Senior Technical Recruiter

About the role

We are looking for an experienced Senior Technical Recruiter to help scale our organization as we build next-generation AI compute technology. This is a hands-on, full-cycle recruiting role with broad ownership across ASIC, Hardware, Software, Operations, and SG&A, including highly specialized technical and leadership searches.

What You'll Do

• Own end-to-end recruiting across multiple functions, including: ASIC / Silicon Engineering, Hardware Engineering, Software & Systems Engineering, SDK / Compiler Engineering, Applications / Field Engineering, Operations, Sales & Business Development, Product Management, Finance, HR and other SG&A functions
• Partner closely with hiring managers to define role requirements, distinguish must-have vs. nice-to-have qualifications, establish interview processes, and develop realistic search strategies.
• Build and execute sourcing strategies for highly specialized ASIC, hardware, software, AI infrastructure, and business talent.
• Proactively identify and engage passive candidates rather than relying primarily on inbound applications.
• Conduct talent mapping across semiconductor, AI infrastructure, hyperscale computing, networking, software, and adjacent technology companies.
• Conduct substantive recruiter screens covering technical or functional alignment, career motivations, compensation expectations, location requirements, and overall fit.
• Manage candidates through the recruiting lifecycle—from initial outreach through interviews, comp expectations, closing, and pre-onboarding.
• Partner with hiring teams to continuously calibrate candidate profiles based on funnel performance and market feedback.
• Develop recruiting strategies for both immediate openings and anticipated future workforce needs.
• Provide leadership with market intelligence regarding talent availability, compensation, competitor hiring activity, and candidate sentiment.
• Maintain a highly organized and data-driven approach while managing multiple concurrent searches.
• Deliver a high-quality candidate experience throughout the recruiting process.

What We're Looking For

• 7+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, preferably within semiconductor, AI, high-performance computing, or another deeply electrical and computer engineering environment.
• Demonstrated experience recruiting across multiple engineering disciplines, with particularly strong experience in ASIC, semiconductor, hardware, or silicon recruiting.
• Experience recruiting Software, Systems, Infrastructure, or related engineering talent.
• Ability to recruit beyond Engineering, including Operations, Sales, Product, Finance, HR, and other SG&A functions.
• Sufficient technical understanding to effectively recruit and screen candidates across areas such as ASIC Design, Design Verification, microarchitecture, hardware, systems software, AI infrastructure, and related disciplines.
• Demonstrated ability to recruit across levels—from early-career talent through Staff/Principal engineers, managers, directors, and executive-level positions.
• Strong passive sourcing, market-mapping, and competitive intelligence capabilities.
• Experience partnering directly with senior engineering managers.
• Ability to challenge or recalibrate hiring requirements constructively when market data indicates that the original profile is overly restrictive.
• Strong offer management and candidate-closing skills.
• Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills.
• Highly organized, analytical, and comfortable managing a significant requisition portfolio in a fast-moving environment.

What Will Make You Stand Out

• Experience recruiting within both high-growth startups and established technology companies would be particularly valuable.
• We are especially interested in candidates who understand how recruiting for an early-stage or scaling company differs from recruiting for a well-established brand.
• The strongest candidates will have experience spanning several talent ecosystems—including semiconductor and silicon, AI infrastructure, software, enterprise technology, and go-to-market—and will be able to move comfortably between a highly specialized ASIC search and a business-critical Sales, Operations, Product, or Finance search.
