Semicon jobs dip, niche skills in high demand
Bengaluru: Job opportunities in India's semiconductor sector have shown a 15% reduction in the 2024-25 financial year, showed a Careernet report. The research data from 50 design-focused semiconductor GCCs, studying their structural and functional characteristics. Statistics show that job vacancies peaked at 3,760 in May last year, followed by a reduction to 3,040 in Jan this year, settling at 3,181 in March. Although there is an overall reduction, specific expertise in VLSI, embedded systems, and analogue design continues to be sought after. Mid-sized captive units have demonstrated greater adaptability in hiring practices. The industry continues to require professionals predominantly in design, R&D, and manufacturing sectors, with monthly requirements surpassing 3,000 specialists in the previous year. Recruitment efforts concentrate on research and manufacturing positions. Skills in electronic design automation (EDA) tools, semiconductor process engineering, yield analysis, data engineering, and cybersecurity for embedded systems are becoming essential as AI and ML integration advances in chip design. The report indicates these competencies will be highly sought after, supported by India's engineering expertise and government-initiated semiconductor projects. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Casas de propriedade bancária à venda em São Paulo (ver preços) LocalPlan Saiba Mais Undo "The Rs 76,000 crore Semicon India programme, with its focused incentives for chip design and deployment, reflects the government's strategic commitment to building a world-class semiconductor ecosystem. At the same time, initiatives like the Chips to Startup programme, SMART Labs, and AICTE's updated VLSI curriculum are laying the groundwork for a deep and future-ready talent pipeline. These measures are not just interventions but foundational pillars supporting India's transition from a service-driven market to a product- and R&D-led semiconductor powerhouse. While the talent demand-supply gap poses near-term challenges, the long-term trajectory is strong, particularly as mid-sized GCCs emerge as agile engines of growth and innovation," said Neelabh Shukla, CBO at Careernet. Whilst smaller firms experienced downward trends in the March quarter of 2024-25, medium and large-scale firms demonstrated positive growth, with enhanced professional recruitment during Q3 and Q4 compared to the initial half-year period.

Geopolitical headwinds lead to 15% dip in semiconductor design GCC job openings in FY25: Report
India's semiconductor design Global Capability Centers (GCCs) experienced a nearly 15% year-on-year decline in job openings during the financial year 2024-25, largely due to ongoing geopolitical uncertainties and global supply chain disruptions, according to a report by talent solutions provider Careernet. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The report highlights that open positions in the sector peaked in May 2024 at 3,760 but steadily declined to 3,040 by January 2025, closing the fiscal year at 3,181 job openings in March 2025. This indicates a measured slowdown in hiring across India's top 50 semiconductor design GCCs, PTI reported. Despite the moderation in overall hiring activity, demand for specialised skills in areas such as Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI), embedded systems, and RF/analogue design remained stable. The report noted that mid-sized GCCs demonstrated comparatively higher hiring agility in these niche segments. Semiconductor design, by nature, involves lower headcount compared to other technology domains. As such, shifts in hiring sentiment from just a few major industry players can significantly impact the broader job market in this area. 'The semiconductor design GCCs in India have experienced a relatively sluggish trend in new job openings over the past few quarters. This cautious hiring environment is largely driven by ongoing geopolitical uncertainties, global supply chain disruptions, and volatility in valuations within key technology areas, such as artificial intelligence and advanced computing,' said Neelabh Shukla, Chief Business Officer at Careernet. The analysis is based on hiring patterns across the top 50 semiconductor design GCCs in India during FY24 and FY25. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The report also pointed out that the intellectual property (IP) design sub-sector — which focuses on developing specialised chip components and reusable design blocks — continued to show strong demand, maintaining a significant number of open roles. 'Despite these short-term fluctuations, we remain optimistic about the medium to long-term outlook. Increased global focus on semiconductor supply chain resilience, combined with strategic Indian government initiatives to boost domestic semiconductor manufacturing and design capabilities in India, is expected to catalyse a more robust growth trajectory for semiconductor design jobs in the coming years,' Shukla added.
