LG Innotek is actively seeking global talent in the field of Physical Artificial Intelligence (AI), which includes robotics and autonomous driving.

The company recently held a recruitment event called 'Inno Connect' at the InterContinental Hotel in downtown Los Angeles, as announced on August 25.

Inno Connect invites top talent from major U.S. universities to introduce LG Innotek's business vision and technological competitiveness. The company plans to host this event annually in the U.S. starting in 2024 to secure global talent.

This year's event featured key executives, including Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Min Joon and Chief Human Resources Officer (CHO) Lee Dong-hoon, along with other senior R&D officials. Approximately 30 graduate and doctoral students, as well as experienced professionals from 16 U.S. universities, including Stanford, Caltech, Yale, and UCLA, were invited.

Participants' research areas included Physical AI, advanced packaging, and next-generation optics, all of which are closely related to the business sectors LG Innotek is focusing on for future growth.

LG Innotek is currently enhancing its business portfolio, concentrating on the high-growth and profitable sectors of Physical AI and semiconductor substrates. As part of this effort, the company is committed to securing key R&D talent that will drive technological competitiveness in these fields.

During the event, LG Innotek researchers presented the latest technology trends and R&D status tailored to the participants' majors. An 'Ask Me Anything' (AMA) session allowed executives to share insights on the company's technological strengths, talent development philosophy, and support systems for professional growth.

CTO Min Joon stated, "LG Innotek is a global company with strong partnerships with leading big tech firms, and at the core of this are world-class talents recognized globally. I hope you will showcase your capabilities at LG Innotek and become leaders in the era of Physical AI."

LG Innotek is also expanding its recruitment programs for overseas talent. The company operates a 'Global Internship' program annually for foreign and Korean students at domestic and international universities, with outstanding participants being offered full-time positions.

Additionally, the company is fostering talent at its overseas production sites. Its Vietnam subsidiary has established partnerships with local universities, including Hanoi University of Science and Technology and Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology, to run recruitment-linked programs such as contract departments, internships, and career guidance.
