• Employer Branding: Collaborate on employer brand initiatives to elevate our visibility in key markets through events, digital campaigns, and strategic partnerships.

 

Minimum Qualifications

• 5+ years of full lifecycle recruiting experience, with a strong track record hiring for both GTM (sales, pre-sales, field engineering, customer success) and technical (engineering, R&D, manufacturing) roles.
• 3+ years managing strategic sourcing initiatives for hard-to-fill or specialized technical and commercial roles, leveraging CRM, AI, and data-driven recruiting tools.
• Proven ability to influence and advise hiring teams, define recruiting priorities in ambiguous environments, and drive timely, high-quality hiring outcomes.

  platforms (BambooHR preferred) and sourcing tools to manage and report recruitment data effectively.
• Working knowledge of equity-based compensation and competitive market analysis in technical and GTM talent spaces.
• Demonstrated use of AI tools to enhance sourcing, candidate engagement, and process automation.

 

Preferred Qualifications

• Proven success recruiting within high-growth startups, ideally in semiconductor, hardware, or deep tech sectors.
• Comfort recruiting for GTM roles where product, engineering, and customer-facing functions intersect.
• Familiarity with semiconductor technologies (SoC design, verification, fabrication, EDA tools, embedded hardware/software).
• Understanding of both U.S. hiring (e.g., OFCCP) and global hiring compliance.
• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Human Resources, Engineering, or a related field preferred—or equivalent experience.
