[Hiring] Semiconductor Devices & Microelectronics Expert @24-MAG

Role Description

We are sharing a specialised consulting opportunity for experienced Semiconductor Devices & Microelectronics Experts with strong expertise in semiconductor device physics, microfabrication, process integration, device modelling, reliability, materials, and microelectronics engineering to contribute to an advanced AI training and semiconductor-technology evaluation project. Selected professionals will analyse semiconductor-device concepts, fabrication and integration processes, device scaling, reliability, and materials, while reviewing AI-generated technical content for accuracy and engineering quality. No prior experience in AI is required.

Key Responsibilities

• Device Physics, Scaling & Modelling
  • Analyse semiconductor-device operating principles and physical mechanisms
  • Evaluate device behaviour across different operating regimes
  • Review device models, scaling strategies, and performance predictions
  • Assess trade-offs involving power, speed, leakage, and reliability
  • Identify technically inaccurate or incomplete explanations
• Fabrication, Materials & Reliability
  • Review microfabrication processes, process flows, and integration strategies
  • Analyse process variation, manufacturability, yield, and optimisation considerations
  • Evaluate materials used in semiconductor and electronic-device fabrication
  • Assess degradation mechanisms, failure modes, reliability testing, and qualification approaches
  • Connect materials, fabrication choices, and process conditions with device performance
• AI Evaluation & Technical Review
  • Review AI-generated semiconductor and microelectronics content for accuracy and completeness
  • Identify technical errors, oversimplifications, weak assumptions, or missing context
  • Evaluate practical relevance across device, process, manufacturing, and reliability scenarios
  • Provide structured expert feedback supporting model improvement
  • Document technical reasoning, assumptions, and conclusions clearly

Qualifications

• Master's or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, Physics, or a related discipline
• Extensive experience in semiconductor devices or microelectronics engineering
• Strong understanding of semiconductor device physics and device design
• Hands-on exposure to microfabrication and semiconductor process integration
• Experience with device modelling, scaling, and performance optimisation
• Familiarity with semiconductor reliability testing and failure mechanisms
• Knowledge of materials used in semiconductor fabrication
• Understanding of manufacturing yield, process variation, and process optimisation
• Strong analytical and critical-thinking skills
• Excellent written and verbal technical communication
• Experience with technical publications, patents, or collaborative R&D projects is advantageous
• No prior AI-training or model-evaluation experience is required

Requirements

• Independent contractor engagement
• Fully remote
• Displayed compensation range: $66–$130/hour
• Actual compensation structure is output-based, with payment made per task that meets project specifications
• Task completion time may vary depending on experience and workflow
• Minimum weekly submission requirements apply; the source does not specify the exact number of required tasks
• Work will involve semiconductor-device physics, microfabrication, process integration, device modelling, reliability, materials analysis, and technical evaluation
• Collaboration will primarily occur asynchronously with project coordinators and other domain experts
• Roles are typically filled within approximately 48 hours
• Selected experts are expected to begin initial tasks within approximately 24–48 hours after onboarding
• Project scope, workload, technical topics, and evaluation standards may evolve depending on project requirements
• Work must be completed without using confidential or proprietary information belonging to any employer, client, research institution, laboratory, fabrication facility, or other third party
