As a PCB Power Design Engineer, you will design and optimize power distribution systems for Tenstorrent's next-generation AI accelerator cards, balancing performance, area, cost, and reliability. You will contribute across the full power design lifecycle, from component selection and simulation through board bring-up, validation, debugging, and production readiness. Working closely with hardware, firmware/software, thermal, mechanical, and validation teams, you will help deliver robust power architectures for high-performance AI systems.
This role ishybrid, based out of Toronto, Canada.
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- An electrical engineer with experience designing, analyzing, and debugging power distribution systems for high-performance or high-power products.
- A hands-on engineer who enjoys moving from schematics and simulations into lab bring-up, testing, troubleshooting, and design validation.
- A systems-oriented collaborator who can work effectively across hardware design, firmware/software, thermal, mechanical, and validation teams.
- A detail-oriented problem solver who balances electrical performance, power integrity, thermal constraints, board area, cost, and reliability.
- Someone who thrives in a dynamic environment and can contribute at the appropriate scope for their experience level while continuing to grow technically.
What We Need- Experience with end-to-end power design and analysis tools such as Simplis, PSim, PowerDC, PowerSI, or similar, along with an enterprise eCAD tool.
- Deep understanding of power architectures and topologies, including multi-phase buck, boost, STC, TLVR, magnetics, control theory, voltage regulator tuning, power integrity, and PDN analysis and optimization.
- Knowledge of PCB design, EMI/EMC compliance, thermal management, and relevant standards including PCIe CEM, PMBus, and AVSBus; familiarity with OCP/OAM and PCIe graphics cards or datacenter systems is valuable.
- Strong lab and debugging skills, including voltage regulation module bring-up and validation, power consumption analysis, prototyping, testing, and post-silicon troubleshooting.
What You Will Learn- The opportunity to design power distribution systems for next-generation AI accelerator cards and high-performance computing platforms.
- Practical experience balancing power integrity, voltage regulation, thermal performance, board area, cost, and reliability in complex PCB designs.
- Deeper expertise in power architectures, VR tuning, PDN optimization, and the application of industry standards across consumer and datacenter systems.
- Exposure to the complete hardware development lifecycle, including simulation, schematic and layout guidance, prototyping, board bring-up, validation, and post-silicon debugging.
- How power design decisions integrate with broader system architecture through close collaboration with hardware, firmware/software, thermal, mechanical, and validation teams.
