Taiwan’s AI Ambitions Run into Talent Gap
Reported by EE Times on 16 October 2026
What it means for hiring
AMD's David Wang told EE Times that Taiwan has substantial opportunities in rack-scale AI, physical AI and the AI PC market, but that talent may be the thing that limits how much of it the country captures.
When a senior figure at a company of that size names talent as the constraint rather than capital, fabrication capacity or demand, it is worth taking at face value. The same shortage exists in Europe and shows up differently: roles open for nine months, salaries moving between offer and acceptance, and candidates holding three live processes at once. The response that works is not paying more, it is deciding faster, because in a market this tight the company that takes three weeks to give feedback loses to the one that takes three days regardless of what either is paying. That is worth saying to anyone who has had a requisition open since the summer and is wondering why nothing lands.

Hiring in ai & advanced computing?
This is one of the markets we recruit in every day. The AI hiring that matters in these markets is not the same as general software hiring. It sits close to the hardware: models that run on an edge device, vision on an imaging sensor, security in an embedded system.
