Director of ASIC Development – Head of Chiplets

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Director of ASIC Development to lead our innovative chiplet-development plans. This role will focus on designing next-generation ASICs/Chiplets for leading edge AI and GPU technologies.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the architectural design and development of modular chiplet-based ASIC solutions optimized for performance per watt and performance per mm2
• Drive chiplet interface strategies, including die-to-die communication protocols that balance performance, power efficiency, and manufacturing costs
• Oversee cross-functional teams to drive the chiplet development to a successful product line
• Develop a set of partners to accelerate and de-risk our chiplet development
• Manage relationships with foundry partners, IP providers, and EDA vendors
• Develop and implement strategies for cost-effective testing and validation of multi-die chiplet solutions

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in ASIC/SoC design with at least 5 years in leadership positions
• Proven track record delivering complex silicon products, preferably using chiplet architecture
• Strong understanding of semiconductor manufacturing processes, particularly as they relate to chiplet integration (interposer technologies, advanced packaging)
• Knowledge of die-to-die interfaces (UCIe, BoW, AIB, etc.)
• Experience working with leading-edge process nodes (5nm and below)
• Excellent communication skills with ability to collaborate across engineering disciplines and explain complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders

Preferred Qualifications

• PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
• Experience with HBM memory integration and high-bandwidth memory architectures
• Knowledge of thermal management techniques for high-performance compute modules
• Understanding of hardware security requirements for AI systems
• Familiarity with silicon photonics or other emerging interconnect technologies
• Experience with open-source hardware development models
• Prior work on products that successfully transitioned from development to high-volume manufacturing

Impact You'll Make

You will shape the architecture of next-generation personal AI chiplets that democratize access to high-performance AI and Graphics. Your work on RISC-V based GPU solutions will help establish open standards in an emerging market while pushing the boundaries of what's possible with modular chiplet design.

Compensation

Competitive salary, equity package, and comprehensive benefits commensurate with experience.
