TenstorrentDesign Director
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’re seeking a Design Director to support the Creative Director and deliver quality design work on a wide range of projects. This is a hands-on role for someone who cares about open hardware, real products, and building the future of computing. You’ll set the design direction for Tenstorrent and make sure everything we ship looks, feels, and reads like it came from one clear point of view. If you’re an artist at heart and equally passionate about next-generation compute built in the open, this role is for you.
This role is remote, based out of the United States.
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
- you think about design as infrastructure, not decoration.
- you have taste and opinions, and you’re comfortable owning decisions.
- you like building things that actually ship and get used.
- you obsess over the underlying narrative driving projects forward, not just surface solutions.
What We Need
- experience overseeing creative work across events, swag, decks, investor materials, sub-brands, microsites, social posts, collateral, packaging, offices, photo shoots, industrial design, docs, and customer support collateral.
- ownership of design systems: brand guidelines, event toolkits, global site standards, and systems for one-pagers and docs.
- strong quality control instincts across all creative output—brand, message, and craft.
- comfort working directly with designers and internal stakeholders through review, feedback, and approval.
What You Will Learn
- what it actually takes to build an open hardware company, beyond the narrative.
- the ways design earns developer trust and drives long-term adoption.
- where speed, clarity, and craft collide at real scale.
- what it means to run a creative function with true autonomy and accountability.
- how to leave a visible fingerprint on the future of computing, day-by-day.
