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.\nJoin Tenstorrent as a Mechanical Design Engineer and own the mechanical and thermal design of high-performance AI computing hardware, from high-power PCIe cards and multi-chip server systems to complete systems that turn our AI accelerators into shippable products. You will carry products from first concept through full-scale production, engineering for manufacturability and assembly from day one so hardware comes off the line right the first time. This is a short-loop environment: what you design gets built, tested, and improved on real hardware within days, and you will be at the bench when it does. If watching your work go from CAD model to shipping product quickly is what drives you, you will fit right in.\nThis role is hybrid, based out of Toronto, Canada.\nWe 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.\nWho You Are\nYou have a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent, with 3+ years of hands-on mechanical design experience, ideally in high-performance electronics.\nYou are proficient in CAD tools such as SolidWorks or Creo and experienced in electronics enclosure design, including integration with thermal management solutions.\nYou understand manufacturing processes such as injection molding, die-casting, extrusion, stamping, and 3D printing, and apply design-for-manufacturing and assembly principles from the start.\nYou are skilled in GD&T and engineering drawing creation, and comfortable building, testing, and reworking designs hands-on in a lab.\nYou take ownership, adapt when priorities shift, and can travel internationally up to 10% for supplier visits and critical design reviews.\nWhat We Need\nDesign and validate mechanical and thermal solutions for high-power AI hardware, including PCIe cards, multi-chip server systems, fixtures, and tooling.\nEngineer for manufacturability and assembly from the first concept, partnering with suppliers to optimize cost, quality, and lead time.\nRun FEA to assess mechanical reliability, including PCB microstrain validation, and use data to guide design decisions.\nCollaborate with PCB, thermal, and electrical teams to integrate board layouts, enclosures, and cooling systems; contribute hands-on to vibration, shock, thermal cycling, and environmental testing.\nManage BOMs and part lifecycles in a PLM system, and create engineering drawings, test reports, and design guidelines that support product development.\nWhat You Will Learn\nHow mechanical design shapes advanced AI computing platforms built around Tenstorrent silicon.\nHow new silicon and systems move from first power-on through production.\nHow to turn AI accelerators into complete, shippable products-from PCIe cards to full systems.\nHow to work across silicon, thermal, electrical, and software engineering, as well as with suppliers and test labs around the world.\nTenstorrent offers a highly competitive compensation package and benefits, and we are an equal opportunity employer.\nThis 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.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4658,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Processors, MCUs & AI Chips","AI Chips & Accelerators","Semiconductor IP & Chip Design Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-13T00:05:50Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":74,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-11-13T01:49:52Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/tenstorrent-sr-engineer-mechanical-design","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/tenstorrent-sr-engineer-mechanical-design.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-13T01:49:52Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3894,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-14T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":48241},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=48241"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ftenstorrent-sr-engineer-mechanical-design"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Ftenstorrent-sr-engineer-mechanical-design"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Ftenstorrent-sr-engineer-mechanical-design"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/tenstorrent-sr-engineer-mechanical-design\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ftenstorrent-sr-engineer-mechanical-design"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":4207621}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"tenstorrent.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":4207621},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
