Communications Director Jobs in Austin, TX

ABOUT BAYA

Baya is a fast-moving Series B startup built by serial entrepreneurs backed by tier 1 VCs (Matrix and Maverick Silicon), and strategic investors (Intel Capital and Synopsys) with a vision to accelerate intelligent computing in the emerging chiplet era. We focus on software-driven, unified fabric solutions for single-die and multi-die systems, designing and licensing disruptive IP for use in semiconductor chips — alongside software development platforms that simplify the design process and reduce time to market for complex SoC and multi-chiplet systems. Our technology enables partners to innovate and deliver compelling solutions across datacenter, infrastructure, AI, automotive, and Edge IoT markets. We're looking for energetic, dedicated individuals who share our passion for enabling innovation and excellence in the semiconductor industry — people who want to empower game-changing products and services.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a driven and technically literate Marketing Communications Manager to drive and execute Baya's communications strategy across channels. This is a high-impact role sitting at the intersection of product, sales, and brand — ideal for someone who understands the language of engineers and can translate complex semiconductor and chiplet concepts into compelling narratives for multiple audiences. You will own the messaging, content, and campaign execution that fuels our pipeline, builds category credibility, and accelerates design wins. You will work closely with Product, Applications Engineering, and Sales to produce materials that matter at every stage of the customer journey — from early ecosystem awareness through to licensing and silicon ramp. This role can be based in any of our hub locations — Santa Clara, Austin, Cambridge, or London — or fully remote, with occasional travel to customer sites, partner meetings, and industry events.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Content Strategy & Development:

- Support content roadmap: whitepapers, application notes, IP briefs, case studies, blog posts, and video scripts targeted at IC design engineers, SoC architects, FAEs, and procurement decision-makers
- Translate complex technical concepts — chiplet interconnect, fabric architecture, multi-die integration — into clear, differentiated messaging for both technical and executive audiences
- Collaborate with Applications and Product teams to ensure technical accuracy and relevance across all materials

Campaigns & Demand Generation:

- Plan and execute multi-channel marketing campaigns aligned to IP product launches, partnership announcements, and trade show calendars
- Manage email marketing, LinkedIn, industry publications (e.g. EE Times, Semiconductor Engineering, IEEE Spectrum), and sponsored placements
- Track campaign performance across MQL and pipeline metrics; iterate rapidly based on results

Brand & PR:

- Manage relationships with industry analysts (e.g. Gartner, Omdia, Linley Group) and technical press; coordinate press releases and media briefings
- Develop and maintain Baya's brand voice and visual guidelines; ensure consistency across all customer-facing assets
- Support executive thought leadership and speaking submissions for key industry events (Hot Chips, OCP Summit, IEEE, DAC, CES, etc.)

Sales & Licensing Enablement:

- Produce and maintain sales collateral including pitch decks, IP licensing one-pagers, competitive battlecards, and FAE toolkits
- Partner with Sales and Business Development teams to tailor messaging for key verticals: datacenter, AI infrastructure, automotive, and Edge IoT
- Supporting conversion through the customer journey with announcements, targeted content and technical positioning
