Cirrus Logic is a leader in low-power, high-precision mixed-signal processing and audio solutions. The company provides a wide range of audio products, including codecs, amplifiers, and converters, primarily for consumer electronics such as smartphones, laptops, tablets, and wearables. With extensive expertise in high-performance mixed-signal design, Cirrus Logic also explores applications in haptic technology and various power-related products.

📋 Description

• Build and execute Cirrus Logic’s federal government affairs strategy and advise executives, business units, and third parties on delivering key messages about Cirrus Logic’s policy and regulatory positions. • Serve as an early-warning system and first line of defense relating to federal policy and regulatory actions, including tariffs, export controls, sanctions, and immigration restrictions, that could disrupt Cirrus Logic’s supply chain, customer access, or ability to hire engineering talent. • Articulate a clear, compelling vision for the importance of the U.S. fabless semiconductor industry, Cirrus Logic’s leadership role in audio and mixed-signal semiconductor design, and the need for policies to support the vision. • Translate legislative, regulatory, and geopolitical developments, particularly related to U.S.-China trade and export controls, into clear business risk and strategic opportunity assessments for senior leadership, Legal, and Investor Relations. • Engage Congress to advocate for federal trade, export control, and R&D policies that most directly affect a fabless semiconductor company’s ability to compete globally across consumer electronics, automotive, and industrial markets. • Represent Cirrus Logic within the Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA) and other trade associations and coalitions, ensuring the specific interests of fabless companies are reflected alongside those of IDMs and foundries in industry-wide advocacy positions. • Build and maintain relationships with congressional offices, agency staff, and policymakers relevant to Cirrus Logic’s business, and represent the company at industry events, briefings, and coalition meetings. • Manage Cirrus Logic’s state government affairs in Texas, including engagement with the Texas Legislature, the Governor’s office, and state economic development and workforce agencies on issues affecting the company’s Austin headquarters, R&D investment, and semiconductor workforce pipeline. • Coordinate with outside lobbyists, trade associations, and consultants engaged on Cirrus Logic’s behalf to ensure a consistent, well-resourced federal advocacy program. • Support Cirrus Logic’s regulatory strategy, with the expectation that international policy and regulatory engagement may become a larger part of the role over time.

🎯 Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in federal and/or state government affairs, regulatory affairs, public policy, legislative advocacy, trade policy, or export control compliance, ideally within or serving the semiconductor, technology, or electronics industry. • Demonstrated experience working with Congress, federal agencies, and senior policymakers on technology, trade, or industrial policy matters; experience with the Texas Legislature or Texas state government is a plus. • Familiarity with employment-based immigration and high-skilled workforce policy (H-1B and other visa categories, STEM OPT, green card backlogs) is a plus, given Cirrus Logic’s reliance on global engineering talent. • Priority is placed on a strong grasp of the fabless semiconductor business model and global semiconductor supply chain policy (export controls, tariffs, foundry/OSAT dependencies) over any specific end-market background. • Experience representing a company through a trade association such as SIA, or building coalitions among companies with varied positions on trade and export policy. • Experience with regulatory matters in the United States and internationally is a plus.

🏖️ Benefits

• Regular travel to Cirrus Logic’s Austin, Texas headquarters to manage state government affairs, plus periodic travel to other U.S. and international policy locations as needed.
