Job description

What you\'ll do

• Own full-cycle recruiting for technical and leadership roles across the semiconductor org, including RTL/design engineers, process integration engineers, device physicists, packaging engineers, test and validation engineers, and technical program managers.




• Act as a strategic partner to hiring managers and senior leaders, advising on market conditions, compensation benchmarking, org design, and hiring strategy rather than just sourcing against a req.




• Build and maintain a strong personal network and talent pipeline across semiconductor companies, fabs, and adjacent industries (EDA, foundry, equipment, materials).




• Lead sourcing strategy for niche and passive candidates, using deep knowledge of semiconductor sub-disciplines (analog/mixed-signal, digital design, DFT, CMOS process, packaging, yield/reliability) to identify qualified talent.




• Manage a high volume of concurrent searches, including confidential and executive-level searches, with minimal oversight.




• Drive an excellent candidate experience from first contact through offer and close, including offer strategy and negotiation.




• Serve as a subject matter expert internally on semiconductor talent markets, compensation trends, and competitor landscape.




• Mentor and support junior recruiters and coordinators; contribute to TA process improvement, tooling, and employer branding initiatives.




• Partner with HR and compensation teams to structure competitive, equitable offers in a highly competitive talent market.

What you\'ll bring

• 5-8 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with a significant, demonstrated focus on the semiconductor industry.




• Proven track record recruiting for technical semiconductor roles (e.g., design, process/integration, product/test engineering, packaging, CAD/EDA, or manufacturing).




• Strong existing network of semiconductor talent and fluency in industry-specific technical terminology, org structures, and career paths.




• Experience partnering with senior technical leaders (Director+) on hiring strategy, headcount planning, and org design.




• Track record of closing passive, competitive candidates in a tight talent market.




• Deep knowledge of compensation structures and equity/leveling practices common in semiconductor and broader hardware/tech companies.




• Excellent stakeholder management, communication, and negotiation skills.




• Experience with applicant tracking systems (e.g., Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby) and sourcing tools (LinkedIn Recruiter, etc.).




• Ability to manage a high-volume, high-complexity req load independently.
