SK Hynix Implements New Concept of Overseas Work Including ASML

Work Program 'GXP' Selected by Employees in Desired Locations to Launch End of Next Month
Includes Options for Overseas Subsidiaries in the US, China, and Partners like ASML and Lam Research

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Pyeonghwa] SK Hynix is implementing an internal program for employees working at its overseas subsidiaries as well as at partner companies such as ASML in the Netherlands and Lam Research in the United States. This is a new concept of overseas work where employees can choose their preferred overseas location and perform both their existing duties and local tasks simultaneously.

According to the semiconductor industry on the 13th, SK Hynix will launch the Global Experience Program (GXP) at its overseas business sites for five weeks starting at the end of next month. Employees select their desired overseas work location and divide their workday between their existing domestic duties and new tasks locally. The program aims to provide opportunities to gain experience through collaboration in various locations.

Employees can participate in the program at SK Hynix’s overseas subsidiaries in the United States, China, Japan, Germany, as well as at partner companies affiliated with SK Hynix such as ASML in the Netherlands, Lam Research in the United States, and Tokyo Electron in Japan. Notably, ASML is the sole manufacturer supplying extreme ultraviolet (EUV) equipment essential for advanced semiconductor processes.

The specific scale of the program will be determined based on the number of applicants. The company plans to support participants with airfare, accommodation, rental cars, and other expenses according to the overseas work location.

An SK Hynix official stated, "The ratio between local and existing work in the GXP may vary from a 5 to 5 split," adding, "ASML is a clear collaborative partner and a recipient of our equipment, making it an ideal place for employees to gain experience and communicate our needs."
