## Job description

Company Overview

Ambiq is on a mission to enable intelligence everywhere — powering the AI edge revolution with the world's lowest-power semiconductor solutions.

Built on our proprietary sub- and near-threshold technology, our chips deliver multi-fold improvements in energy efficiency without costly process scaling. Since 2010, we've shipped over 300 million units to customers building smarter wearables, medical devices, IoT products, and AI-powered edge applications.

Our cross-functional teams span design, research, development, production, marketing, sales, and operations across Austin, Hsinchu, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Singapore. We move fast, tackle hard problems, and create space for people to grow through complex, meaningful work that shapes the future of technology.

We're looking for self-motivated, creative problem-solvers who are eager to push technological limits and make a real impact in energy efficiency.

At Ambiq, we live by five values: Innovate. Collaborate. Focus. Learn. Achieve.

If that's you, join us — the intelligence everywhere revolution starts here.

This role will be on-site 5 days a week in NW Austin.

- Hire, mentor, and develop a high-performing team; establish clear career paths and objectives and foster a culture of innovation, accountability, and operational excellence
- Institute data-driven product operating rhythms (MRD/PRD reviews, launch gates, KPI dashboards).

Cross-Functional Collaboration

- Translate customer/market needs into crisp requirements for Architecture, Silicon, Firmware, AI tools, and Software.
- Partner with Applications/FAE to scale customer support, developer experience, reference designs, and ecosystems.
- Collaborate with Supply Chain/Operations on forecasts and product plans

What Success Looks Like (KPIs)

- Market share growth and AI/software solution attach rate in key ultra-low-power applications
- Ecosystem expansion measured by the number of active partners, developers, or design-ins for reference solutions

- Proven ownership of silicon + software portfolios (MCU/SoC/ASIC, SDKs, toolchains, reference designs).
- Demonstrated success taking complex technical products from concept to high-volume production.
- Strong financial acumen (pricing, margin, P&L) and analytical rigor (market models, experiment design).
- Customer-facing credibility with OEM/ODM/Tier-1 partners; excellent executive communication.
- Ability to synthesize architecture trade-offs (power, performance, area, BOM) into marketable value.
- Education: BS in EE/CE/CS (or related) required; MS/MBA preferred.

## Nice to Have

- Experience with wearables/hearables, consumer health, industrial IoT, medical and/or vision/audio AI at the edge.
- Ecosystem chops: Zephyr, RTOS, TensorFlow Lite Micro/TVM, compilers/Kernels, model optimization/ML perf.
