How much do semiconductor quality jobs pay per hour?

As of May 29, 2026, the average hourly pay for semiconductor quality in the United States is $21.22, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $17.31 and $23.32 per hour, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is the difference between Semiconductor Quality vs Semiconductor Manufacturing Technician?

AspectSemiconductor QualitySemiconductor Manufacturing Technician
CredentialsTypically requires quality assurance certifications, technical degreesRequires technical training, certifications in manufacturing processes
Work EnvironmentQuality labs, inspection areas, office settingsCleanrooms, production lines, manufacturing floors
Industry UsageFocuses on product quality, compliance, testingFocuses on equipment operation, assembly, process execution

Semiconductor Quality professionals primarily ensure product standards and compliance, working in testing and inspection environments. In contrast, Semiconductor Manufacturing Technicians are involved in the hands-on production process, operating equipment and maintaining manufacturing lines. Both roles are essential in the semiconductor industry but focus on different stages of the product lifecycle.
