Intel is betting big on US manufacturing, especially after the government's landmark $52 billion semiconductor investment in August.
The chip giant broke ground on a new factory in Ohio, began working on two new plants in Arizona, and started plotting a new factory in Germany.
Intel said during its third-quarter earnings call that to reverse its decreased sales and revenue, it would heavily invest in manufacturing and compete with companies like Taiwan Semiconductor by offering its own chip-fabrication services.
Amid all these initiatives, Intel brought on thousands of visa-holding workers to change its trajectory.
Though Intel doesn't share how much it pays employees, it is required to disclose salary offers in work-visa applications submitted to the US Office of Foreign Labor Certification. Insider combed data from the office, which authorizes hiring non-US employees and then publicly releases the data.
The data doesn't include stock grants, which can significantly increase total compensation, but it is a valuable guide to Intel salaries for a variety of positions. Insider dug through the thousands of disclosed salaries that represent engineers, managers, and more.
The analyzed salaries from the second quarter of 2022 mainly represent workers in Oregon, California, Arizona, and Texas. The highest-paid people in the data set are two engineering managers in California who were each offered $263,952, while the lowest-paid person in the data was a graphics hardware engineer in Texas who was offered $36,462.
Here's a breakdown of what Intel pays many other employees. The broad categories are taken from filings by the Office of Foreign Labor Certification. Roles are listed below only if there are at least three candidates.
