Embedded control semiconductors for industrial, automotive, and aerospace
Microchip designs and manufactures embedded control chips—microcontrollers, signal processors, memory, and wireless modules—for over 125,000 customers across industrial, automotive, aerospace, and defense sectors. The engineering-heavy hiring profile (515 open roles, with 93 principals and 335 senior engineers) reflects active silicon design and verification work; concurrent adoption of RISC-V, UVM, and Azure OpenAI alongside legacy Cadence/Synopsys tools signals a shift toward open ISAs and AI-assisted design flows. Manufacturing and supply-chain headcount mirrors near-term focus on yield, test-cost reduction, and on-time delivery.
Notable leadership hires: DFT Lead, SOC Lead
