About the Role
DensityAI is building the AI accelerator silicon that powers the next generation of compute, from first silicon through scale-out. Our hardware team is growing quickly, and we're looking for a Technical Recruiter dedicated to hardware engineering hiring.
You'll be a strategic partner to hardware engineering leaders, running searches for deeply technical, hard-to-fill roles across silicon, packaging, and systems. You'll build the pipelines, process, and relationships that help us hire exceptional hardware talent quickly as we scale.
Location: Onsite in Mountain View, CA. This role requires working onsite at our Mountain View office.
What You'll Do
- Own full-cycle recruiting for hardware engineering roles, including RTL design, design verification (DV), physical design, silicon validation, packaging, PCB, thermal, mechanical, and systems engineering
- Partner closely with hiring managers to scope roles, calibrate on talent, and run structured, efficient interview processes
- Proactively source and build pipelines of passive hardware and semiconductor talent through networks, referrals, events, and direct outreach
- Manage candidates in Greenhouse with rigor, keeping pipelines clean, data accurate, and stages moving
- Deliver an outstanding candidate experience and represent DensityAI's mission and technical brand
- Coordinate onsite interviews and work closely with interviewers and the recruiting team in our Mountain View office
- Navigate work authorization and ITAR/export control considerations, partnering with our immigration and legal teams
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience, with a strong track record hiring hardware or semiconductor engineers
- Working knowledge of hardware engineering disciplines (silicon design, verification, physical design, packaging, or systems) and the ability to speak credibly with engineers
- Hands-on sourcing expertise (LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search, referrals, and networks) for passive, high-demand candidates
- Experience with an ATS (Greenhouse strongly preferred)
- A strong sense of urgency balanced with a high bar for candidate quality and experience
- (Optional) Experience recruiting in a startup or high-growth environment, or familiarity with ITAR/export-controlled roles
