Industry Expertise: 7+ years of experience in semiconductor packaging, specifically within the Datacenter or HPC ecosystem.
Advanced Packaging Knowledge: Deep architectural understanding of 2.5D/3D integration, Chiplets, HBM, and TSV technologies, including the challenges inherent in large-die, multi-chip modules.
Strategic Technical Influence: Proven experience in a technical marketing, applications engineering, or architectural role where you have influenced product roadmaps and managed high-stakes technical relationships.
Operational Awareness: Ability to balance cutting-edge technical possibilities with business realities such as time-to-market, yield optimization, and supply chain constraints.
Communication: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to distill complex technical concepts for both executive and engineering audiences.

Responsibilities

Lead Customer Technical Engagement: Serve as the technical authority in meetings with Tier-1 datacenter customers; address requirements for interconnect bandwidth, power efficiency, and thermal management.
Translate Requirements to Execution: Deconstruct high-level customer product visions into actionable engineering specifications. Define technical requirements for HBM integration, fine-pitch micro-bumps, and advanced substrate technologies for internal development teams.
Drive Technology Roadmaps: Evaluate and influence the long-term Advanced Packaging roadmap. Assess the feasibility of emerging technologies—including Hybrid Bonding, Co-Packaged Optics (CPO), and Optical I/O—specifically for the Datacenter SoC market.
Strategic Project Leadership: Lead the technical lifecycle of packaging projects by identifying bottlenecks, proposing performance-cost trade-offs, and ensuring cross-functional alignment.
Collaborative Architecture Review: Partner with SoC Architects, Signal/Power Integrity (SI/PI) teams, and Foundry/OSAT partners to ensure package designs support high-speed data transmission and high-power delivery.
Complete other responsibilities as assigned.
