How this role works

You join the bench. You apply with your weekly hours and start time. We set your hourly rate from your résumé, and we may name you on proposals that match this role. If we don't win, you owe nothing.
A contract is awarded. The award funds the team named in the proposal. Your engagement begins at the hourly rate we agreed on.
You work remote, paid from the contract. ~40–200 hrs per funded award — and if no award ever funds, you owe nothing and lose nothing.

What you'll do

Review our device, process and packaging descriptions for technical accuracy and realistic maturity
Tell us what a fabrication, assembly and test flow really costs in time, tooling and yield
Advise on foundry access, trusted and assured microelectronics routes, and where the parts would actually come from
Say when a technology readiness claim is ahead of the silicon behind it

Required qualifications

Direct experience in semiconductor process, device or packaging engineering in a fab, foundry or test environment
Working knowledge of wafer fabrication or advanced packaging flows, metrology and device characterization
U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (U.S. person)
Willing to be named on a federal proposal with a one-page resume, and to sign a short letter of commitment

Preferred qualifications

DoD trusted or assured microelectronics program experience
RF, photonic, power or radiation-hardened device background
Foundry, OSAT or national laboratory fabrication facility experience

Compensation & structure

1099 consulting engagement. $60–$125 per hour; we set your rate from your résumé and experience.
