- Infineon opened a new Cork office as part of its EUR 60 million Irish expansion plan.
- The R&D hub will focus on automotive and consumer microelectronics technologies.
The Infineon automotive microelectronics R&D hub Ireland initiative has taken a significant step forward with the official opening of a new office in Cork. Announced by IDA Ireland on March 6, the facility is located at City Gate Park in Mahon and forms part of Infineon Technologies AG’s broader EUR 60 million investment plan for its Irish operations revealed in 2024. The office has been designed with expansion capacity to support the continued growth of the Cork engineering and research team.
Expansion of Infineon’s Automotive and Consumer Microelectronics Research
The new Cork office will serve as a research and development center dedicated to innovations in automotive and consumer microelectronics. Key technology areas include battery management systems, motor control solutions, and advanced touchscreen technologies that are increasingly important for modern vehicles and connected electronic devices. These R&D efforts are intended to accelerate the development of next-generation semiconductor technologies that support electrification, improved system efficiency, and enhanced user interfaces.
Talent Development and Collaboration with Local Universities
The expansion will also create a mix of senior engineering roles, early-career positions, and opportunities for graduates entering the semiconductor industry. A significant portion of recruitment will occur through the Infineon Ireland Graduate Program, which integrates local university talent into the company’s development activities. Through initiatives supported by the Irish Government and IDA Ireland, Infineon aims to strengthen its local innovation ecosystem while developing technologies and products for global automotive and consumer electronics markets.
