Description du poste

Technical Director - Stealth AI Silicon Startup

We have partnered with a stealth-mode semiconductor startup based in the Bay Area that is developing next-generation silicon for AI and high-performance computing.

We’re looking for a director-level engineer to take technical ownership across architecture and design, working within a small, highly experienced team. You’ll help shape the technical direction of the silicon, establish engineering best practices and build out the team as the company scales, while remaining hands-on technically.

Key responsibilities and requirements

• Own the architecture and end-to-end design of a critical SoC subsystem
• Work closely with RTL, microarchitecture, verification and physical design teams
• Drive technical direction, engineering standards and design methodologies
• Mentor engineers and help build out a high-calibre hardware team
• Take ownership across the full chip development lifecycle, from architecture through to tapeout
• Proven experience leading complex ASIC/SoC development across multiple successful tapeouts
• Strong background in memory, compute, interconnect or other complex SoC subsystems
• Comfortable operating in an early-stage environment with significant technical ownership

Whether you've helped build a semiconductor startup from an early stage or are looking to take a step beyond one of the larger semiconductor companies, this is an opportunity to have significant influence over both the technology and the team.
