Intel's Ohio chip factory is actually happening - they're hiring
Saw a bunch of new job postings from Bechtel for Intel's Ohio One project. Looks like they're pushing hard to hit that 2030 target after all the drama.

Okay so I saw this deal and had to share - remember Intel's massive Ohio chip factory that everyone thought was dead in the water? Well, turns out it's very much alive. Bechtel, the construction giant building this thing, just dropped a ton of new job listings specifically for "Phase 1" of the Ohio One project.
This is honestly pretty huge news. After Intel's rough patch over the past year, I was starting to wonder if this whole Ohio adventure would end up as another abandoned tech campus. But these aren't just random construction jobs - they're specifically looking for people to "accelerate construction" to meet that 2030 opening date. That's some serious commitment right there.
What strikes me about this whole situation is the timing. Intel's been clawing their way back from some pretty brutal setbacks, and now they're doubling down on domestic chip production. Makes sense when you think about it - with all the supply chain chaos we've seen, having a massive fab in the heartland of America isn't just smart, it's essential.
The 2030 target still feels ambitious to me. Four years to go from construction phase to pumping out cutting-edge chips? But hey, if anyone can pull off a construction miracle, it's Bechtel. These are the same folks who built the Hoover Dam, so a chip factory should be a piece of cake, right?
For us tech folks, this means we might actually see some real competition in the chip space by the end of the decade. And honestly? It's about time.
