Director of ASIC

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.
