Compensation & Workforce Planning Analyst (Engineering)

Project

Work done for a product or program.

• Model salary structures, bonus targets, and RSU ranges by level band and geography across US, Taiwan, India, Israel, and EU design centres.
• Build the annual and rolling headcount plan by discipline, mapping roadmap tapeout demand to requisition timing and ramp assumptions.
• Run merit, promotion, and equity refresh cycles for engineering populations, modelling budget scenarios and distribution guardrails.
• Analyse attrition and regretted-loss data by discipline to identify where pay position is driving exits versus management or workload factors.
• Design retention vehicles for tapeout-critical staff, including milestone bonuses and off-cycle equity grants tied to programme completion.
• Maintain job architecture and levelling guidelines for silicon roles so titles, scope, and pay remain internally consistent across sites.
• Model the compensation impact of new site openings, including CHIPS-funded US fab ramps and geographic differentials.

Function

Work that keeps the discipline running: methods, tools, suppliers and people.

• Benchmark engineering roles against Radford, Mercer, and WTW semiconductor peer cuts, maintaining premium differentials for scarce disciplines such as analog, RF, and DTCO.
• Cost contractor versus permanent versus design-services outsourcing options for capacity decisions with Engineering and Finance.
• Provide compensation and headcount data for board, audit, and pay-equity reporting including EU Pay Transparency Directive requirements.
