What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in a semiconductor contract position, and why are they important?

Succeeding in a Semiconductor Contract role requires strong knowledge of semiconductor fabrication processes, quality control, and supply chain management, usually backed by technical education or experience in electronics or engineering. Familiarity with tools such as SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope), CAD software, and ERP systems, along with certifications like Six Sigma or IPC, is often important. Excellent negotiation, attention to detail, and collaborative communication skills help manage client expectations and vendor relationships effectively. These skills ensure efficient contract execution, high product quality, and timely delivery within the highly technical semiconductor industry.

What is a semiconductor contract?

A Semiconductor Contract job is a temporary or project-based position within the semiconductor industry. These roles often involve working on specific projects related to chip design, manufacturing, testing, or supply chain management. Contract employees may be hired by semiconductor companies or through staffing agencies to meet short-term or specialized needs. The duration of such contracts can vary from a few months to several years. These roles provide flexibility and can be a pathway to permanent employment in the industry.

What are some of the main challenges faced in a semiconductor contract role?

Professionals in Semiconductor Contract roles often navigate the complexities of coordinating between multiple suppliers, manufacturers, and internal teams to ensure projects stay on track and meet rigorous technical standards. Challenges can include managing supply chain disruptions, adapting to rapid technology changes, and maintaining strict quality assurance throughout the contract lifecycle. Additionally, clear communication with engineering teams and clients is crucial to address any evolving requirements or specifications. Successfully overcoming these challenges not only ensures project completion but also builds strong relationships within this fast-paced and innovation-driven industry.

Job description

Join JRC's Semiconductor Technology Team!

We are seeking a technically commanding Senior Manager of Semiconductor Technologies to manage our core development efforts in radiation-hardened microelectronics. Reporting directly to the Vice President of Semiconductor Technologies, this role oversees the strategic direction and technical execution of our next-generation LEAP Standard Cell Library and leads the development of proprietary simulation software for predicting reliability and radiation-induced error rates.

What You'll Do

  • Mentor, manage, and grow a high-performing multidisciplinary team of device physicists, circuit designers, and software engineers.
  • Serve as the subject matter expert on Semiconductor Device Physics for radiation effects, including TID, SEE, and SEU.
  • Define the technical strategy and roadmap for Radiation Hardened LEAP Standard Cell Libraries across multiple advanced foundry technology nodes.
  • Interface regularly with government and DoW customers, DIB customers and strategic partners, and attend relevant conferences. Contribute to BD pipeline assessments and capture tracking. Provide hands-on assistance with technical content of capture proposals and work seamlessly with the contracts and proposal execution teams.
  • Direct the development and enhancement of proprietary software tools used for analyzing circuit reliability and radiation-induced error rates.
  • Oversee advanced library characterization and simulations to optimize Power, Performance, and Area (PPA) in harsh environments.
  • Manage relationships with external foundry partners to influence Multi-Product Wafer (MPW) execution and interface directly with customers to ensure technical quality control.

What You Bring

  • Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, or a related field with 2+ years of direct industry experience, OR a Master's degree with 6+ years of direct industry experience, OR a Bachelor's degree with 8+ years of experience.
  • Must be eligible to obtain a U.S. security clearance due to the nature of defense-related projects.
  • Deep foundational knowledge of semiconductor device physics and semiconductor design methodologies and principles.
  • Hands-on experience with standard cell design, circuit design, and layout, and associated design tools (e.g. Virtuoso, Spectre, HSPICE)
  • Demonstrated experience being involved in test-chip designs and MPW execution.
  • Proficiency in design flows including DRC/LVS, timing analysis, and power integrity.
  • Extensive experience with semiconductor device & design simulation tools, specifically for library characterization.
  • Demonstrated track record of managing or leading engineers for a minimum of 5 years.
  • Demonstrated end-to-end track record of steering execution of complex technical projects from initial concept/feasibility phase through completion.
  • Outstanding communication and presentation skills

Bonus Points

  • Ph.D. with 5+ years, Master's with 9+ years, or Bachelor's with 10+ years of direct industry experience.
  • Proven leadership running and scaling highperforming multidisciplinary engineering teams while owning technical strategy and roadmaps.
  • Demonstrated success shaping governmentfocused proposals/contracts and contributing to BD pipelines and strategic captures.
  • Direct RHBD experience mitigating SEU/SEE, plus proficiency in C++, Python, and TCL for advanced simulation and automation.
  • Handson work with advanced FinFET and GAA nodes (e.g., Intel 18A) and a strong ability to rapidly learn new physics and technology platforms.
