Role Overview

We are looking for an experienced Principal Engineer –RV(EM/IR) to lead power integrity and reliability signoff activities for advanced-node SoC designs. In this role, you will drive IR drop and electromigration (EM) analysis, define signoff methodologies, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to achieve robust and reliable silicon implementation. The ideal candidate should possess deep expertise in power integrity analysis, strong understanding of advanced-node challenges, and proven experience in leading signoff closure for complex chip designs.

WhatYou'llDo

Lead full-chip and block-level IR drop and electromigration (EM) analysis for advanced-node SoC designs
Drive power integrity signoff closure by identifying, debugging, and resolving IR/EM violations
Collaborate with Physical Design, Power, Package, and Foundry teams to optimize power delivery networks
Define and improve EM/IR methodologies, automation flows, and signoff strategies
Perform static and dynamic IR analysis across multiple operating conditions and scenarios
Analyze power grid robustness, current density, and thermal impacts to ensure design reliability
Support tapeout activities and ensure high-quality signoff delivery within project timelines

WhatWe'reLooking For

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or VLSI-related discipline
14+ years of experience in IR/EM analysis, power integrity, or Physical Design signoff
Strong understanding of power integrity concepts including static/dynamic IR drop, EM analysis, and power grid optimization
Hands-on experience with industry-standard tools such as Cadence Voltus, Ansys RedHawk, or equivalent
Good understanding of Physical Design flow including floorplanning, placement, CTS, routing, and extraction
Strong scripting skills in Tcl, Python, Perl, or Shell for automation and flow development

Good to Have

Experience with advanced technology nodes such as 7nm, 5nm, 3nm, or below
Exposure to package-aware analysis, thermal analysis, and low-power methodologies
Experience in leading signoff closure for large-scale SoC or high-performance compute designs

Success in This Role Looks Like

Achieving robust IR/EM signoff with minimal iterations and successful tapeout execution
Early identification and resolution of power integrity risks impacting performance and reliability
Improved signoff productivity through methodology enhancements and automation initiatives
Strong technical leadership and collaboration across implementation and signoff teams

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

That's 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 isn't a nice-to-have. It's the critical path.

Why Now

The Market Window

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

Moore's 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 — they're 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: We're entering the market at exactly the moment when every major AI/HPC player needs what we're 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

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

This is a company, not a lifestyle business. We're building to win.

What We Value

Ownership mindset. You're not here to execute someone else's roadmap. You're here to define it.
Bias for action. We move fast. Analysis paralysis doesn't fly here.
Deep technical expertise. This is hard engineering. We need people who've shipped real silicon and debugged real hardware.
Low ego, high standards. We don't care about titles or politics. We care about results.

The Ask

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

We're asking you to walk away from that and bet on us.

Here's Why You Should

The market is real. AI infrastructure spending is $200B+ annually and growing 40% YoY. Every hyperscaler needs what we're building.
The team has done this before. We've built and exited semiconductor companies at scale. This isn't our first rodeo.
The traction is de-risked. We have LOIs, strategic investors, and a clear path to revenue.
The work is consequential. You're not optimizing someone's ad click-through rate. You're 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 you're the kind of person who wants to take the shot, we'd love to talk.
