Company Description

About Axiado

Axiado is redefining how AI infrastructure gets secured and managed. Founded in 2019, we’re a fast-growing, well-funded team of over 180 people worldwide, building the Trusted Control/Compute Unit (TCU), a new class of semiconductor that integrates hardware security, real-time platform management, and AI-driven optimization. Our TCU-based Platform Efficiency Controller is shipping hardware that makes AI servers measurably more efficient, more secure, and more reliable, and we’re extending that foundation into a hardware-anchored management fabric that scales from a single board to the whole fleet.

Backed by strong funding and validated by commercial programs with Tier 1 industry leaders, Axiado has earned recognition through numerous industry awards, including the 2026 AI in Cybersecurity Innovation Award from TMCnet, a Diamond award for Zero Trust Solution of the Year at the 2026 Pinnacle Awards, and Gold at the 2026 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards for AI Security Solution, as well as being a finalist for the Start-Up to Watch Award from the Global Semiconductor Alliance. We’re small enough that every person’s work visibly shapes the company, and we look for people who want to build, not just execute. Every employee holds equity, meaning your work directly builds your stake in the company’s future, not just a paycheck. If you want to help define what comes next, let’s talk.

Job Description

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Technical Recruiter to partner with engineering leadership and help build our U.S. engineering teams behind the TCU. You will own full-cycle recruiting for U.S.-based roles across the entire product stack: ASIC design and verification, silicon validation and QA, embedded firmware and systems software, and machine learning. You will work directly with hiring managers and executives to define roles, build pipelines, and close top technical talent in a highly competitive market.

This is a 6-month contract with the option to convert to a full-time position based on performance and business needs.

What You’ll Do

  • Own full-cycle recruiting for technical roles, from intake and job description through offer, close, and onboarding handoff.
  • Partner with hiring managers and engineering leaders to define role requirements, calibrate candidate profiles, and design structured interview processes.
  • Source and engage passive candidates through LinkedIn Recruiter, GitHub, referrals, university and alumni networks, technical conferences, and targeted outreach into the semiconductor, security, and AI communities.
  • Screen candidates with enough technical fluency to assess fit across hardware, software, and ML disciplines, and give hiring managers crisp, useful summaries.
  • Advise leadership on talent market conditions, competitor landscape, compensation trends, and hiring strategy.
  • Run tight interview loops: coordinate panels, drive timely feedback, lead debriefs, and keep stakeholders aligned.
  • Partner with HR on offer strategy, compensation structure, and negotiation for competitive, passive candidates.
  • Build long-term talent pipelines and maps for critical and hard-to-fill roles.
  • Maintain accurate candidate data in our ATS (SmartRecruiters) and track the recruiting metrics that matter.
  • Deliver an excellent experience for candidates and hiring managers, and represent the Axiado employer brand in the market.

Qualifications

What You’ll Bring

  • 5+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience, with significant focus on semiconductor, hardware, or deep-tech companies (agency and in-house experience both welcome).
  • Proven track record filling hard-to-find engineering roles across ASIC/SoC design, design verification, physical design, silicon validation, test and QA, embedded firmware and systems software, hardware security, machine learning/AI, and board and hardware systems engineering.
  • Working knowledge of the full product development lifecycle, from chip architecture and RTL through verification, tape-out, and silicon bring-up, to board and hardware system design and production, and how firmware, software, and ML fit into it.
  • An existing network within the silicon engineering, embedded software, and/or AI communities.
  • Demonstrated success sourcing and closing passive, highly sought-after candidates.
  • Ability to influence and advise senior engineering leaders (Director and above).
  • Knowledge of compensation, equity, and leveling practices at startups and established semiconductor companies.
  • Experience managing a high volume of concurrent searches independently in a fast-paced startup environment.
  • Excellent communication, writing, and stakeholder management skills.
  • AI fluency: comfortable using AI-enabled sourcing and productivity tools to work smarter.
  • Experience with applicant tracking systems (SmartRecruiters, Greenhouse, Lever, or similar) and sourcing tools such as LinkedIn Recruiter.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
