THE LANDSCAPE
Manufacturing first, design close behind
Singapore's chip jobs are concentrated in manufacturing: Micron's NAND fabs and new HBM packaging plant, GlobalFoundries, UMC, STMicroelectronics and Infineon. VisionPower Semiconductor (VSMC), a Vanguard–NXP joint venture, is building a new 300 mm fab for production from 2027.
Design centres for Broadcom, MediaTek, Marvell, Infineon and others hire digital, analog and verification engineers. Applications and field engineers are also in demand because Singapore is the regional hub for Southeast Asia.
Work is in English, and hiring foreign engineers is normal. You'll need an Employment Pass: the minimum qualifying salary is S$5,600 a month in 2026, rising to S$6,000 for new applications from January 2027, and older applicants need more.
