In the building near Johannes Kepler University and the Science Park, there is space for 400 workplaces; 180 people are currently employed, according to press releases.

So far the team in Linz was spread out over three buildings. The specialists moved into the new building in May 2020. Sabine Herlichka, Executive Director, highlighted Linz’s position as “one of the most research-intensive industrial firms in Austria”. “We are here working on key technologies for mobile applications and driver assistance systems for autonomous driving. With more than 250 million 77GHz radar chips sold, Infineon is the technology leader and global marketplace in this area.”
