• Conduct in-depth industry research covering semiconductor supply chain dynamics, AI‑infrastructure trends, market shifts, and competitive landscapes.
• Monitor relevant corporate earnings, news releases, and technological developments, and incorporate these into reports and model updates.
• Draft research reports, presentations, and newsletters, summarizing insights in a clear, structured, and impactful manner to reach both technical and non‑technical audiences.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional team members globally, and potentially participate in conferences or external events representing the firm.

Candidate Profile / Required Qualifications

• Undergraduate degree in a relevant field such as Business, Finance, Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent.
• 1–5 years of prior experience in equities research, investment banking, buy‑side, or a related analytical role.
• Familiarity with financial modelling (especially three‑statement modelling) and strong proficiency with Excel.
• Strong research skills, ability to synthesize information across multiple sources, and to draw actionable insights from complex data.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills—able to explain complex technological or market dynamics clearly and effectively.
• Self‑motivated, proactive, and capable of working independently within a fast‑paced and globally‑distributed team.
• A genuine interest in semiconductors, AI infrastructure, and emerging technology trends; prior exposure or knowledge of the semiconductor supply chain is a strong plus.
• Proficiency in English (additional languages a plus), comfortable working in an international environment.
