Semiconductor Engineering Expert

What You'll Do5

• Create difficult technical problems from your own area, including device physics, process integration, circuit design, lithography, packaging, yield, and reliability, with realistic constraints and supporting data.
• Provide the correct solution and explain the reasoning that leads to it.
• Define objective criteria for correctness so that another expert reviewing the work would reach the same conclusion.
• Review problems built by other contributors for technical accuracy and soundness of method.
• Flag problems that turn out to be ambiguous or ungradable instead of submitting them.

Requirements4

• Master's or PhD in electrical engineering, materials science, applied physics, or a closely related field.
• Principal, staff, or fellow-level experience at a major semiconductor company, or a faculty appointment at a leading university.
• Deep technical depth in at least one semiconductor subdomain, with hands-on ownership of the work.
• Able to explain why an answer is correct clearly enough that another engineer could verify it.

Preferred Qualifications2

• Publications, patents, or a record of technical leadership.
• AI or LLM evaluation experience.

Who Should Apply

This role suits a semiconductor expert with a Master's or PhD and principal-level industry experience or a faculty appointment. You should have deep hands-on knowledge in one subdomain and be able to justify your reasoning so other engineers can verify it.
