CScale is a startup backed by Sutter Hill Ventures and Atreides Capital - headquartered in Palo Alto, CA. Our executive team has a demonstrated track record of building and scaling category-defining semiconductor and infrastructure businesses at companies like Broadcom, Lumentum, Tesla, Apple, Samsung, Intel, and VMware.

CScale is developing next-generation optical semiconductor solutions for the AI infrastructure market, focused on enabling true “scale-up” architectures. Our mission is to replace traditional copper interconnects with advanced fiber-optic technologies that overcome the limitations of existing optics solutions and architectures.

Duties, Deliverables, and Responsibilities

  • Own the cross-functional execution plan from concept through production (architecture, design, verification, tapeout, bring-up, validation, customer sampling, qualification, release to manufacturing)
  • Build the integrated program plan across design (multiple silicon die, hardware, software), fab, packaging, QA, test, and qualification
  • Set milestones, phase gates, and the critical path with engineering and operations leads, and own the gate reviews
  • Manage program scope, schedule, budget, and resource plans, and drive decisions when any of them change
  • Run the program cadence across global sites and hold teams to their commitments
  • Identify risks early, drive mitigations, and escalate issues with options and a recommendation

  • Working knowledge of the silicon development flow, from design and verification through tapeout, post-silicon validation, and qualification
  • Technical depth to engage engineers on pre- and post-silicon problems and tradeoffs
  • Ability to lead matrixed teams through influence and make sound decisions with incomplete information
  • Clear communication with engineers and executives, and composure under pressure
  • Proficiency with scheduling and tracking tools (e.g. MS Project, Jira, sharepoint, Notion)
  • Bonus: Familiarity with reliability qualification and production ramp

Experience, Background, and Accomplishments

  • 12+ years in semiconductor or hardware product development, including 7+ years leading technical programs and earlier hands-on engineering experience
  • Driven multiple silicon programs from concept through release to manufacturing
  • Experience leading programs across global teams

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.
