Samsung Electronics is actively seeking to recruit local talent ahead of the initial operations of its Taylor, Texas, foundry by the end of this year.
According to industry sources, Samsung has recently begun accepting applications for its summer internship program at the Taylor fab for next year. This marks the first time the Taylor facility has been included in Samsung's internship offerings at major overseas locations.
The internship will last for 11 weeks, during which successful candidates will work alongside current engineers on real product and process projects.
In addition, the company is also recruiting for its new graduate hiring program, 'SEED,' aimed at training local engineers in preparation for the factory's year-end launch.
A recent report from the Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI) predicts a labor shortage of approximately 157,000 workers in the U.S. semiconductor manufacturing, design, and packaging sectors by 2030. In response, Samsung aims to proactively secure talent to stabilize its local production infrastructure.
Starting with the operation of the Taylor fab by the end of this year, Samsung plans to expand its production capacity for cutting-edge 3-nanometer and 2-nanometer processes, with construction of a second plant also set to begin within the year, targeting operations by 2030.
