Satish Sunkari — CTO

Engineering leader with 20+ years in the semiconductor industry, driven by a passion for scaling organizations, solving complex problems, and delivering impactful products at global scale. Currently leading Engineering and Operations at AION Silicon India, where I built and scaled the organization from the ground up into a high-performing, multi-disciplinary team. I’ve owned end-to-end execution across design, verification, physical design, DFT, and software—delivering over 45+ successful tape-outs across GPUs, connectivity, and high-performance ASICs. Physical Design Engineer with proven expertise in executing large-scale SoCs (up to 650 mm²) across advanced nodes down to 5 nm, with a focus on full-chip delivery and convergence. Beyond technical delivery, my focus has been on building sustainable systems—hiring and developing talent, aligning engineering with business goals, optimizing cost and capacity, and creating strong customer and partner ecosystems. I’ve worked closely with global stakeholders, contributed to presales and strategic planning, and helped translate complex engineering challenges into viable business outcomes. With over a decade of international experience in the U.S., I bring a global mindset to leadership, execution, and growth. I’m particularly interested in opportunities where technology, scale, and business strategy intersect—whether that’s building a company from the ground up or leading organizations through their next phase of growth. I believe great companies are built on strong teams, clear vision, and disciplined execution—and I’m motivated by the challenge of turning ideas into scalable, high-impact businesses.
