SOC Architect

tenstorrent Munich, Germany


No Relocation

Posted: March 2, 2026

Job Description

The Architecture team at Tenstorrent is designing the central compute chiplet that powers our next generation automotive SoC. This role is about turning real world automotive and safety requirements into architecture that performs, scales, and ships fast and reliably. If you think silicon design should start with clarity and end with confidence, this is where your experience makes the biggest impact.

This role is remote, based in Munich, Germany.

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

  • Approach design with a systems mindset, always thinking in trade offs, not just specs and block diagrams.
  • Bring deep knowledge of SoC architecture, from interconnects and I/O to memory and CPUs.
  • Confident working within performance, power, and reliability constraints.
  • Familiar with, or eager to dive into, functional safety, ISO 26262, and automotive grade design challenges.

 

What We Need

  • Someone to architect and specify one or more chiplets in the robotics and automotive family.
  • 5+ years of experience translating high level requirements into detailed architectural direction.
  • Ability to identify impactful features that boost PPA, safety, and reliability, without adding unnecessary complexity.
  • Willingness to collaborate across design, verification, software, and systems teams to keep execution moving.

 

What You Will Learn

  • What it takes to architect a chiplet based SoC for automotive applications.
  • How functional safety and reliability shape every design decision.
  • How to integrate complex IP blocks and CPU subsystems into a coherent, shippable product.
  • Why silicon architecture is a cross functional discipline, not just a collection of isolated blocks.

 

Tenstorrent offers a highly competitive compensation package and benefits, and we are an equal opportunity employer.
