development of our next-generation Chiplet based SiP. The scope spans from architecture to tape-out, silicon debug and software productization - across AI, CPU, Memory and I/O Chiplet domains. If you bring strong expertise in silicon development and exceptional Program Management skills - you will thrive in this role. You’ll drive end-to-end software across pre-silicon and post silicon stages - building complex programs, defining program metrics, pushing boundaries and innovating in the AI Supercomputers space. This role is Hybrid, based out of Santa Clara, CA, Austin, TX, or Toronto, ON. 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.

Requirements

10+ years of experience in technical program management or chip-level engineering, with 2+ years in multi-chip/chiplet systems.
Familiar with heterogeneous compute architectures (AI, CPU, memory, networking) and early software phases (architecture, pre-/post-silicon).
Proven ability to manage 40+ engineer programs, external vendors (PCIe, D2D, Ethernet), and full software stacks from bare-metal to ML frameworks.
Strong understanding of hardware-software codesign at chiplet, package, and system levels.
Highly organized, adaptable, and expert in tools like JIRA, Confluence, and fast-paced decision making

Responsibilities

Devise and manage multi-year software roadmaps and coordinate across silicon, firmware, and runtime teams.
Define success metrics, drive work breakdown structures, and track progress with strong risk management and alignment strategies.
Own shift-left strategies to de-risk bring-up and accelerate time-to-market.
Manage vendor software integrations (PCIe, D2D, Ethernet), and set up robust CI/CD and testing frameworks.
Communicate clearly with executives, engineers, and stakeholders, balancing transparency with thoughtful tradeoff discussions.
