Associate Analog Design Engineer
Semtech- Full Time
- Junior (1 to 2 years)
Primary is the largest early-stage venture firm in the world, with $1B in assets under management, investing in pre-seed and seed-stage startups based in New York City. The firm’s Incubation arm, Primary Labs, launched in 2019 to support the ideation, research and launch of new startups. Primary’s first three incubated companies will return its first fund many times over, and Primary is now primed for substantial growth in its Incubation efforts.
Primary Labs is looking for an Operator-In-Residence (OIR) to join its Incubation program with a focus on opportunities within the semiconductor industry. This role is open to remote candidates. We’re amidst the biggest infrastructure build out in decades. There is $1T+ of cap-ex going into building out AI infrastructure over the next decade, with much of that spend going into compute. With complexity, scale, and demand rising, we believe the semiconductor industry needs new innovation, across software and hardware. As a result, we believe there is a unique opportunity for new entrants to start generational companies in the semiconductor industry.
Primary has a concerted focus to invest in and incubate businesses across the semis and data center value chain, a recent example being Etched, the world’s first transformer ASIC. Etched is disrupting the GPU market with a product purpose built for transformer inference, enabling use cases we never could have imagined like real-time video games. The company recently raised a $120M Series A, with features in TechCrunch and Crunchbase.
We’re hiring an Operator in Residence (OIR) to explore and incubate new ventures in the semiconductor space, with a dual-pronged approach across academic commercialization and industry opportunity mapping.
As an OIR, you will work across two core vectors:
Academic Commercialization
Industry-Driven Opportunity Discovery
