[Asia Economy Reporter Park Sun-mi] Samsung Electronics is recruiting experienced semiconductor professionals after surpassing Intel to claim the top spot in global semiconductor sales. Samsung Electronics has decided to provide employees in the Device Solutions (DS) division, especially those in the Memory Business Unit, with incentives amounting to 300% of their monthly base salary, signaling an expected talent war in the industry.

On the 27th, Samsung Electronics announced on its website that it has begun hiring experienced professionals for the DS division. The application period runs until the 17th of next month. Recruitment targets include fields such as semiconductor PA (Process Architecture), semiconductor process development, evaluation and analysis, material development, CAE simulation, package development, mechanical development, and semiconductor equipment technology. Candidates with a bachelor's degree must have at least 4 years of experience (2 years for master's degree holders), and those with a doctoral degree are preferred. After document screening and interviews, final successful candidates will be announced in April.

Last year, Samsung Electronics' most profitable business was undoubtedly semiconductors. The operating profit from the semiconductor division exceeded 29 trillion won, accounting for 60% of the company's total annual operating profit. Samsung reclaimed the global semiconductor sales top position from its competitor, the U.S.-based Intel, after three years. The sustained demand for memory driven by the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, the spread of non-face-to-face culture, and advancements in new technologies such as the Fourth Industrial Revolution contributed to these results.

Meanwhile, on the previous day, Samsung Electronics announced that it will provide an additional incentive of 300% of the base salary to employees in the Memory Business Unit who contributed to achieving the number one semiconductor sales position within the DS division. Incentives will be distributed differentially according to each semiconductor business department.
