Summary
Peter Hizalev is a seasoned systems architect and engineering leader with 16 years of experience building ML compilers, runtimes, and hardware-software co-design for AI accelerators. Currently a Senior Principal Engineer for AI Compiler at Tenstorrent, he has led compiler teams and productized accelerator IP from startup co-founding at Tensil to senior roles at TetraMem, where he bridged research prototypes and production SDKs. He combines deep compiler and low-level systems expertise with practical hardware design fluency (Chisel/TCU work at Tensil) to drive performance-driven innovation across edge and datacenter targets. A pragmatic founder and former Director of Engineering, he excels at translating architectural trade-offs into shipped tools and open-source artifacts, and has a knack for proving hardware ideas via compiler emulation before silicon. Based in San Jose, he pairs an MS in Computer Aided Design with a track record of uniting research, product, and engineering to accelerate ML deployment.
