THE OPPORTUNITY

At TechInsights, we decode technology to reveal the innovations shaping our world. As the Technical Fellow, Advanced Packaging & High Performance Computing (HPC), you’ll be a central figure in that mission, a recognized technical authority who bridges semiconductor process, advanced packaging, processor architecture, and system-level performance. This is a rare opportunity to shape the technical direction of two of TechInsights’ most dynamic product areas: Advanced Packaging and HPC. You will bring deep expertise in packaging and interconnect innovation, from hybrid bonding to co-packaged optics (CPO) and extend that insight up the stack to processors, networking silicon, and full system integration.

Your leadership will help define how TechInsights connects device-level architecture to system-level performance, setting the foundation for next-generation compute analysis across the data center ecosystem.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Lead with Technical Authority

• Serve as TechInsights’ subject matter expert across advanced packaging, HPC processors, networking ASICs, memory integration, and data center server architectures.
• Provide authoritative insights on leading-edge and emerging technologies, including:
  • 2.5D/3D integration, hybrid bonding, fan-out, glass core substrates, and embedded passives.
  • Co-packaged optics, chip-to-chip optical engines, and photonic-electronic IC integration (PIC + EIC).
  • Hybrid bonded chiplet stacks, SRAM chiplets, and next-generation thermal and power delivery innovations.

Own and Evolve Technology Roadmaps

• Shape and maintain TechInsights’ Advanced Packaging and HPC technology roadmaps, aligning analysis coverage with industry trends and customer value.
• Identify and prioritize parts and systems for analysis across processors, accelerators, and networking platforms to capture market-defining innovations.
• Help drive product evolution toward system-level analysis, including server performance testing, interconnect and power delivery characterization, and thermal benchmarking.

Accelerate Content Creation through AI and Innovation

• Leverage AI-enabled tools and data workflows to increase the speed, accuracy, and scalability of analysis.
• Create and apply new techniques that connect process flow, packaging design, and system performance metrics.
• Assertively drive content velocity and analytical quality across teams.

Engage Globally and Lead by Influence

• Represent TechInsights worldwide to present at conferences, lead customer technical discussions, and publish thought leadership that positions TechInsights at the forefront of semiconductor intelligence.
• Mentor analysts, shape analytical methods, and foster cross-domain collaboration between packaging, logic, memory, and system analysis teams.
• Travel internationally to meet with hyperscalers, foundries, fabless companies, and system manufacturers.

WHAT YOU’LL BRING

• A recognized expert in semiconductor packaging, interconnect, or processor design, with 10+ years of relevant industry experience.
• Master’s or PhD in Nanotechnology, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Applied Physics, or equivalent field experience.
• Adept at connecting materials, process, and architecture to system-level performance in HPC or networking applications.
• Deeply familiar with one or more of the following domains:
• Advanced packaging and assembly processes (TSVs, interposers, hybrid bonding, fan-out, glass core, embedded passives).
• Processor and chiplet architecture (CPU, GPU, DPU, TPU, FPGA, ASIC).
• Networking and optical interconnect (switch ASICs, SerDes, co-packaged optics, PIC + EIC).
• System-level power, thermal, and performance analysis.
• Demonstrated success applying AI and automation tools to accelerate technical content or workflow efficiency.
• An effective communicator and storyteller comfortable engaging with engineers, executives, and customers alike.
• Motivated by curiosity, collaboration, and a desire to define what comes next in semiconductor analysis.
• Willing to travel globally (up to 25–30%) to build relationships and represent TechInsights at technical and industry events.
