Texas Semiconductor Recruiting
Texas Semiconductor Recruiter
Semiconductor and industrial recruiting across Texas for MES, factory systems, automation, ATE test, manufacturing, and technical leadership roles.
Texas Semiconductor Hiring
Texas is the nation's top semiconductor exporter and home to major fab, OEM, and industrial operations across Austin, Houston, Dallas, and the Central Texas corridor.
Texas is the nation's top semiconductor exporter, driven by major fab, chipmaker, equipment, and semiconductor-adjacent operations across the state. Each Texas market draws from a different talent pool: Austin for semiconductor and software, Houston for energy and industrial systems, Dallas for enterprise technology and manufacturing. New Iron has recruited across all three since 2003.

Technical Leadership
Engineering managers, program managers, project managers, and technical directors for semiconductor and industrial teams scaling operations or standing up new capabilities.
How We Screen for Texas Markets
Each Texas market has its own talent pool and environment. We calibrate on the specific context before we source.
Market-specific calibration
Austin, Houston, and Dallas each draw from different candidate pools. We align sourcing strategy to the right geography and talent concentration for each role.
Fit over keyword match
We calibrate on environment, must-haves versus nice-to-haves, candidate constraints, and motivation rather than title match and years of experience.
Deep Texas network
After 23 years of recruiting across Texas, our relationships span Austin-area fabs, Houston industrial operations, and Dallas enterprise and manufacturing environments.
