Job Description:

Are you a versatile, senior engineer capable of leading external and internal cross-functional teams in areas such as physical design, STA, DFT, and packaging? Have you taped out so many chips that you can identify potential design problems hidden in EDA reports, advise design teams on how to fix them, and then publish an application note about avoiding them in future? Do you love technical-deep-dive with engineers and providing an eagle’s eye summary to management? If this is your engineering profile and you are looking for a challenge, then we have one for you.

Broadcom develops critical Infrastructure chips that enable a variety of Customers to produce ASICs in almost all major segments of the Semiconductor industry, including AI.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
