SSMC operates a fully automated wafer fabrication facility in Singapore as a joint venture between NXP and TSMC, leveraging manufacturing processes transferred from both parents. The tech stack is heavily skewed toward manufacturing control systems (Siemens PLC, Rockwell FactoryTalk, SCADA) and process analytics (JMP, Minitab, Tableau, SPC), with engineering-dominant hiring focused on equipment performance, yield optimization, and fab expansion — reflecting active investments in new tool installation, preventive maintenance, and capacity scaling.
SSMC manufactures semiconductors in a fully automated cleanroom environment in Singapore, operating as a joint venture between NXP and TSMC. The company positions itself around flexible, cost-effective fabrication with 100% equipment automation and wafer processes qualified and transferred from both parent companies' established fabs. Core operations span process technology (BiCMOS, CMOS), equipment management, and manufacturing yield optimization. Current headcount ranges from 1,001 to 5,000 employees, with steady hiring concentrated in engineering roles across equipment reliability, process engineering, and fab operations.
SSMC runs Siemens PLC and Rockwell FactoryTalk for factory automation, SCADA for process control, Sentaurus for device simulation, and JMP, Minitab, and Tableau for statistical process control and yield analytics.
Active projects include fab expansion, new equipment installation and startup, preventive maintenance program implementation, process optimization for yield, automation improvements for quality and cost, and energy reduction initiatives.
