Sony Semiconductor Solutions, a subsidiary of Sony Group, is taking steps to attract and retain talent in priority areas such as software development and artificial intelligence. To achieve this, the company has announced a full remote work option for mid-career hires. It is looking to hire 10 to 20 engineers for remote work positions, with recruitment currently ongoing for 11 positions in AI model quality control, cloud technology development, and imaging processing technology required for edge AI.

By introducing the full remote work option, Sony is aligning its semiconductor business model beyond being just a component supplier. The division’s primary source of earnings is from image sensors for cameras in Apple’s iPhone and other devices. However, Sony wants to expand its reach by introducing the AITRIOS platform. This platform uses cameras equipped with Sony chips and AI processing to study an environment and provide ways to improve efficiency.

The AITRIOS platform debuted in Japan in November, and Sony began offering the platform in Japan and the US for big companies that want to use it with existing IT infrastructures in January. To develop applications for AITRIOS, Sony requires expertise in both advanced AI and cloud engineering since the platform sends only metadata, not actual images, to the cloud.

While the full remote work option is only currently available in the semiconductor division, Sony may expand it to other parts of the group as competition for tech talent increases worldwide. Sony Semiconductor Solutions is taking this step to cast a wider net and attract the talent required to support the expansion of its business beyond its current offerings.
