3D Chiplet Expert

Location: Leuven (Belgium), Grenoble (France), Nice (France) or remote

About Us:
Vertical Compute is an early-stage deep tech startup dedicated to pioneering next-generation memory technologies for advanced computing architecture. Our mission is to redefine the well-known trade-offs of semiconductor memory devices, ultimately enabling the future of computing. We are welcoming passionate, experienced, and forward-thinking colleagues to join our dynamic team and disrupt the industry together.

About What You Will Do:

We are seeking a 3D Integration / Chiplet Expert to define and implement 2.5D/3D advanced packaging solutions for our Vertical Integrated Memory (VIM) technology. You will collaborate across teams to define optimal interconnect strategies and die stacking approaches to enable high-bandwidth, low-power operation.

Key Responsibilities:

• Integration Architecture & Process Definition:
  Develop and define architectures for 2.5D/3D stacking and heterogeneous integration of VIM dies. Work with design and technology teams to develop interconnect solutions that ensure high bandwidth and low latency.
  
  

• Performance Analysis & Simulation:
  Conduct multi-physics simulations (thermal, electrical, mechanical) to analyze and optimize the performance and reliability of integrated systems.
  
  

• Collaboration & Communication:
  Partner closely with design, process engineering, metrology, and system architecture teams. Participate in conferences, standardization bodies and industry events to promote or lead discussions about the future of chiplet integration.
  
  

• Technical Leadership:
  Provide technical leadership and project management guidance to multidisciplinary teams.
  

About Who You Are:

• You’ve spent 5–10 years exploring the frontiers of 2.5D/3D packaging and heterogeneous integration, turning complex ideas into manufacturable systems.
  
  

• You thrive where architecture meets technology — translating ambitious concepts into elegant, high-performance designs.
  
  

• Multi-physics isn’t just theory to you; you use thermal, electrical, and mechanical simulations to see the whole system clearly.
  
  

• You’re naturally collaborative — just as comfortable in technical deep dives as you are building bridges between design, process, and system teams.
  
  

• You’re the kind of engineer who balances vision with execution: leading projects, mentoring peers, and pushing boundaries with a calm hand.
  
  

• Above all, you’re curious — drawn to the challenge of building something new and meaningful at the intersection of memory, compute, and packaging innovation.

Why Join Us:

• Work at the forefront of memory technology innovation.
  
  

• Be part of a human adventure: we value curiosity, creativity, and joy in doing exceptional work.
  
  

• Collaborate with a talented and dedicated team in a fast-paced startup environment.
  
  

• Contribute to projects shaping the future of computing and electronics.
  
  

• Enjoy a motivating total rewards package.
