Li Auto welcomes another "chip expert": Zhang Kaiyuan, a Class of 2022 with the alias Zhang Kaiyuan, will report to CTO Xie Yan.
After the May Day holiday, Li Auto welcomed a newly appointed executive from Class 2022, known internally as Zhang Kaiyuan, who will report directly to CTO Xie Yan. In terms of the company’s organizational structure, this executive is currently assigned temporarily under the second-level department called "System Operations," headed by Long Kaiwen, who holds a position at level 21. Sources familiar with the matter reveal that Zhang Kaiyuan has spent more than 20 years working at a major domestic chip manufacturer, accumulating extensive expertise in areas such as chip integration and advanced semiconductor packaging processes. His arrival is expected to significantly accelerate the mass production of Li Auto’s Mahé chip, as well as ongoing efforts toward the company’s independent research and development of next-generation chips. Meanwhile, whether a dedicated second-level department will be established specifically for him is still under internal planning. "Once he joins, the first step will be aligning clearly with Xie Yan on the current pace of chip development—and his own expectations—before determining how large a team will be needed to tackle the specific tasks ahead," reports 21st Century Business Herald.
