National Semiconductor, which is based in Santa Clara, Calif., and employs 500 in South Portland, yesterday said it would eliminate 200 positions at its manufacturing facilities in a bid to modernize its systems, according to a press release.
Most of the job cuts will be at the company’s facilities in Texas and Scotland, but “a small number of positions” will be cut in South Portland, the release said. A spokesperson from National Semiconductor was not immediately available for comment.
