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.
