Job Description:
Summary
SiFive is seeking a hands-on, deeply technical Contract Technical Marketing Engineer (TME) to bridge the gap between CPU/AI architecture and customer-facing marketing collateral.
In this role, your core focus will be translating complex technical specifications, PPA (Power, Performance, Area) data, and microarchitectural concepts into clear, compelling NDA customer presentations and outbound marketing materials.
We prioritize a strong technical foundation above all else—we can teach high-impact marketing frameworks and collateral design, but deep technical literacy in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or CPU/AI hardware design is required.
The Role
As a Contract Technical Marketing Engineer, you will work closely with Product Managers, Architects, and Marketing Leads to produce technical deliverables that build customer confidence and drive adoption of SiFive RISC-V IP. You will act as a technical storyteller, turning raw architecture data into high-value NDA technical collateral, customer evaluation decks, product briefs, and outbound technical content.
Key Responsibilities
Outbound Content Creation: Develop technical marketing assets for product launch and beyond, including but not limited to: product briefs, technical white papers, infographics and blog posts
NDA Customer Collateral & Deep-Dives: Partner with Product Managers and Engineering to author detailed, NDA-level technical presentations, architecture comparison decks, and deep-dive evaluation guides for prospective customer engineering teams.
Technical Spec & PPA Translation: Analyze benchmark data, PPA figures, and architectural specs, translating complex engineering details into clear, structured, and visually engaging content.
Demos & Proofs of Concept: Assist in defining, building, or documenting technical demos and code/architecture showcases that demonstrate SiFive performance advantages in High performance CPU, AI acceleration, or Automotive/Embedded workloads.
Creative Alignment: Collaborate with internal leads and graphic design to ensure technical concepts are accurately and professionally represented in visual graphics and collateral.
Qualifications
Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering (EE), Computer Engineering (CE), Computer Science (CS), or a related technical discipline.
Technical Experience: 2–5 years of experience in technical marketing, application engineering, technical support, systems engineering, or hardware design within the semiconductor industry.
Core Technical Fluency: Solid understanding of processor architecture (CPU/GPU/DSP), SoC microarchitecture, memory hierarchies, or AI/ML hardware…
