Job description

Quoted in full from DensityAI's job posting. Gavroche does not edit it.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Be an early, foundational member of DensityAI's legal team — the experienced commercial and technology counsel who structures and closes the deals that power our AI-accelerator business. Reporting to the General Counsel, you'll lead the team that owns complex commercial and technology transactions end-to-end, from technology and software licensing and strategic partnerships to the semiconductor supply-chain, foundry, and contract-manufacturing agreements at the heart of the company. You'll come in with the confidence to operate independently and help build and lead a world-class Commercial/Technology Transactions legal team.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Lead complex commercial and technology transactions — technology/software licensing, strategic partnerships, business development, and sales & distribution deals
  • Own the legal work behind our silicon supply chain — foundry, OSAT, and contract-manufacturing agreements (MSAs, MPAs, NDAs, SOWs, capacity/pricing, NRE/tooling)
  • Advise on intellectual-property strategy and technology-transaction structuring (IP licensing, ownership, joint development)
  • Guide export-control compliance (EAR/ITAR), other regulatory matters, and data privacy
  • Be a practical, trusted partner to business, supply chain, engineering, and GTM — unblocking deals while managing risk
  • Build scalable contracting processes, templates, and playbooks as the company grows
  • Help grow and lead a Tech Trans legal team over time

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

  • JD and active membership in good standing of at least one U.S. state bar (CA preferred)
  • 12+ years of commercial experience, in-house and/or at a top law firm
  • Deep expertise in technology and software licensing, strategic partnerships, and complex commercial deals
  • Strong technical fluency and technology-transaction ("tech trans") expertise; engineering or science background is a plus
  • Working knowledge of export controls (EAR/ITAR), regulatory compliance, and data privacy
  • A confident, hands-on operator who runs deals independently in a fast-moving startup and brings structure and efficiency
  • Direct experience in the semiconductor ideally with semiconductor tools and IP vendors, supply chain, foundry (TSMC), OSAT, or contract-manufacturing transactions

Full compensation packages are based on candidate experience and relevant certifications. 

California pay range
$300,000—$325,000 USD
