Founding Business Development Lead

About Hextrion

Hextrion is developing next-generation semiconductor advanced packaging to dramatically reduce the energy use, cost and physical footprint of future AI compute. As transistor scaling reaches its physical limits, advanced packaging has become the primary driver of AI performance, determining how efficiently data and power move to and between chips.

We are led by former C-suite and senior executives from the global advanced packaging leaders serving NVIDIA, AMD, Broadcom, Google, Amazon and Microsoft. They are joined by physics AI researchers from Harvard and industry leaders who have deployed production AI systems at TSMC and Apple component manufacturers. We combine deep packaging expertise with physics AI agents and reinforcement learning to design and manufacture advanced packaging with greater performance, precision and yield than current methods deliver.

About the role

As our first business development hire, you'll be in the field making things happen. You'll work directly with our founders to build relationships, move partnerships and deals forward, and turn plans into results across the U.S. and Taiwan. This is a hands-on, high-intensity role for someone who wants to do the work themselves, move fast and take on whatever the company needs.

What you'll do

• Meet with partners, suppliers, manufacturers and customers to open doors and move opportunities forward.
• Drive partnership and deal processes end to end, from first conversation to signed agreement, alongside our executives.
• Scout and evaluate potential partners, including equipment makers, materials suppliers and manufacturing partners.
• Own high-priority projects from start to finish and personally drive them to completion.
• Prepare the materials, analysis and briefings needed for meetings and decisions, quickly.
• Work directly with partners and our teams in both Taiwan and the U.S.

What we're looking for

• 2–5 years of experience in strategy consulting at a top firm (such as McKinsey, BCG or Bain), ideally in technology, hardware or semiconductors, or in strategy, business development or product roles at a leading technology company (such as Google, NVIDIA or AMD).
• Interest in, or experience with, semiconductors, advanced packaging, hardware or AI infrastructure.
• A track record of getting things done: driving projects, closing deals or delivering results with little direction.
• Strong communication, with the confidence to engage executives, engineers and partners.
• Technical curiosity and the ability to learn complex topics quickly.
• Excited to work in a fast-paced, high-intensity early-stage startup.

Role Details

• Minimum education: Bachelor's degree.
• Compensation: $160,000–$220,000 + equity, depending on experience.
• Visa sponsorship: Yes. We will support the visa process.
