Who this role is best for

Geared toward technically grounded operators comfortable with cross-functional coordination in semiconductor IP product management, with a focus on AI and RISC-V technologies and hybrid work arrangements.

Best fit for

  • Candidates with semiconductor IP product management experience and strong technical fluency in CPU and AI accelerator domains
    — “several years in program management, technical program management, product management, or product operations in the semiconductor industry, ideally with IP products such as Arm, RISC-V, x86, AI accelerator, subsystem, or system IP”
  • Individuals who can influence without formal authority and thrive in collaborative, fast-moving environments
    — “natural coordinator who gets cross-functional work over the line without formal authority”
  • Professionals with a background in engineering, computer science, or electrical engineering who can follow complex technical discussions
    — “technically grounded operator with an engineering, computer science, or electrical engineering background who can follow architecture and engineering discussions”

Things to consider

  • Candidates must be eligible for U.S. export-controlled technology access, which may require citizenship or prior license approval
    — “contingent upon the applicant being eligible to access U.S. export-controlled technology”
  • The role may not align with expectations of a traditional program management position, requiring a different skill set
    — “This is not a traditional program management role”

How to stand out

  • Highlight experience in semiconductor IP product management and technical fluency in CPU or AI accelerator domains
    — “several years in program management, technical program management, product management, or product operations in the semiconductor industry”
  • Emphasize ability to document and maintain aligned plans across teams
    — “Document and maintain the source of truth for aligned plans”
  • Showcase experience in tracking milestones, deliverables, and dependencies across complex projects
    — “Track milestones, deliverables, dependencies, risks, and customer engagement plans”
  • Demonstrate clear communication skills with leadership and technical teams
    — “clear communicator, written and verbal, who can brief leadership in a few sentences”

About the role

Original posting from Tenstorrent via Greenhouse

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.

We are looking for a technically fluent operator to join our Product Group and keep Compute IP product management running smoothly. Reporting directly to the CPU IP Product lead, you will make sure work keeps moving across our Accelerated Compute IP portfolio, the right people are in the room, and commitments are tracked through to delivery. This is not a traditional program management role. You will understand CPU, AI accelerator, and subsystem IP well enough to spot a real blocker and ask the sharp question, then get things unstuck by coordinating across Product Management, Engineering, Architecture, Technical Program Management, Sales, and third-party partners.

This role is hybrid, based out of Austin, TX; Santa Clara,CA; Denver, CO 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.

Who You Are

Someone with several years in program management, technical program management, product management, or product operations in the semiconductor industry, ideally with IP products such as Arm, RISC-V, x86, AI accelerator, subsystem, or system IP.

Understand the interplay and dependency across the technology stack from IP to SOC to board to software.

A technically grounded operator with an engineering, computer science, or electrical engineering. background who can follow architecture and engineering discussions, not just track their status.

A natural coordinator who gets cross-functional work over the line without formal authority.

A clear communicator, written and verbal, who can brief leadership in a few sentences.

What We Need

Drive execution across Compute IP products from initial concept to EOL by chasing stalled work and getting blockers to the right owner quickly.

Coordinate the meetings, reviews, and working sessions that matter with Engineering, Architecture, Product Management, Sales, and third-party partners.

Track milestones, deliverables, dependencies, risks, and customer engagement plans, and give the head of Product a clear picture of what is on track or slipping.

Prepare briefings, agendas, and follow-ups so decisions get made, documented, and acted on.

Document and maintain the source of truth for aligned plans, so every team works from the same current commitments and decisions, building lightweight processes where a gap exists.

What You Will Learn

How Compute and Accelerator IP products move from concept to customer delivery.

The technical details of our IP products and the dependencies between engineering teams.

How decisions get made across a fast-moving company, and how to influence without formal authority.

Paths for growth into broader product operations or program leadership.

Compensation for all engineers at Tenstorrent ranges from $100k - $500k including base and variable compensation targets. Experience, skills, education, background and location all impact the actual offer made.

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