It pairs expert policy analysis with evidence no one else can provide: our reverse engineering, process analysis, and supply chain intelligence. As our Subject Matter Expert, Government and Compliance, you will be the expert voice behind that offering. You will track and forecast semiconductor policy across the U.S., Europe, and Asia, turn complex rules into clear guidance on what they mean for the industry, and brief the compliance, engineering, and executive leaders who rely on it. You will also help shape the product roadmap.

Maintain expert, current knowledge of export control regimes, including the EAR, ECCN classification, the Entity List, foreign direct product rules, advanced computing and semiconductor equipment controls, the EU Dual-Use Regulation, and multilateral regimes such as Wassenaar. Follow China’s policy responses, including export restrictions on critical minerals and materials, the Unreliable Entity List, and domestic self-sufficiency programs. Monitor subsidy, grant, tax credit, and incentive programs, such as the U.S. CHIPS and Science Act and the EU Chips Act, along with their award, clawback, and guardrail conditions. Follow tariffs, trade remedies, investment screening, and supply chain security measures, and how they interact with export controls and industrial policy. Forecast policy change by reading legislative calendars, rulemaking signals, political dynamics, and allied coordination, and build scenarios with expected timing and likelihood. Write rapid-response analysis, policy briefs, regular outlooks, jurisdiction comparisons, and in-depth reports. Translate regulatory text into plain-language implications for market access, revenue exposure, supply chain resilience, manufacturing and investment decisions, and product classification. Pair policy analysis with TechInsights reverse engineering, teardown, and process analysis to produce defensible, differentiated insight.
