PCB Hardware Engineer Intern - PEY

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

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 looking for engineering interns to join our dynamic team. We know junior engineers want to explore different areas and expand their skill sets. The ideal candidates will have a wealth of exposure designing PCBs either through school or side project enthusiasm. A background in electrical engineering, power, or relevant field is required as you will be exposed to a multitude of designs, lifecycle stages and debug efforts. 

Join a small but mighty team shaping the future of ultra-fast data communication. From cutting-edge signal integrity design to hands-on lab validation, this internship is built for those who geek out over high-speed hardware and precision engineering.

Within the PCB team, we have three intern openings: Power Electronics, High-Speed Design, and Digital Electronics

What We Need

  • An excited student who is passionate about designing circuits and PCBs, whether for school, hobbies, or student teams.
  • Comfortable with schematic and layout in ECAD tools (like Altium, OrCAD/Allegro, or KiCad) and excited to learn more.
  • Someone prepared to tackle PCB bring-up in the lab using oscilloscopes, VNAs, TDRs, and others, and building prototypes to fix issues on the fly

Who You Are

Power Electronics Intern:

  • Relevant courses in electrical energy systems, power semiconductor devices, control, power electronics and circuits theory
  • Experience with lab instrumentation, oscilloscopes, multimeters, DC power supplies
  • Developing automated test scripts using Python, Mathcad, Matlab, Schematic capture and layout

High Speed Design Intern:

  • Students who have excelled in courses on high-speed or RF/microwave circuits.
  • Someone ready to support simulation of high-speed interfaces like PCIe, Ethernet, and GDDR using industry-grade tools like HFSS and ADS.
  • Learn how to design and tune microwave-speed interconnect, analyze those channels in the frequency and time domain, and then measure them in the lab.

Digital Electronics Intern

  • Students who have excelled in courses on Digital Circuit design and board layout.
  • Ownership of full board design from specifications to board bring-up. 
  • Support board and chip bring-up using lab equipment including oscilloscopes, soldering stations, logic analyzers, and multi-meters. 
  • Develop board level testing scripts to automate bring up procedures to optimize flow using Python and bash. 
  • Facilitate cross functional collaboration with mechanical, power, high speed design, test, and firmware teams.

What You Will Learn

  • The full PCB lifecycle: design, simulate, build, test, debug, repeat.
  • Collaborate with design teams and vendors on material, stackups, and specs.
  • How a world-class PCB gets built, and what happens when it doesn’t work out.

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

This offer of employment is contingent upon the applicant being eligible to access U.S. export-controlled technology. Due to U.S. export laws, including those codified in the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR), the Company is required to ensure compliance with these laws when transferring technology to nationals of certain countries (such as EAR Country Groups D:1, E1, and E2). These requirements apply to persons located in the U.S. and all countries outside the U.S. As the position offered will have direct and/or indirect access to information, systems, or technologies subject to these laws, the offer may be contingent upon your citizenship/permanent residency status or ability to obtain prior license approval from the U.S. Commerce Department or applicable federal agency. If employment is not possible due to U.S. export laws, any offer of employment will be rescinded.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
