About the role

Role: Corporate Counsel

You’re a technology-aware lawyer who can balance urgency with rigorous legal analysis. You handle legal matters where technology, risk, and business needs intersect, including investigations and cybersecurity/insider-risk situations.

What you’ll be doing

  • Manage internal investigations related to IP, confidential information, and insider threats, coordinating with InfoSec, HR, and business teams to gather facts, assess risk, and guide resolution.
  • Partner with Information Security on legal and regulatory matters for data protection, cybersecurity response, insider risk programs, and protection of proprietary technology and trade secrets.
  • Advise engineering, product, and business teams on IP ownership, confidentiality obligations, licensing structures, and technology transfer considerations (including semiconductor IP, EDA tools, and AI development).
  • Draft, negotiate, and review agreements involving licensing of copyrighted works, software, and other intellectual property, aligning terms with business goals and managing risk.
  • Assess legal considerations for strategic initiatives, partnerships, and emerging technology projects; translate guidance into practical direction for senior stakeholders.
  • Develop policies, procedures, and training to protect company assets and support legal/regulatory compliance globally.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally across Legal, InfoSec, HR, Engineering, and Product Management to enable business progress while managing risk.

Requirements

  • Experience in technology-adjacent legal work involving IP, insider threats, and cybersecurity incidents.
  • Strong judgment to distinguish issues requiring a hard stop vs. those needing workable mitigations.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively with InfoSec, HR, and engineering/product teams.
  • Comfort with technology concepts to understand what’s at risk in source code, licensing structures, and third-party integrations.
  • Familiarity with drafting agreements and advising on confidentiality.

Nice to have

  • Experience supporting semiconductor/AI technology contexts (e.g., EDA tools, AI development) and/or insider risk program legal frameworks.
