Company Description UNLOOC Chips JU Project is an innovation initiative supported by the Chips Joint Undertaking (Grant Agreement No. 101140192), with additional funding from Belgium, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, Spain, and the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI). The project operates within a European research and technology framework focused on advancing semiconductor and related digital technologies. While the project benefits from substantial institutional support, its views and opinions are those of the project team and do not necessarily represent those of the European Union, Chips JU, or other funding bodies. The environment is collaborative, internationally oriented, and driven by research, development, and innovation in cutting-edge technology.
Role Description The Co-Founder will play a central role in shaping the strategic direction, operations, and growth of the UNLOOC Chips JU Project. This full-time hybrid position is based in Division No. 6, SK, with a mix of on-site collaboration and some work-from-home flexibility. Day-to-day responsibilities include defining and executing the business strategy, supporting fundraising and partnership development, and overseeing project planning and delivery. The Co-Founder will engage with stakeholders, manage key relationships with partners and funding bodies, and help build a high-performing team. The role also involves monitoring market trends, guiding sales and marketing activities, and ensuring alignment between technical development, research goals, and business objectives.
