NXP Semiconductors (21), STMicroelectronics (15), Arm Holdings (7), Synopsys (1), Cadence Design Systems (1).

Which roles count here?

Every hardware, chip design, embedded, electrical and semiconductor process role at any employer, and the engineering, science, technician and IT roles of the semiconductor companies - chip designers, fabs and foundries, equipment makers, photonics. Their sales, finance and office roles are left out.

How fresh is this?

Every role is re-checked on the employer's own careers board at least every 48 hours, and the page is rebuilt every night.
