Chiplet IP & Systems Applications Lead

TYLsemi; San Jose (CA); Hybrid; USD 180,000 - 240,000; Full time

Job summary

TylSemi is seeking an IP and Systems Application Engineer to bridge silicon, IP, and customer success. You’ll own the operations tying strategic initiatives to customers, ensuring engagements progress from idea to silicon with precision.

This high-visibility role offers ownership and direct collaboration with founders and ecosystem partners. You’ll navigate RTL, DV, PD handoffs, and hardware bring-up in a fast-moving startup setting, with a global, remote-friendly team.

Qualifications

• 15+ years of technical customer management experience in semiconductor, custom silicon, or chiplet/advanced packaging environments.
• Experience interfacing with ecosystem partners — chip development schedules, interdependencies on EDA and IP, tape-out schedules and system bringup timelines.
• Familiarity with silicon fabrication, advanced packaging formats: CoWoS, InFO, 2.5D/3D integration, substrate/interposer-based assembly.
• Technical fluency in SoC or chiplet design flows — understand RTL milestones, DV sign-off, PD handoffs, and silicon bring-up phases without translation.
• Strong communication skills — comfortable presenting program status and risk posture to internal and external stakeholders.
• Proficiency with program tracking tools (and spreadsheet-based trackers)
• Familiarity with connectivity IPs UCIe, PCIe Gen 5/6/7+, or high-bandwidth D2D interconnect standards

Responsibilities

• Manage active customer engagements: from IP and SoC architectural spec alignment through silicon and systems bringup and volume shipment milestones.
• Ensure alignment with internal enginering and ecosystem partners — including foundries, OSAT/packaging houses, EDA vendors (Synopsys, Cadence), and IP partners.
• Translate customer requirements (silicon architecture, interface specs, package form factor, delivery schedules) into internal program plans with clear owners and dates.
• Build and maintain trackers, risk registers, and executive dashboards covering each engagement.
• Drive gate reviews and weekly program syncs across internal RTL/DV, physical design, and validation teams.
• Manage internal and external scoping and delivery timelines in coordination with technical and business teams.
• Identify and elevate risks early; propose and implement mitigations before they become schedule threats
