Working in the semiconductor industry and living in Maine means you enjoy a high-tech professional life and a “way life should be” personal life. Many find that living in Maine provides a relaxing, healthy balance that offsets the fast-paced demands of our industry.
Maine was recently ranked the third safest state in the nation, making it a great place to raise a family. In 1996, Maine's fourth and eighth graders were first in the nation in math on the National Assessment of Educational Progress. (Eighth graders also placed first in science.) Maine is famous for its art offerings: including theater, music and a feast of visual arts. A caring community, coupled with a strong educational system, cultural offering and four-season recreational opportunities ranging from inland lakes and mountains to our fabled coast provide the foundation for a high quality of life.What we do
