Technology giant Motorola Inc., slashing costs in its loss-making semiconductor operations, said on Thursday it will cut 1,200-1,300 chip manufacturing jobs in Austin, Texas, and Sendai, Japan, as part of a move to consolidate production at its other plants.
The job cuts, to take place over nine to 15 months, are among the 4,000 semiconductor job cuts previously announced by the Illinois-based firm, spokeswoman Gloria Shiu said in Hong Kong.
