\n\"facility<\/a>Samsung Austin Semiconductor, where I\u2019ve worked for the past 20 years, has grown to be Samsung\u2019s largest facility in the U.S, both in physical size and workforce. To date, Samsung\u2019s semiconductor business is a $17 billion investment, and one of the most significant foreign direct investments in the country.<\/p>\n

And while it may be our largest U.S. facility, with the plant size at 2.45 million total square feet, it\u2019s actually where we produce some of our smallest and most precise technology. Building application processors is an exact science, crucial to the rest of our business at Samsung as these products are the brains behind any given tablet or handset that the average consumer uses.<\/p>\n

At SAS, we\u2019re always asking the question \u2018why.\u2019 Why shouldn\u2019t your phone\u2019s battery life be longer? Why can\u2019t it run faster? Why shouldn\u2019t your car be able to talk to the road?<\/p>\n

SAS is the place where the technical meets with the creative, and where Samsung is coming up with our very best product solutions. And it\u2019s this American ingenuity and disruptive attitude\u200a\u2014\u200anever assuming that the current way is the best way\u200a\u2014\u200athat has made the innovations developed here at SAS so critical to Samsung\u2019s global semiconductor business.

We take pride in knowing that semiconductors will help shape the world around us. They\u2019re powering the Internet of Things in a truly tangible way, enabling autonomous vehicles as well as the sensors in the roads and bridges they drive on. Even now, the data being collected and efficiencies enabled by semiconductors are improving our outlook for traffic congestion, pollution control and energy consumption.<\/p>\n

So while we may be making the brains behind Samsung\u2019s products that enhance your daily life, we\u2019re also getting to the heart of some of our greatest challenges today.<\/p>\n
