Samsung plans to hire sales workers in California with salaries reaching $300,000. The Korean company wants to build its customer base at a new chip factory in Taylor, Texas. Samsung hired a former TSMC sales executive earlier this year to help with expansion efforts. The company aims to compete with Taiwan's TSMC for American business. Samsung needs strong sales to recover costs from its massive factory investment.
The Texas plant will make advanced 2-nanometer computer chips starting in 2026. TSMC already produces chips at its Arizona factory for Apple and other major customers. Samsung offers foundry sales directors between $200,000 and $319,800 per year. Senior managers earn from $180,950 to $289,050 at the company. These wages exceed what Samsung pays similar workers in South Korea.
Samsung remains the only major competitor to TSMC for cutting-edge chip production. Many technology companies choose TSMC because Samsung has struggled with lower manufacturing yields. The Korean firm hopes better sales teams will attract more customers to its American operations. Both companies want to bring advanced semiconductor manufacturing back to the United States. Government programs encourage foreign chipmakers to build factories on American soil.
