Talent 101’s Testing as a Service (TaaS) is an outsourcing model in which testing activities are performed by Talent 101 staff rather than our customer’s employees. Our Testing as a Service (TaaS) will maximize productivity customer’s testing process, production, and work in progress (WIP). Building vs. buying a Test Technician team is a question growing organizations face. Testing as a Service (TaaS) outsourcing initiatives are providing new alternatives.
Our customers develop complex semiconductor integrated circuit packages that require thorough testing by subjecting these packages to harsh environmental factors.
Our customers define all test parameters. Talent 101 leads the adaptable staffing and resource alignment strategy. Our customers drive the strategy with input from Talent 101 and have the oversight responsibility to validate Talent 101’s performance for our testing services. Talent 101 manages and deploys its Test Technician resources on a day-to-day basis to meet the service level agreements (SLA) established in the contract. Our resource plans align with our customers' test processes, production, work in progress (WIP), and availability of automated test equipment. Talent 101’s Test Technicians are under the direction of the Talent 101 leadership team.
The benefits above are only a few of many different reasons why an organization should use Talent 101’s Test Technician services. Talent 101 currently provides Test Technician services to Fortune 500 Semiconductor and IC Design companies.
Early in the pandemic, the automotive industry slowed production due to lower demand for new vehicles. But once they were ready to ramp back up, the manufacturers were surprised to find a semiconductor chip shortage was derailing their production capabilities and threatening to prolong their recovery cycle.
Job postings for electrical engineers in the U.S. semiconductor industry grew 78% from 2020 to 2021 — more than three times faster than growth for electrical engineers overall. What’s more, the U.S. semiconductor industry will need between 70,000 and 90,000 new workers by 2025 to meet the most critical workforce needs, reported Eightfold.ai.
There are many strategies being aimed at helping the industry overcome today’s unrelenting labor crisis. But will any of them work?
By now, the world is fully aware of the impact of the semiconductor chip shortage — the industry, businesses, and the economy have taken enormous hits. But there is another looming concern that industry leaders say threatens the U.S. semiconductor industry — national security.
The problem, as many see it, is that the U.S. has become too dependent on chip manufacturing in Asia. Both the recent war in Ukraine and long-brewing tensions between countries in close proximity to China are making national security an increasingly urgent issue.
