• Lead Qualification & Sales Enablement
• Help qualify prospects and facilitate handovers to the technical pre-sales or delivery teams. Provide strategic input during client discussions.
• Market Feedback & Intelligence
• Share insights on emerging trends, unmet design needs, or partnership opportunities in areas such as edge compute, AI silicon, DFT, and data center infrastructure.

What You Bring

• 15+ years in Business Development, Strategic Sales, or Partnerships in the Semiconductor, AI, or Deep-Tech sectors.
• Strong network in APAC, North America, or Europe , especially within chip design companies, fabless firms, AI startups, or R&D-driven enterprises.
• Understanding of technical domains such as ASIC, SoC, RTL, DFT, AI/ML model integration, or HPC architecture.
• Ability to distill complex services into value-driven conversations that resonate with engineering and business leaders.
• Self-starter mindset with the ability to navigate ambiguity and deliver outcomes independently.

Bonus Points For

• Prior experience with EDA vendors, IP houses, or design services firms.
• Exposure to startup-to-scale-up journeys in AI hardware or silicon innovation.
• Passion for accelerating Asia’s role in global semiconductor innovation.
