How we counted: 713 open Physical Design (Physical Design) roles from 87 employers tracked in the SemiconductorJobs index, counted 11 Nov 2026. Specialty figures count only roles carrying this exact specialty label, so an employer's related work in neighbouring specialties is not included there, and is counted in the wider Physical Implementation family row. Days are counted from when our index first saw each posting, not from the employer's original posting date.
