Roles in Semiconductors & Hardware
3 roles
Embedded Software Engineer
You write code that runs on 'things'—drones, cars, medical devices, and robots. You work close to the metal, managing memory and processor cycles to make hardware come alive. It's high-stakes coding where efficiency fits into a microchip.
View Role
ML Engineer
You teach computers to learn. You take the experimental models from data scientists and turn them into production-ready software that scales. You live at the intersection of heavy math, big data, and software performance.
View Role
Data Analyst
You turn raw, messy data into clear insights. Companies are drowning in data but starving for wisdom—you bridge that gap. You'll use SQL to find the data, Python/R to analyze it, and Tableau/PowerBI to visualize it for stakeholders who need to know 'what do we do next?'
