Mythic is looking for a Senior Recruiter with deep, hands-on experience hiring for the semiconductor industry to own full-cycle recruiting for some of our most technical and highest-impact roles. You'll partner directly with hiring managers, engineering leaders, and executives to build hiring strategy for hard-to-fill positions across chip design, process engineering, and silicon validation — and you'll bring the industry fluency and network needed to find and close candidates other recruiters can't reach.

What you'll do

  • Own full-cycle recruiting for technical and leadership roles across the semiconductor org, including RTL/design engineers, process integration engineers, device physicists, packaging engineers, test and validation engineers, and technical program managers.

  • Act as a strategic partner to hiring managers and senior leaders, advising on market conditions, compensation benchmarking, org design, and hiring strategy rather than just sourcing against a req.

  • Build and maintain a strong personal network and talent pipeline across semiconductor companies, fabs, and adjacent industries (EDA, foundry, equipment, materials).

  • Lead sourcing strategy for niche and passive candidates, using deep knowledge of semiconductor sub-disciplines (analog/mixed-signal, digital design, DFT, CMOS process, packaging, yield/reliability) to identify qualified talent.

  • Manage a high volume of concurrent searches, including confidential and executive-level searches, with minimal oversight.

  • Drive an excellent candidate experience from first contact through offer and close, including offer strategy and negotiation.

  • Serve as a subject matter expert internally on semiconductor talent markets, compensation trends, and competitor landscape.

  • Mentor and support junior recruiters and coordinators; contribute to TA process improvement, tooling, and employer branding initiatives.

  • Partner with HR and compensation teams to structure competitive, equitable offers in a highly competitive talent market.

What you'll bring

  • 5-8 years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with a significant, demonstrated focus on the semiconductor industry.

  • Proven track record recruiting for technical semiconductor roles (e.g., design, process/integration, product/test engineering, packaging, CAD/EDA, or manufacturing).

  • Strong existing network of semiconductor talent and fluency in industry-specific technical terminology, org structures, and career paths.

  • Experience partnering with senior technical leaders (Director+) on hiring strategy, headcount planning, and org design.

  • Track record of closing passive, competitive candidates in a tight talent market.

  • Deep knowledge of compensation structures and equity/leveling practices common in semiconductor and broader hardware/tech companies.

  • Excellent stakeholder management, communication, and negotiation skills.

  • Experience with applicant tracking systems (e.g., Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby) and sourcing tools (LinkedIn Recruiter, etc.).

  • Ability to manage a high-volume, high-complexity req load independently.
