Program Director are redefining the economics of AI infrastructure. Our mission is to democratise AI by significantly reducing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of hardware systems — a critical barrier to scalable adoption. Our proprietary MIMO-over-copper technology powers a high-performance, chiplet-based AI memory fabric that is both scalable and energy-productive. Unlike traditional interconnects, our solution reduces power consumption significantly while preserving high bandwidth and ultra-low latency — unlocking unprecedented efficiency for AI training and inference at scaleour architecture is not just an incremental improvement — it’s a foundational shift in how AI hardware is built for the future. Silicon Validation Director Location: Hyderabad Department: Silicon Engineering / Hardware Validation Employment Type: Full-Time We are a semiconductor company pioneering high-performance interconnect and chip-tochip communication solutions. Our engineering teams push the boundaries of what is possible in silicon design, validation, and system integration.



We are looking for a seasoned Silicon Validation Lead to join our R&D; organization and drive end-to-end validation of complex So C platforms. Role Overview As the Silicon Validation Director you will own the full lifecycle of silicon bring-up and validation for next-generation So C platforms that integrate PCIe, CXL, DDR5, RISC-V processors, Memory Fabric, PCIe Switch, and Caliptra Root of Trust (Ro T) subsystems. You will lead a cross-functional validation team, define test strategies, and act as the primary technical interface between design, architecture, firmware, and system teams to ensure first-pass silicon quality and robust production readiness. Key Responsibilities Silicon Bring-Up & Validation • Lead pre- and post-silicon validation for complex So Cs encompassing PCIe Gen 4/5/6, CXL 1.1/2.0/3.0, DDR5 memory subsystems, RISC-V processor cores, Memory Fabric, PCIe Switch, and Caliptra Ro T IP.• Drive silic
