Design The Solution

Why Semiconductors? A conversation about career paths and companies that were shaped by the Semiconductor Industry. 

Technology has the potential to solve the world’s most difficult challenges. When you design semiconductors, you become the key to making that technology work. Chips provide the foundation and computing power for a wide range of emerging technologies – artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G, healthcare devices, environmental solutions, and more.

How will you help create a positive change in the world through semiconductors? Join us to learn more about the exciting opportunities that await you!
