About TylSemi, Inc.

The Opportunity

The AI infrastructure market is exploding. Every hyperscaler, every cloud provider, every AI company is building custom silicon. But they all face the same problem: how do you connect hundreds of chips, deliver clean power at scale, and move terabits of data without melting the package

Thats what we solve. TylSemi builds the chiplet infrastructure IP the IO, power delivery, and interconnect building blocks that makes AI/HPC systems actually work at scale.

This isnt a nice-to-have. Its the critical path.

Why Now
The Market Window

The semiconductor industry is going through its biggest architectural shift in 40 years:

Moores Law is dead. 2nm and beyond delivers marginal performance gains. The future is chiplets, not monolithic dies.

Custom silicon is now mainstream. Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, OpenAI theyre all designing their own ASICs. The $50B custom silicon market is growing 30% annually.

IO and power are the bottleneck. Solve hard problems and provide something which is a category in itself.

Translation: Were entering the market at exactly the moment when every major AI/HPC player needs what were building, and their alternatives are disappearing.

Culture & Team: How We Work
No Politics, No Bureaucracy

There are no layers, no approval chains, no corporate theater.

If you have an idea, we test it. If it works, we ship it.

No endless meetings, no PowerPoint presentations to convince middle management.

Remote-Friendly, Global Team

US team: Bay Area preferred, but we hire the best people regardless of location

India team: Building a world-class design center in Bangalore

Move Fast, Ship Real Products

Were not a research project. We have paying customers, committed capital, and aggressive timelines.

This is a company, not a lifestyle business. Were building to win.

What We Value

Ownership mindset. Youre not here to execute someone elses roadmap. Youre here to define it.

Bias for action. We move quick. Analysis paralysis doesnt fly here.

Deep technical expertise. This is hard engineering. We need people whove shipped real silicon and debugged real hardware.

Low ego, high standards. We dont care about titles or politics. We care about results.

The Ask

If youre reading this, youre probably comfortable. You have a good job at a stable company with all the benefits.

Were asking you to walk away from that and bet on us.





Heres why you should:

The market is real. AI infrastructure spending is $200B+ annually and growing 40% YoY. Every hyperscaler needs what were building.

The team has done this before. Weve built and exited semiconductor companies at scale. This isnt our first rodeo.

The traction is de-risked. We have LOIs, strategic investors, and a clear path to revenue.

The work is consequential. Youre not optimizing someones ad click-through rate. Youre building the silicon infrastructure that powers AI.

This is the bet. Join us and build something that matters.

Or stay comfortable. No judgment.

But if youre the kind of person who wants to take the shot, wed love to talk.

READY TO JOIN

The Role

As the HSIO Architect, you will own the high-speed interface architecture across the various product families. You will drive decisions from SerDes architecture to UCIe die-to-die integration, working directly with the Head of Engineering, digital leads, and analog teams. You will also serve as the technical interface to key IP vendors (UCIe PHY, SerDes), foundry partners and anchor customers.

This is not an IP integration role. We need someone who can define the architecture, validate the tradeoffs, and guide execution through tape-out.

Key Responsibilities

Architecture & Definition

Define high-speed IO architecture for PCIe/Ethernet-224G/448G scale-up fabric/CPO-optics to electrical interfaces

Define die-to-die interface architecture for UCIe integration: flit formats, credit-based flow control, sideband management, and latency targets

Architect the SerDes-to-photonics interface, retimer integration, and co-packaged optics (CPO) readiness

Own the signal integrity budget: TX/RX equalization, channel loss allocation, crosstalk margins, and jitter decomposition across the full channel

Implementation Oversight

Guide SerDes PHY selection and evaluation; assess vendor IP (custom vs. licensed), and establish integration requirements

Define and review UCIe PHY integration: bump map, power domain partitioning,



analog/digital co-design requirements, and pad ring architecture

Collaborate with digital architecture lead on protocol bridge design PCIe TLP UCIe flit conversion, flow control, error handling

Drive DFT and compliance test architecture for PCIe certification and UCIe conformance testing

Establish PVT margin strategies and power management per-lane DVFS, shutdown sequences, and IVR chiplet coordination

Customer & Ecosystem Engagement

Serve as primary technical interface to anchor customers and engaging hyperscaler architecture teams (AWS, Google, Microsoft, Meta) to validate product definition against platform requirements

Roadmap & IP

Contribute to RTL reuse strategy enabling derivative roadmap SKUs with minimal re-spin

Identify and scope patentable innovations in UCIe integration, adaptive equalization, and multi-protocol bridge architectures

Required Qualifications

15+ years in high-speed interface architecture; 5+ years at Principal level or higher in a fabless or IDM semiconductor environment

Deep expertise in PCIe architecture from PHY layer through controller and protocol stack; direct tape-out experience strongly preferred

UCIe standard familiarity flit-based transport, sideband protocol, and die-to-die integration in 2.5D/3D packages

Signal integrity expertise: S-parameter analysis, channel simulation (HSPICE/IBIS-AMI), eye diagram closure, and crosstalk budgeting

Experience with advanced nodes and advanced packaging (CoWoS, EMIB, InFO)

Track record of driving complex multi-party IP integrations from architecture through tape-out

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with 224G/400G+ SerDes architectures for scale-up AI fabric (NVLink, UALink, Ultra Ethernet, or proprietary)

Familiarity with electrical-optical co-design for CPO or near-package optics; EIC retimer or photonic interface experience

Prior work in chiplet-based multi-die architectures bumping strategy, KGD handling, heterogeneous integration

PCIe-SIG membership or active contribution to UCIe Consortium working groups

Prior startup experience or comfort with early-stage ambiguity and fast-paced execution
