Scope
Ambiq stands at a pivotal moment. Following a successful IPO, the company is accelerating its mission to enable intelligent devices everywhere — from wearables and IoT endpoints to medical-grade sensors running on harvested energy. The technology is real, the traction is global, and the trajectory is steep.
As Ambiq's General Counsel, you won't inherit a legal department. You'll build one. This is a rare opportunity to shape the governance, compliance, and risk architecture of a company redefining what's possible at the silicon level — at the exact moment those frameworks matter most.
The role demands a seasoned legal mind who is equally comfortable in the boardroom and the trenches: someone who can translate complex regulatory terrain to help support clear business decisions. A resilient self-starter who combines sharp instincts with the composure to navigate ambiguity and pushback. So is genuine excitement about the work.
Reporting directly to the CEO, the General Counsel will serve as a trusted advisor to the executive team and Board during a transformative stage — for Ambiq and for the semiconductor industry as a whole.
Legal Strategy & Corporate Governance
Develop and own Ambiq's enterprise legal strategy — one that anticipates risk before it materializes and accelerates growth rather than constraining it.
Draft, review, and negotiate complex commercial agreements with customers, partners, suppliers, and investors across multiple jurisdictions.
Establish governance frameworks that meet post-IPO standards while preserving the agility that defines Ambiq's culture.
Intellectual Property & Technology
Advise on the strategic growth and optimization of Ambiq’s global IP portfolio — including patents, trade secrets, trademarks, and licensing — to ensure semiconductor innovations are well-protected and effectively leveraged for commercial value.
Advise on the structuring and negotiation of technology transactions, joint ventures, strategic alliances, and licensing agreements to strengthen Ambiq’s competitive position.
