Tokyo Electron is trying to build a team of chip engineers in India to better meet Narendra Modi’s government’s push for more semiconductor production in the world’s most populous country.
Japan’s largest chip equipment maker plans to hire and train local engineers in or around 2026, with the first task being to provide engineering services to Tata Electronics Pvt, CEO Toshiki Kawai said.
Robotics will play an increasingly important role and local staff will be provided with personal and remote support from Japan, he added, declining to specify how many people the company would need to hire.
