Micron Technology is aggressively recruiting high-bandwidth memory (HBM) design architects in South Korea. The company is targeting engineers from rival Samsung Electronics during a period of historic labor unrest.
Micron is reportedly offering compensation packages reaching KRW 300 million. These incentives aim to accelerate the company’s development in the next-generation HBM4 race.
A walkout of over 48,000 Samsung workers currently threatens global memory supply chains. Micron’s stock price increased 4.11% on May 21. The stock closed that session at $762.10. Shares declined 0.28% on May 22. The stock finished at $759.94.
