- Collaboration on RTL design, verification plans, physical design, and timing closure
- Silicon bring-up, validation, characterization, and yield optimization
- Partner with silicon architects, firmware, hardware systems, and software teams to ensure seamless integration into server platforms, rack-scale systems, and data center orchestration stacks.
- Engage directly with hyperscale cloud providers to co-define performance, power, cost, and schedule targets; drive joint proofs of concept and early field trials.
- Work with supply chain and operations to manage risk, secure capacity, and optimize cost of goods sold (COGS) for ASIC production.
- Collaborate with marketing and sales to develop compelling value propositions, competitive analyses, and go-to-market plans.
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, Humanities, or related field.
- 8+ years of Product Management or related work experience.
Preferred Qualifications
- Ph.D. in Computer Architecture, VLSI Design, or related discipline.
- Hands-on experience with tape-out cycles, debug labs, and silicon validation methodologies.
- Familiarity with advanced packaging techniques (EMIB, FCBGA), test and measurement equipment, and yield enhancement strategies.
- Contributions to industry consortiums or open-source hardware projects.
- 12+ years of product management experience in custom ASIC or SoC development, including full lifecycle ownership from concept through production.
- Proven track record working on custom ASIC projects for hyperscale cloud providers or large enterprise data centers.
- Deep understanding of semiconductor design flows: specification, RTL, verification, synthesis, physical implementation, and silicon bring-up.
- Strong system-level perspective on AI accelerator integration within servers and rack-scale systems, including power, cooling, and interconnect considerations.
- Demonstrated ability to engage with C-level and technical stakeholders at hyperscale customers.
- Excellent analytical, financial modeling, and project management skills.
