India · Semiconductor only
Semiconductor jobs in India, opened at the source and linked back to it.
RTL design and verification, DFT, physical design, analog, process, packaging and embedded silicon. Every listing is entered by hand from the employer’s own careers page or ATS, links back to the employer’s own posting, and is filterable by the skills the role actually needs.
Read by Rishi — 15+ years in VLSI: Synopsys VIP R&D, SoC verification at Google, UCIe Consortium. A JD that wants twenty years of FPGA at entry level, or a DV role filed under RTL design, does not get on the board.
Where each listing came from
Every one was opened by hand on the employer's own careers page or ATS before it published, and links back to that posting. Nothing here is scraped from LinkedIn, Naukri or Indeed.
Pay, stated plainly
Where the employer publishes a range we show it, free. Where they don't, we say so — and name them. Today that is every listing on the board: Indian postings almost never carry a number, because disclosure follows pay-transparency law and India has none.
Chip skills, not keywords
Filter by UVM, ATPG, STA, UPF, litho — the taxonomy the industry runs on. Search “verification” on a general board and you get QA testers.
Latest roles
The board opens with its first roles shortly.
Ten hand-checked semiconductor listings are being loaded. Leave an email and you will be on the first one that goes out.
Job-alert signup is paused while we add email confirmation. No email address entered here is collected or stored.
Finding the job was never the hard part
Chip engineers find openings fine. What they cannot find out is whether the opening is real, and who is on the other end of the apply button.
You cannot tell if the role is still open
Requisitions filled months ago stay live to collect resumes, and reposts look new. Greenhouse's own platform data puts 18–22% of postings in any quarter at roles nobody is trying to fill. From the posting itself there is no way to tell, so you write the cover letter anyway.
You apply, and it lands nowhere
One requisition gets shopped by several staffing firms at once — on the incumbent niche board, a single embedded verification role appeared seven times on page one from six vendors, with the employer concealed. You apply to a middleman and never learn whose team it was.
General boards cannot read chip skills
Search “verification” on a general board and you get QA testers. “Layout” returns UI designers. UVM, ATPG, STA, UPF, EUV — the vocabulary the industry runs on is invisible to a platform built for every job in the economy.
How ChipJobs is different
We are not trying to have more listings than LinkedIn. We are trying to make every listing worth opening — and to leave the parts we have not built yet visibly unbuilt.
| Factor | ChipJobs | Naukri / Indeed | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scope | Semiconductor and directly adjacent only — VLSI, EDA, embedded, automotive silicon, packaging. Twelve role families, enforced in code. Nothing else is admitted to the board. | Every industry. | Every industry. |
| Is the role still open? | Every listing was opened by hand on the employer's own careers page or ATS before it published — the first ten on 13 August 2026. Nothing re-checks them automatically yet, and this sentence changes the day that ships. | A posting stays live until the employer removes it. | Same, and reposting an old requisition costs nothing. |
| Where the apply link goes | Straight to the employer's own posting, in a new tab, with the company named. No form we own, no account, no login before you can read the role. All ten listings today came from an employer's careers page or ATS — none from an agency. | Employer postings and staffing-firm reposts of the same requisition sit side by side, undistinguished. | Consultant postings are flagged and a consultancy may name the client it is hiring for. Many do not. |
| Chip skill taxonomy | Filters built on the taxonomy the industry actually uses: RTL, SystemVerilog, UVM, DFT/ATPG, place-and-route, STA, analog, litho, packaging. Every skill filter is a canonical name from a closed list, and the skill links on this page fail the build if one is not. | Keyword match. Search “verification” and you get QA testers. | Keyword match, inside general engineering categories. |
| Salary transparency | Where the employer publishes a range it is on the card, free, with no paywall and no estimate dressed up as a number. Where they don't, the listing says so and the company page prints how many of that employer's live roles disclose. Today that is all ten — an analysis of 2,347 postings found zero disclosed salaries across 263 India listings from 77 multinationals, because disclosure follows pay-transparency law and India has none. | Estimated ranges, behind a paywall. | Usually “not disclosed”. |
| Who reads the posting | An engineer with 15+ years in VLSI opens every posting before it goes live. A JD wanting twenty years of FPGA at entry level, a DV role filed under RTL design, and an apply link that lands on a generic careers homepage are three judgements a general board is not built to make. | Anyone with a card can post. | Anyone with a card can post. |
| Resume database | None. We are new. If you need volume today, we are not it yet — what we have is high-intent and chip-only. | Huge, and noisy. | Large, general-purpose. |
Checking is manual today — a small board and one engineer opening every posting on the employer’s own site. Automatic daily re-checking is not built. When it is, the check date on each listing is how you will know it ran.
What ChipJobs does not do
- No AI matching. Keyword search and filters, on Postgres. A matching model trained on zero placements is a guess with extra steps — it ships when we have real hiring outcomes to train on.
- No resume database yet. If you are a recruiter who needs a large searchable candidate pool this month, we are not the tool. That comes later, and small.
- No scraped listings. Nothing here is lifted from LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor or Naukri. Listings come from employers, their public career pages and their ATS — and each one links back to the original.
Browse by what you actually do
The taxonomy covers semiconductors and the work directly adjacent to it — EDA, embedded, automotive silicon, packaging. Nothing else. Each heading is a discipline filter and each chip below it is a single skill; the ones a live listing actually carries are links, and the rest are here to show you where the boundary is.
For employers
Your posting is read by chip engineers, not by everyone. Applications arrive from people who know what a UPF file is, which is the whole point of a vertical board. In exchange we ask for a live link to your own careers page, and for the salary range if you publish one.

From Month 6
Nothing is billable today. The free tier exists to get the first roles on the board and it has a hard expiry — it closes at the end of Month 1. Companies that list during that window keep launch pricing; new companies pay from Month 2. Employer branding (₹5,000–10,000/month) and resume-database seats (₹3,000–5,000/seat/month) open at Month 4.
