According to reports, South Korean chip manufacturer Samsung Electronics Co. is intensifying its initiatives to attract talent in India, a nation becoming a vital center for semiconductor design skills.

As per the report, Samsung Semiconductor India Research (SSIR) at Samsung Electronics has announced recruitment for various research and development (R&D) engineers within the company's principal semiconductor sectors - System LSI, memory, and foundry.

This action is viewed as a component of Samsung's wider international strategy to enhance its semiconductor design skills and leadership in the age of artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC).

SSIR job listings indicate that the firm is hiring for 16 roles, which include system-on-chip (SoC) design engineers, memory design engineers, SSD firmware engineers, and graphics driver developers.

According to reports, many of these positions are closely linked to essential next-generation technologies like system semiconductor integration, memory design, firmware development, and AI computation optimization.

Samsung intends to develop SSIR from a mere research support center into a key global design hub for AI semiconductors, according to reports.

The firm recently named Rajesh Krishnan, a seasoned local professional in the memory industry, as the new leader of SSIR, indicating a transition to a locally-driven R&D approach.

Situated in Bengaluru, SSIR serves as a key global semiconductor research center for Samsung, covering all three core areas of the company's Device Solutions (DS) division: memory, System LSI, and foundry technologies.
