About Voltai
Voltai is the leading AI company building agentic systems and frontier foundation models for semiconductor and electronics design. Backed by Sequoia Capital, we’re putting AI in the hands of hardware engineers in over 70% of the world’s largest semiconductor and electronics companies to have effortless control over their next-generation chip and board designs, powering the future of automotive, industrial automation, consumer electronics, IoT, and semiconductor manufacturing. 

About the Team
Our founding team consists of IOI/IPhO olympiad medalists, Stanford professors, ex-CTO of Synopsys, and our business leadership has scaled revenue in their previous companies to over $1.5bn. At Voltai, we are combining the world’s best talent in the intersection of software and hardware.


About the Role
We are seeking a dynamic and highly motivated Chief of Staff to join our extremely fast-paced team at Voltai. This is an operations-heavy role, if you’re looking for purely strategic or product positions this is not a good fit. You will own a broad range of responsibilities, from managing company logistics and team building to directly interfacing with customers and investors. If you’re not excited about the simple tasks and only want to do strategic projects, we have a different position for that, please apply for that at: . 
You will work very closely with the leadership team and have high visibility with silicon valley’s top investors and board members. As a result we expect extremely high problem solving skills and ownership. 

Key Responsibilities:
  • Own large-scale human data projects across domains like circuits, firmware, components, and system design.
  • Work closely with ML, product, and engineering teams to define and deliver on labeling roadmaps.
  • Design scalable workflows to manage human-in-the-loop data generation and quality control.
  • Hire, vet, and manage technical experts—such as electrical engineers and firmware developers—to contribute to annotation and data structuring.
  • Build global partnerships with universities, industry professionals, and consulting networks to continuously expand our data workforce.
  • Manage remote, distributed teams to ensure high-quality output and tight feedback loops.
  • Travel internationally to collect, license, and negotiate access to proprietary or hard-to-find data sets.
  • Build relationships with engineering teams, manufacturing vendors, and domain experts in different geographies.
  • Implement QA systems and review loops to ensure data accuracy, completeness, and consistency.
  • Track the impact of data on model performance and continuously refine processes based on feedback and evaluation results.
  • Contribute to the design and improvement of internal labeling tools and infrastructure.

Required Skillsets:
  • 3–6 years of experience in project management, operations, or strategy at a high-growth startup, consulting firm, or technical company.
  • Track record of running complex, cross-functional initiatives involving external vendors or expert communities.
  • Strong understanding of what makes high-integrity data, ideally with exposure to machine learning workflows or data curation.
  • Excellent communication and organizational skills—you can run projects, manage people, and keep a high bar for execution.
  • Willingness to travel internationally and operate in dynamic, fast-paced environments.
  • Experience with SQL, spreadsheets, and project management tools; familiarity with Python is a plus.
  • Low ego. You'll be joining a team of superstars so there is no room for ego.
  • Technical background (or fluency) in engineering, hardware, or applied sciences is a bonus.

Perks
  • High visibility with investors and board members from some of the best VC firms in the world. 
  • Opportunity to directly contribute to the success of a market-leading AI company.

Our Benefits
  • Unlimited PTO: Recharge when you need it, no questions asked.
  • Comprehensive Health Coverage: Medical, dental, and vision insurance for you and your dependents. 
  • Free Meals and Snacks: Daily lunches, dinners, and snacks in the office.
  • Professional Growth: We invest in your continuous learning and offer opportunities to expand your skills.
  • Visa Sponsorship: We welcome global talent and provide visa sponsorship to support qualified candidates.
