SAN JOSE — A tech company has opened a new office in San Jose in a job-creating expansion that counters the dreary drumbeat of tech layoffs and space cutbacks in the Bay Area.
The tech company saw this as an opportune moment to add a new facility because more semiconductor manufacturing operations are returning to the United States after a lengthy period of offshore sites. About 200 people are slated to work at the new ISE Labs office and research site in north San Jose. ISE Labs already operates an existing facility in Fremont, which will remain open even with the new San Jose office.
