Electronics companies at Hsinchu Science Park will recruit 10,000 new employees to meet recovering global demand for high-tech products, the science park administration said yesterday.
The science park, which houses many Taiwanese heavyweights, such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC, 台積電) and United Microelectronics Corp (UMC, 聯電) — the world’s two largest contract chipmakers — has scheduled a job fair on July 10 to recruit potential hires.
A total of 48 high-tech firms from the science park will meet jobseekers at the exhibition, the science park administration said.
“Many high-tech companies in the science park are eager to hire new people. Apart from the planned exhibition, they are also recruiting employees on campuses,” a park administration spokesman said.
In March, the park administration held its first recruitment exhibition of this year, in which 38 high-tech firms had 4,700 jobs available.
PRODUCT DEMAND
“The scale of the July recruitment is larger than that of the March one, which is evidence that global demand for high-tech products is increasing significantly,” the spokesman said.
He said that currently, the number of employees hired by the firms in the science park is at a record high of 137,000.
Among the firms at the upcoming exhibition, TSMC will be trying to recruit 4,750 new employees and UMC will be looking for 600 newcomers, while flat-panel makers AU Optronics Corp (AUO, 友達) and Chimei Innolux Corp (奇美電子) will be seeking to hire 350 and 1,000 people, respectively, the park administration said.
Lextar Electronics Corp (隆達電子), an LED manufacturing arm of AUO, will also be offering 610 jobs, it said.
Integrated circuit packaging service provider Siliconware Precision Industries Co (矽品精密), memory chip maker Powerchip Technology Corp (力晶科技), ROM product supplier Macronix International Co (旺宏電子) and LED firm Opto Tech Corp (光磊科技) will also take part in the exhibition.
As a result of the global financial meltdown, about 20,000 employees of high-tech companies in the science park were put on unpaid leave early last year.
Quanta Computer Inc (廣達) chairman Barry Lam (林百里) is expected to share his views about the artificial intelligence (AI) industry’s prospects during his speech at the company’s 37th anniversary ceremony, as AI servers have become a new growth engine for the equipment manufacturing service provider. Lam’s speech is much anticipated, as Quanta has risen as one of the world’s major AI server suppliers. The company reported a 30 percent year-on-year growth in consolidated revenue to NT$1.41 trillion (US$43.35 billion) last year, thanks to fast-growing demand for servers, especially those with AI capabilities. The company told investors in November last year that
Taiwanese suppliers to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC, 台積電) are expected to follow the contract chipmaker’s step to invest in the US, but their relocation may be seven to eight years away, Minister of Economic Affairs J.W. Kuo (郭智輝) said yesterday. When asked by opposition Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislator Niu Hsu-ting (牛煦庭) in the legislature about growing concerns that TSMC’s huge investments in the US will prompt its suppliers to follow suit, Kuo said based on the chipmaker’s current limited production volume, it is unlikely to lead its supply chain to go there for now. “Unless TSMC completes its planned six
Intel Corp has named Tasha Chuang (莊蓓瑜) to lead Intel Taiwan in a bid to reinforce relations between the company and its Taiwanese partners. The appointment of Chuang as general manager for Intel Taiwan takes effect on Thursday, the firm said in a statement yesterday. Chuang is to lead her team in Taiwan to pursue product development and sales growth in an effort to reinforce the company’s ties with its partners and clients, Intel said. Chuang was previously in charge of managing Intel’s ties with leading Taiwanese PC brand Asustek Computer Inc (華碩), which included helping Asustek strengthen its global businesses, the company
Power supply and electronic components maker Delta Electronics Inc (台達電) yesterday said second-quarter revenue is expected to surpass the first quarter, which rose 30 percent year-on-year to NT$118.92 billion (US$3.71 billion). Revenue this quarter is likely to grow, as US clients have front-loaded orders ahead of US President Donald Trump’s planned tariffs on Taiwanese goods, Delta chairman Ping Cheng (鄭平) said at an earnings conference in Taipei, referring to the 90-day pause in tariff implementation Trump announced on April 9. While situations in the third and fourth quarters remain unclear, “We will not halt our long-term deployments and do not plan to
