Our innovative new start-up developing ultra-high bandwidth, low latency optical interconnects for generative AI, cellular, and high bandwidth data transfer applications is now searching for a hands-on Director of Silicon Hardware Enginnering.


The role will involve developing a digital-analog mixed-signal chip to leverage photonic fabrication process modules for integration of 2D materials into silicon photonics process flows.


Working for an exciting start-up with great funding, you will be tasked with developing cutting edge chips that have the potential to revolutionise the industry; the company is expanding across multiple groups. The Director of Silicon Hardware Engineering will define, develop and communicate the technical vision for their ASIC chips, as well as contribute to long-term strategy and nuture strong realtionships across multiple teams.


The company has already selected key experts from the industry and have a clear route to market.


The Director of Silicon Hardware Engineering will have an extensive background / confidence / demonstratable experience in:


  • Circa 20+ years' experience in technical AND management / leadership roles
  • The tape-out of complex chips / advanced technology nodes (circa 12nm or lower).
  • SOC chip architecture definition - interconnects and bus communication protocols (AXI, AMBA, CHI, AHB etc)
  • IP selection / evaluation / integration
  • A good understanding of the difference between in-house development vs engaging with/managing a design house / design service company / outsourced partner or ODC
  • Digital IC design and Analog / AMS / mixed-signal IC Design
  • Management and coordination of test / verification / validation / characterisation functions
  • EDA tools / EDA contract management / EDA licencing
  • Embedded software / firmware and systems.
  • High-speed data connectivity - ethernet / gigabit, serdes, optical
  • Aswell as budget, licensing, contract and supplier management.
  • Understanding of back-end / physical design processes and understanding of foundry processes


The right candidate will be an experienced leader of people and technology, keen to contribute to and build a fast-paced company that will soon be a market leader.
