About the role

About the job: Remote | Semiconductor Devices & Microelectronics Expert - $66-$130/hour We are sharing a specialised consulting opportunity for experienced Semiconductor Devices & Microelectronics Experts with strong expertise in semiconductor device physics, microfabrication, process integration, device modelling, reliability, materials, and microelectronics engineering to contribute to an advanced AI training and semiconductor-technology evaluation project. Selected professionals will analyse semiconductor-device concepts, fabrication and integration processes, device scaling, reliability, and materials, while reviewing AI-generated technical content for accuracy and engineering quality. No prior experience in AI is required.

Key Responsibilities:

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

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.
