New from Universal Instruments, the 4797S HSP high-speed placement machine is the company's newest solution for high-volume, turret-style chip shooting.
The most significant change announced is the relocation of a number of key software engineering and software test jobs from Bangalore, India, to Binghamton, New York.
Approximately 26 positions will be removed in Bangalore and around 18 created in Binghamton.
Jeroen Schmits, President of Universal Instruments Corp, explains: "The Bangalore teams have made contributions to our software portfolio over the past two years and this restructuring will shorten our communication cycle, improve operational efficiencies and accelerate the pace of our software development".
As a result of the reorganisation, and due to lower than expected business volumes, approximately 30 staff in manufacturing operations, management and indirect positions at Binghamton will be affected by a layoff.
Those employees are expected to be notified on 13th October.
In addition, Universal Instruments is now hiring additional sales and service staff worldwide to strengthen its customer commitment, and adding new engineering positions in Binghamton.
