有不少精明的半導(dǎo)體業(yè)者積極尋求具經(jīng)驗(yàn)的日本專業(yè)工程師人才，晶圓代工新秀GlobalFoundries也是其中之一，而且該公司正密切關(guān)注從瑞薩(Renesas)出走的人員。 景況不佳的瑞薩繼去年秋天針對(duì)總數(shù)為7,446人的40歲以上員工提出提早退休計(jì)劃后，又在上個(gè)月宣布將進(jìn)一步裁員3,000人；通常人們會(huì)認(rèn)為，那些丟飯碗的成千上萬(wàn)瑞薩員工恐怕無(wú)法再找到下一個(gè)全職工作，盡管他們是將一生奉獻(xiàn)給公司──而且那是發(fā)生在日本。 不過(guò)可能有數(shù)百位經(jīng)驗(yàn)老到的提早退休瑞薩工程師，有機(jī)會(huì)前往日本以外的芯片廠商開(kāi)啟事業(yè)第二春──根據(jù)日本當(dāng)?shù)貥I(yè)界傳言，GlobalFoundries正鎖定這些人才。 GlobalFoundries 位于美國(guó)紐約州Saratoga的新廠甫于 2月8日動(dòng)土，該公司在紐約州當(dāng)?shù)毓陀玫娜肆σ呀?jīng)超過(guò)2,000人，并預(yù)計(jì)在2014年底增加至3,000人；GlobalFoundries紐約州據(jù)點(diǎn)的人力配置，有九成是技術(shù)與營(yíng)運(yùn)職位。 在被問(wèn)到是否有雇用日本籍工程師的計(jì)劃時(shí)，GlobalFoundries發(fā)言人表示：“我們確實(shí)雇用了一些具經(jīng)驗(yàn)的日本專業(yè)人才，但我們無(wú)法提供詳細(xì)數(shù)字或是所占員工數(shù)比例?！? 而根據(jù)一位日本產(chǎn)業(yè)界匿名消息人士指出，GlobalFoundries的日本辦公室已經(jīng)聘雇了35名日本工程師，這些工程師已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好成為前往該公司美國(guó)紐約州據(jù)點(diǎn)任職的先遣部隊(duì)，未來(lái)還會(huì)有100~200名工程師陸續(xù)前往。 盡管目前并沒(méi)有官方統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)字，但據(jù)了解已經(jīng)有許多日本半導(dǎo)體工程師離開(kāi)前東家，前往位于韓國(guó)、臺(tái)灣或中國(guó)的非日商企業(yè)任職；而這些日本工程師的半導(dǎo)體制程專業(yè)技能都是在原本任職的日本公司學(xué)到的。 于是GlobalFoundries 的紐約州Fab 8晶圓廠計(jì)劃如今看來(lái)時(shí)機(jī)正好，雖然該公司一開(kāi)始根本沒(méi)想到可以借重前瑞薩工程師的專業(yè)能力。 本文授權(quán)編譯自EE Times，版權(quán)所有，謝絕轉(zhuǎn)載 本文下一頁(yè)：瑞薩員工自己唱衰公司前景

{pagination} Yoshida in Japan: Renesas' cuts are GloFo's gain Junko Yoshida GlobalFoundries turns out to be one of several astute companies aggressively pursuing skilled Japanese engineering professionals. They’re keeping a close eye on the Renesas exodus. Word of layoffs is depressing and heart-wrenching, especially so when it takes place on the massive scale that hit workers at Renesas Electronics. Last fall, close to 7,500 employees (7,446 to be exact) --aged 40 and above–took the early retirement package. The ailing Japanese chipmaker last month announced further cuts, with plans to eliminate another 3,000 jobs. Conventional wisdom dictates that many of those thousands of people may not be able to find another full-time job ever again, despite their lifetime dedication to the company. Think again. The key word missing in the sentence above is, “in Japan.” At least hundreds, if not thousands, of skilled semiconductor engineers who are retiring early from Renesas will end up working for chip companies outside Japan. As word on the street in Tokyo goes, GlobalFoundries turns out to be one of several astute companies aggressively pursuing skilled Japanese engineering professionals. They’re keeping a close eye on the Renesas exodus. Since breaking ground on Fab 8 in Saratoga, NY., GlobalFoundries has hired just over 2,000 people in New York state. The company expects that to increase to about 3,000 by the end of 2014. About 90 percent of the company’s New York workforce is composed of people in technical and operations roles. Asked about hiring Japanese engineers, a company spokesman noted, “We definitely hired some skilled professionals from Japan, but I can’t provide details of numbers or percentages.” Thirty-five Japanese engineers have already been hired by GlobalFoundries’ regional office in Japan, according to an industry source based in Tokyo, who spoke on condition of anonymity. These engineers are getting prepped to be sent to New York as an initial batch, with as many as another 100 to 200 to follow, the source said. Renesas employee's expectations No official data has been released about how many Japanese semiconductor engineers have already left their employers and are currently working at non-Japanese companies in South Korea, Taiwan or in China. Some suspect that there are many. These are Japanese engineers who cut their teeth and honed their skills in semiconductor manufacturing processes at their Japanese employers. GlobalFoundries’ Fab 8 initiative is looking particularly timely today, even though counting on ex-Renesas engineers probably wasn’t the foundry’s original intention. Meanwhile, Renesas employees’ expectations for the company and its management have sunk to all-time low. More than 7,511 employees last September applied to the early retirement program, for which Renesas had originally expected around 5,000 applicants. The unexpectedly high number was widely reported in Japan then as an early warning sign of an exodus at Renesas. According to a survey about the company’s future, conducted by Renesas’ "unofficial" group consisting of the company's current and former employees, 46 percent of the group responded: “Renesas will collapse within the next few years.” Thirty-two percent said, “Renesas will gradually deteriorate.” Those who predicted a slow recovery of the company was limited to 6 percent. When asked what is most needed for Renesas’ recovery, the answer that got the most responses – 39 percent – was: “Better management.” However, the survey sample had only 75 responses, according to a Renesas spokesman.
