$66.00 - $130.00 per hour
About the role
- 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 performanceAI Evaluation & Technical ReviewReview 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
- Ideal Profile
- 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
- Engagement Details
- 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
- About the Platform
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
