CXMT has launched a recruitment campaign for over 180 positions as it begins mass production of LPDDR6 memory chips, which will be used in Xiaomi's 18 Fold smartphone. The recruitment, announced on September 1, targets students graduating in 2027 from various tech disciplines, including microelectronics and semiconductor design.13
The majority of the roles are based in Hefei, with additional positions in Beijing, Shanghai, and Xi'an. CXMT aims to enhance its global competitiveness against major players like Samsung and SK Hynix by building a rich talent pool. Industry analyst Liu Dingding noted, "While the scale of the recruitment is moderate, high-tech companies such as chipmakers rely more on a small number of highly qualified talent to drive growth."5
The LPDDR6 chips represent a significant milestone, marking the first time a Chinese memory maker has introduced a leading-edge memory standard ahead of overseas suppliers. This production aligns with Xiaomi's strategy to integrate advanced technology into its devices, as the Xiaomi 18 Fold will be the first smartphone to feature the Xring O3 processor, built on a 3nm process.
Xiaomi's launch event on September 9, 2026, will also unveil other products, including the Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max and electric vehicles under the Xiaomi Pengcheng brand, showcasing the company's commitment to innovation and technology advancement.
“The recruitment drive targets 2027 graduates across microelectronics, AI, and more, with roles in Hefei, Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an, and Japan. Analyst Liu Dingding notes that high-tech firms rely on a small number of highly qualified talent, and overseas sites boost global competitiveness.”
