Strategic Partnerships, Silicon Ecosystem

Spun out of MIT CSAIL, we build general-purpose AI systems that run efficiently across deployment targets, from data center accelerators to on-device hardware, ensuring low latency, minimal memory usage, privacy, and reliability. We partner with enterprises across consumer electronics, automotive, life sciences, and financial services. We are scaling rapidly and need exceptional people to help us get there.

Liquid AI is building the foundation for edge AI, and silicon providers, to emerging companies building the next generation of AI hardware, are a primary path to customers. Our mission is to make Liquid AI a preferred AI foundation across edge computing platforms through deep technical and commercial partnerships.

You'll work closely with senior leadership, product, engineering and go-to-market teams, initially leading selected partnerships end to end, with the opportunity to take broader ownership of Liquid's silicon ecosystem as the organization grows.

We need someone who:

• A proven track record of developing and executing strategic partnerships that drive measurable outcomes: signed agreements, shipped integrations, and customers

• Experience working with silicon vendors, hardware platforms, OEMs, or embedded computing ecosystems

• Experience leading commercial negotiations and structuring partnerships involving technical integration, distribution, or joint go-to-market

• Product thinking: defining what a joint offering does, who buys it, and why

• Strong understanding of the AI ecosystem and the evolving roles of AI models, inference software, and hardware platforms

• Ability to work effectively across engineering, product, and business organizations

• Experience with AI inference, machine learning infrastructure, or edge AI

• Familiarity with CPU, GPU, and NPU architectures and their software ecosystems

• Background in AI PCs, mobile devices, automotive, IoT, robotics, or embedded systems

• Existing relationships with major semiconductor companies

• At least one silicon partnership taken from early discussions to a signed agreement, a defined joint product, and target customers both companies are pursuing, with Liquid's go-to-market team running the customer conversations and the program moving without your day-to-day involvement
