AI is taking over entry-level work such as yield analysis, recipe tuning, defect classification, and test reports, but hands-on troubleshooting in fabs and dry rooms, equipment recovery, and heat-treatment adjustments remain, and capacity expansion in semiconductors and batteries props up hiring.

Major lifespan is the time left until AI is expected to start shrinking hiring of this major’s graduates. It doesn’t mean the major will disappear or that everyone will lose their job.
