Your silicon. Your models. Your roadmap. Flexible AI accelerator IP that is powering the next generation of AI chips. Backed by Pear VC.
About the role
We are looking for a hunter who knows how semiconductor IP is transacted. You will own the full licensing cycle with SoC and system companies in your territory, from first technical conversation through evaluation, benchmark, commercial negotiation and signed license, then grow those accounts into multi-design, royalty-generating relationships. Pipeline & Deal Execution: Build and close a pipeline of IP licensing deals with semiconductor companies, OEMs, and systems houses that build their own silicon. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 8+ years of enterprise sales experience in semiconductors, with at least 5 years specifically selling silicon IP, EDA, or design services
- Proven track record of closing seven-figure IP licenses, with solid references to back it up
- Existing relationships with SoC architects and engineering leaders in one or more domains: automotive, consumer/edge devices, enterprise vision, industrial, or networking
- Deep fluency in the semiconductor IP business model: license fees, royalties, NRE, support, and multi-use agreements
- Sufficient technical depth to communicate credibly with technical stakeholders on NPUs, processor architecture, AI/ML workloads, and SoC integration
- Self-starter mentality with the ability to thrive in a fast-moving startup environment, along with a willingness to travel up to ~30%
