Anyone in here transition from the semiconductor industry to climate policy/sustainability? I’ve been an apps engineer developing customer recipes for high vacuum tools like SEM & FIB-SEM. Having trouble breaking into a climate policy role. I have a BS & MS in geology + 6 years in my current industry.

That is, at the moment in the US, an unlikely transition. Opportunities will pick up over time as more outrage from the effects of climate change shows up in the form of outright bans on polluting materials … forcing a shift towards more sustainable technologies.

I heard some advice about role shifting. 1) switch industries but in a similar role. 2) switch roles within the same industry. It’s harder to do both at once, so consider a two step approach. Within your industry, add policy to the mix. Also, you could consider that semiconductors, especially power semiconductors are unlocking many of the advancements in our climate progress. Do your skills translate into driving progress in applications ?
