Job description

NORMAL COMPUTING | BUILD WITH US Normal is an applied AI company solving the hardest problems in AI and silicon. We build foundational hardware and software for the semiconductor industry, critical AI infrastructure, and the broader systems that power our world, in partnership with the world's most advanced institutions. We work as one team across New York City, Silicon Valley (Mountain View), and London. THE ROLE In partnership with our engineering leads, you will break down company objectives into actionable milestones across the engineering org. You will own the schedule across the entire product development lifecycle: silicon, systems and software. You will surface information in a digestible format so that engineering executives are acutely aware of the current state of the project. You will also help to resolve issues across teams. Your work will ensure we ship on time. WHAT YOU WILL OWN - Break down company objectives into actionable milestones across the engineering org. - Own the schedule across the silicon development cycle (architecture, micro-architecture, RTL generation, verification, logic synthesis, design for test, physical design, physical verification, tapeout, packaging, post-silicon testing, bring-up and post-silicon validation), the systems and manufacturing cycle (PCB and board bring-up, server and rack integration and system validation), and software development (compilers, LLVM/MLIR/TVM lowerings, vLLM support and SDKs that support cloud providers). - Coordinate these efforts across our teams in Mountain View, New York, London, Zurich and Copenhagen. - Define metrics, create dashboards and other mechanisms to surface information and track progress. - Identify and mitigate risks to delivery schedules and quality. - Synthesize complex technical status, trade-offs, and risks into clear updates for executive leadership. WHAT MAKES YOU A GREAT FIT - 10+ years in semiconductor development, including 3+ years as a TPM or program lead across silicon, systems and software. - Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills; ability to influence without authority. - Experience in companies with complex software/hardware integration. - Proven track record managing internationally distributed engineering teams. - Proficiency with program management tools such as Jira, Asana or Linear. - Experience with every element of the silicon life-cycle from architecture and RTL generation to verification, tapeout, bring-up and post-silicon validation. - Ability to think out-of-the-box to find solutions. BONUS POINTS - Ph.D. in an electrical engineering discipline. - Familiarity with chiplets and 3D packaging. - Expert at using Linear for program management tracking. - Familiarity with heterogeneous systems used for AI inference. - Experience working with external silicon foundries such as TSMC, Tier II vendors and OSAT vendors. - Experience working at a silicon startup.
