[Hiring] Performance Analysis Engineer @Tenstorrent

Role Description

Tenstorrent is looking for a Workload Performance Analysis Engineer to help build the performance optimization foundation for our next-generation RISC-V CPUs. This role will help close the gap in how modern software workloads perform on RISC-V by:

• Understanding how real-world applications behave on the CPU.
• Developing analysis, optimization, and workload methodologies needed to improve performance.
• Profiling and characterizing workloads.
• Identifying where performance is being lost.
• Reducing complex applications into representative workloads.
• Working with CPU architects and software engineers to determine changes that can deliver the biggest gains.

This role is remote, based out of North America. We welcome candidates at various experience levels for this role.

Qualifications

• New PhD graduate in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Strong background in computer architecture, systems, workload analysis, or performance optimization.
• Experience working with PHP, Python, Java, Node.js, or similar production software stacks.
• Comfortable using profiling, simulation, and data analysis to identify performance bottlenecks.
• Excited about optimizing modern datacenter and AI workloads for high-performance CPUs.

Requirements

• PhD in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Research or project experience in computer architecture, workload characterization, performance analysis, systems, or optimization.
• Strong understanding of modern CPU architecture, including pipelines, speculative execution, caches, memory hierarchies, branch prediction, and vector/SIMD processing.
• Experience analyzing software workloads using tools such as Linux perf, profiling/tracing tools, QEMU, simulators, or equivalent performance-analysis environments.
• Strong programming skills in C/C++, Python, and scripting.
• Experience with one or more high-level application environments such as PHP, Java, or Node.js.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

Benefits

• Highly competitive compensation package.
• Compensation for all engineers ranges from $100k - $500k including base and variable compensation targets.
• Equal opportunity employer.
