This is a hybrid role based out of Toronto, ON or Vancouver, BC, focusing on customer-facing engineering, technical enablement, and cross-functional collaboration.

Experience Level

Senior-level. The posting lists 3–5 years of semiconductor industry experience as a guideline; candidates may be assessed for the appropriate seniority level during interviews.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include customer-facing integration, technical support, and driving successful deployment of IP in customer SoCs.

• Act as primary technical contact for customers during IP integration, silicon bring-up, and validation.
• Guide integration of AI processors, RISC-V CPUs, and chiplet architectures into customer SoCs.
• Debug system-level issues from pre-silicon simulation through post-silicon validation and firmware/software interactions.
• Support IP productization tasks: documentation, release notes, integration guides, and customer training.
• Manage technical engagements throughout the support lifecycle and maintain trusted customer relationships.
• Collaborate with internal product, architecture, silicon, and software teams to resolve customer issues and influence roadmaps.
• Provide technical feedback from customers to inform product priorities and roadmap decisions.

Requirements

Key technical and customer-facing requirements. Educational degree requirements are summarized below in Education Requirements.

• Hands-on experience with ASIC design flows and IP integration; comfortable working with design views and deliverables.
• Familiarity with common design views/formats such as .lib, LEF, ICL, and PDL.
• Strong background in analog/digital design tools, silicon validation, and system-level debug methodologies.
• Proven experience in customer-facing engineering roles with strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Experience debugging complex hardware/software interactions during bring-up and validation.
• Ability to produce clear technical documentation and provide customer training and support.
• Must be eligible to access U.S. export-controlled technology; employment may be contingent on citizenship, permanent residency, or prior license approval under U.S. export laws.

Education Requirements

Degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field (posting specifies a degree in EE or related field).
