ChipAgents . Why this role matters Hiring world-class engineers, EDA experts, and go-to-market talent is our #1 growth lever. As our first in-house recruiter, you will build the talent engine that lets us out-execute giants—and you’ll do it with direct access to the founders and a blank canvas for process, tooling, and employer brand. What you’ll do
Own full-cycle recruiting
for AEs, full-stack AI engineers, DV architects, GTM, and leadership roles (15–30 hires in the next 12 months). Architect our talent stack:
pick the sourcing tools, and analytics that fit a fast-growing startup. Partner with execs & hiring managers
to write compelling job specs, craft structured interview loops, and drive close strategies. Run high-impact sourcing campaigns
across LinkedIn, conferences (DAC, DVCon), university pipelines (UCSB, Stanford, Berkeley), and your own network. Level-up our external agencies —set SLAs, prevent duplicate funnels, and work with them for hard-to-fill niche searches. Build employer branding
content—LinkedIn posts, engineering blogs, and community events that showcase our mission and culture. Track the metrics that matter —time-to-fill, onsite pass-through, offer-accept, and iterate fast. What you bring
either exceptional passion as a new grad or 4+ years technical recruiting experience in high-growth startups or top tech; semiconductor / AI domain a strong plus. Proven record of closing senior IC & manager-level engineering roles (H-1B/O-1 immigration familiarity ideal). Fluency with modern talent tools and data-driven decision-making. Storytelling chops: you can translate deep-tech missions into narratives that excite passive candidates. Grit, creativity, and a builder’s mindset, you like blank slates more than playbooks. What we offer
Competitive Bay-Area cash comp, meaningful equity, and full benefits (medical, vision, dental, 401k). Two engineering-centric offices with free parking, private gym, and free lunch, drinks and snacks. A seat at the leadership table: you’ll define our talent philosophy and see your work in every future hire. The chance to shape the future of AI-driven chip design alongside researchers.
