Chip lifecycle
Learn how a chip gets made, stage by stage
Follow a chip from planning and concept to end of life. Every lifecycle on the Hub is placed in 11 generic phases, and each stage sets out the work, the disciplines involved, the gates that check it and the work products handed over.

The industry operating system for the global semiconductor value chain
One place to find the companies, roles, news, research and people that make chips, from design and IP to manufacturing, packaging and test. Today that knowledge is scattered across vendor sites, job boards, feeds and private networks. The Hub brings it together, sourced and kept current.
Why it matters
A fragmented industry loses time finding itself. The Hub removes that cost.

Stay current without the noise
Sourced, cited news and research written or vetted by an editorial team, with every claim linked to where it came from.
Learn, connect and build a career

Become a founding company
There are 25 founding places. They are numbered and never reissued once full. Here is how a company gets one.
1
List your company
Submit your profile for the directory. You do not need an account. We review it, then publish it as unclaimed.
Add your company →2
Claim it
Verify your work email on the published profile to get edit rights. That is what makes it really yours.
Track & claim →3
Get considered
Founding badges go to the platform's earliest and most active companies. See the perks and who is in so far.
See the perks →Looking for your first role?
Two routes were built for people with no track record yet, so you are not cold-applying into a pile of hundreds.
Talent Wafer
Apply once to a scheduled cohort instead of applying to roles one by one. Every employer in that run reviews accepted candidates at the same time.
- Free to apply, always
- Anonymous by default. You stay "Candidate #…" until you accept a specific employer's interest
- Internship and new-grad tracks included

Founding companies
The first companies to join the Hub's employer base, verified from day one. Worth watching before their roles get crowded.
- Verified, active employers, not a cold-outreach list
- Often the first to post real openings as they build here
- Follow them before the crowd does
