India evolves into a hub for semiconductor manufacturing, the industry is expected to generate 1 million jobs in various sectors by 2026. This requirement is expected to emerge across various industries, including an estimated 300,000 jobs in semiconductor chip production, around 200,000 positions in ATMP (Assembly, Testing, Marking, and Packaging), in addition to further prospects in chip design, software engineering, system circuits, and manufacturing supply chain management, as stated in a report from talent solutions company NLB Services.

Moreover, the report indicated that there will be a need for a skilled labor force, comprising engineers, operators, technicians, and experts in quality control, procurement, and materials engineering, highlighting India's plan to establish a strong semiconductor talent pipeline by 2026, it noted.

Alongside government support for the semiconductor sector, numerous private firms have expressed plans to invest in establishing new semiconductor assembly and testing plants in India, according to the analysis of internal data and industry reports mentioned in the report.

This move, it stated, is poised to initiate a substantial transformation in India's semiconductor industry, generating numerous high-tech and construction employment opportunities simultaneously. Several important roles in the semiconductor sector include Process Integration Engineer, Semiconductor Wafer Inspector, Technical Specialist, Preventative Maintenance (PM) Technician, Design Engineer, Process Engineer, and Quality Control Specialist, among others.
