Micron Is Advertising in Seoul to Poach Samsung and SK Hynix HBM Engineers as HBM4 Capacity Sells Out Through 2026
KED Global·low signal
Micron is running job ads in Seoul explicitly aimed at Samsung and SK Hynix engineers, offering senior roles up to 300 million won (~$214,000 including bonuses) and listing 'minimum two years of HBM verification experience' as a hard requirement. The recruiting push spans the US, Mexico, Taiwan, Japan, and Singapore across DRAM design verification and HBM analog/mixed-signal roles. Context: Micron's HBM4 is ramping roughly twice as fast as HBM3E and its entire HBM capacity through end-2026 is already allocated to large customers — the constraint has moved from fab capacity to people.
