Microchip Technology a leading provider of smart, connected and secure embedded control solutions, today announced that a comprehensive survey by Ireland’s Sunday Independent in collaboration with Statista has again named Microchip as one of the leading employers across Ireland. The award reflects significant improvements in recent years, with the company climbing to the 18^th position in 2024 compared to 103rd in 2022.

More than 12,000 participants from more than 1,000 companies across Ireland were invited to evaluate their employer on a range of criteria including overall job satisfaction, potential for career development, and general willingness to recommend the organisation to others.

Microchip Technology Vice President EMEA, Michael Malinas commented, “We’ve invested heavily in Ireland in recent years, as evidenced by the establishment of our $20 million development centre in Cork in 2021.  We’re also committed to supporting and developing our people, in order to make Microchip a desirable employer, as well as a great place to work.”

Microchip operates multiple sites across Dublin, Cork, Ennis, Meath and Belfast, with the team having grown rapidly in recent years. The Cork development centre alone has already become a world-leading centre of semiconductor knowledge and expertise and is expected to continuously grow its workforce.

“One of the Guiding Values at Microchip is “Employees Are Our Greatest Strength,” we   provide our employees with the tools they need to empower them to create innovated solutions for our customers, not just in Ireland, but around the world” continued Malinas, “I’m delighted that our efforts to that effect have once again been recognised and validated by independent sources. To build a thriving company you need a thriving culture, and retaining our position in the top 20 demonstrates not only that we’re achieving what we set out to, but also that the work never stops in fostering an environment in which our employees can thrive.”
