On 13 April 2024, Tata Electronics is planning to hold a roadshow in Hsinchu, a county in Taiwan. The Group is establishing a plant in India to manufacture semiconductors and chips, for which it is seeking quality talent from Taiwan. Given the fact that Taiwan’s supplies meet the demand for chips and semiconductors for over half of the world, finding talent from there should not be difficult.
As per a Moneycontrol report, the Tata Group is looking for Taiwanese professionals— including equipment engineers, yield engineers and automation engineers—with at least five years of experience. Candidates with up to 16 years of working experience in various roles in this field will also be picked up. Tata Electronics will also be hiring electric and mechanical troubleshooters, for which technicians with diplomas will also be considered.
After training for 18 months in Taiwan, the selected candidates from the country would be expected to move to India, where Tata Electronics has already started work on setting up a Rs 91,000-crore semiconductor manufacturing plant in Dholera, Gujarat. This plant will be a source of livelihood for thousands, with about 20,000 workers likely to be employed directly and indirectly. A greenfield semiconductor assembling and testing plant is also being set up in Jagiroad, Assam, at a cost of about Rs 27,000 crore.
It is pertinent to mention here that Hsinchu is a county known for the large number of plants manufacturing chips and semiconductors. Some of the known names in the field are, Epista, United Microelectronics Corporation, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company and Powerchip Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation (PSMC).
