SK Hynix recently posted a recruitment announcement for '2025 SK Hynix new maintenance and operator' on its hiring website. The deadline is January 6, 2025.
Among the full-time positions, maintenance roles involve equipment maintenance and line operations related to semiconductor manufacturing, while operators perform quality-related testing and defect inspection. The recruitment numbers for maintenance and operator positions are in the hundreds and double digits, respectively, with work locations in Icheon and Cheongju.
In this announcement, applicants will undergo the written examination called the SKCT (SK Competency Test) and an interview. Successful candidates will be allowed to choose their start dates between late February (Fast Track) and late March (Regular Recruitment) of next year.
SK Hynix's move to recruit such a large number of personnel is analyzed to aim for a competitive edge in advanced memory semiconductor technology amid intensifying competition. Previously, SK Hynix conducted simultaneous recruitment for 'new graduate hiring' aimed at those graduating in February 2025 and those who have already graduated in September, as well as a 'Junior Talent' program targeting candidates with 2 to 4 years of experience.
