DensityAI is seeking an experienced Associate General Counsel to lead the commercial and technology transactions practice within its legal team. Reporting to the General Counsel, you will be an early, foundational member responsible for structuring and closing complex deals that power the company's AI-accelerator business.
You will lead end-to-end commercial and technology transactions, including technology and software licensing, strategic partnerships, business development, and sales & distribution agreements. A significant portion of your work will focus on the semiconductor supply chain, owning legal matters related to foundry, OSAT (outsourced semiconductor assembly and test), and contract-manufacturing agreements—including master service agreements, master purchase agreements, NDAs, statements of work, and negotiations around capacity, pricing, NRE, and tooling.
Your responsibilities will span intellectual-property strategy and technology-transaction structuring (IP licensing, ownership, joint development), export-control compliance (EAR/ITAR), regulatory matters, and data privacy. You will serve as a practical, trusted partner to business, supply chain, engineering, and go-to-market teams, unblocking deals while managing risk effectively. You will also build scalable contracting processes, templates, and playbooks as the company scales, and help grow and lead the Technology Transactions legal team over time.
This role requires someone who can operate independently with confidence in a fast-moving startup environment, bringing structure and efficiency to complex legal work.
REQUIREMENTS:
- JD and active membership in good standing of at least one U.S. state bar (California preferred)
- 12+ years of commercial legal experience, in-house and/or at a top law firm
- Deep expertise in technology and software licensing, strategic partnerships, and complex commercial deals
- Strong technical fluency and technology-transaction expertise; engineering or science background is a plus
- Working knowledge of export controls (EAR/ITAR), regulatory compliance, and data privacy
- Confident, hands-on operator who runs deals independently and brings structure and efficiency
- Direct experience in semiconductor industry preferred, including semiconductor tools and IP vendors, supply chain, foundry (TSMC), OSAT, or contract-manufacturing transactions
