Position Overview We're hiring an Engineering Analyst - AI Economics
to bridge deep technical analysis with economic modeling. This role is ideal for candidates who think like engineers but are motivated by understanding second-order economic effects rather than shipping end-user software.
You'll analyze how architectural choices in models and systems translate into costs, margins, and scalability limits across the AI ecosystem.
This is a Full time role based in the United States.
What You'll Do
- Analyze AI model architectures, inference systems, and hardware platforms through an economic lens.
- Build analytical models connecting system-level performance metrics to cost and ROI.
- Research emerging techniques in efficiency, compression, and inference optimization.
- Evaluate AI vendors and platforms based on engineering and economic fundamentals.
- Support long-range forecasts of AI demand, cost curves, and infrastructure investment.
What We're Looking For
- Technical background in ML/AI, CS, or engineering.
- Strong analytical and quantitative reasoning skills.
- Interest in AI economics, infrastructure, and capital allocation.
- Comfortable working with ambiguity in a fast-moving field.
- Full-time role based in the United States.
Why SemiAnalysis?
- At SemiAnalysis, you're placed directly inside the most important conversations shaping the future of AI and semiconductors. You'll develop a first-principles understanding of the technical and economic dynamics behind the world's most consequential technology, with rare end-to-end visibility across the entire stack-from silicon and systems to models, software, and real-world deployment. Our work is read and relied upon by the people allocating capital, building infrastructure, and setting strategy across the industry, giving your research and analysis real, measurable impact.
- The environment is built for learning and autonomy. You'll have the freedom to chase interesting ideas, dig into emerging trends early, and continuously expand your technical and economic toolkit, supported by generous PTO, office stipends, competitive healthcare (medical, dental, vision), and support for conferences and ongoing learning.
