RK Logistics Groups' SEACSS™ Team Helps Boost Silicon Valley Semiconductor Clients' Engineer Retention to Over 90%

RK's Semiconductor Engineering and Campus Support Services (SEACSS™) program boosts engineer productivity/job satisfaction, engineer retention, reducing costs.

SILICON VALLEY, CA, UNITED STATES, October 20, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- RK Logistics Group, a leading provider of Semiconductor Engineering and Campus Support Services (SEACSS™) with over 40 years of proven experience in semiconductor logistics and Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) expertise, today announced record-breaking results from its in-house SEACSS™ team, with RK’s clients achieving engineer retention rates exceeding 90%, a remarkable 10.2% increase from the previous fiscal year, dramatically outperforming Silicon Valley industry benchmarks.

“This achievement contrasts sharply with the broader semiconductor sector's engineer retention challenges,” says Joe MacLean, Chairman and CEO of RK Logistics Group. “RK's SEACSS™ team streamlines engineers' work, allowing them to focus on high-level innovation tasks, while RK handles their low-value busywork tasks and other operational complexities, all at a lower cost and greater efficiency than their internal operations. So we actually enable our semiconductor clients to redirect resources more exclusively toward innovation and growth, which results in total operational cost reductions of 25-35% for our semiconductor clients, typically within the first year.”

INDUSTRY CONTEXT: THE SILICON VALLEY ENGINEER RETENTION CRISIS
According to comprehensive industry analysis, the technology sector faces a concerning 23% average software engineer turnover rate.[1] Each departing engineer costs organizations 1.5–2 times their annual salary in replacement, onboarding, lost productivity, and knowledge transfer requirements.[2] For organizations with significant engineering teams, poor engineer employee retention can represent millions of dollars in annual costs and substantially impact project timelines and product development capabilities.
