Siemens is a German technology conglomerate founded in Berlin in 1847 by Werner von Siemens around a telegraph that indicated letters rather than Morse code. After a decade of divestments it now concentrates on industry, infrastructure, transport and healthcare, supplying factory automation and control systems, building and grid technology, trains and signalling, and the Teamcenter and NX design software acquired through a long run of software purchases. The Siemens Xcelerator platform ties hardware to software and digital twins, and the group retains a majority stake in the separately listed medical imaging company Siemens Healthineers.

Questions

Can a foreigner apply for these roles?

1,308 of the 1,331 roles here state no citizenship or security-check demand. A role that does says so in its advert, and the card marks it.

Which companies hire most chip and hardware engineers?

Zeiss (275), Infineon Technologies (73), Vishay Intertechnology (49), Nexperia (34), KLA Corporation (32).

Which roles count here?

Every hardware, chip design, embedded, electrical and semiconductor process role at any employer, and the engineering, science, technician and IT roles of the semiconductor companies - chip designers, fabs and foundries, equipment makers, photonics. Their sales, finance and office roles are left out.

How fresh is this?

Every role is re-checked on the employer's own careers board at least every 48 hours, and the page is rebuilt every night.
