Technical Recruiter, ASICs

Overview

Normal Computing builds silicon that turns thermal noise from obstacles into a computational resource. They compute with thermal noise, resulting in 10-100× more AI inference per dollar and per watt compared to conventional chips. They co-design the full stack: AI-native EDA systems in production with the world's largest semiconductor companies, and the advanced ASICs they make possible. Backed by $85M+ from leading deep-tech investors and founded by scientists, engineers, and operators from the labs that built modern computing.

Recruiting Talent

The Technical Recruiter, ASICs will own full-cycle recruiting for Normal’s silicon organization, including architects, RTL and DV engineers, physical design, and research-adjacent roles. They will source candidates who aren’t actively looking and close those who have multiple options. This role requires managing searches that directly impact whether a chip tapes out on schedule.

What You'll Own

• Manage the end-to-end recruitment process for senior hardware, ASIC, and silicon architecture roles from intake through close
• Engage top-tier talent in unconventional silicon architecture, design verification, and systems architecture roles
• Align on candidate qualifications, technical bars, and calibration with engineering hiring managers as searches evolve
• Maintain impeccable data hygiene and pipeline flow in Ashby
• Run the WHO Method for talent calibration and maintain high-efficiency interview loops
• Target 4-5 rounds maximum to ensure great candidates don’t die in process

What Makes You a Great Fit

• 4+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting, including direct experience recruiting ASIC, silicon, or semiconductor engineers
• A track record of closing senior engineers against competing offers
• Advanced fluency in Ashby (or comparable ATS) for candidate tracking, reporting, and process automation
• Operational excellence: low ego, comfortable with ambiguity, and able to move real work forward at the volume of a scaling startup

Bonus Points

• Exposure to AI/ML and software engineering recruiting in addition to hardware expertise
• Previous experience in a high-growth venture-backed startup, semiconductor company, or research lab
