Siemens plans to add 350 jobs in Wake County over the next few years in support of America’s growing AI and data center markets, the German industrial manufacturing company announced Tuesday.
In Raleigh, its 131,000-square-foot facility will come online in April and add 100 jobs by the end of the year to assemble power delivery products. The prefabricated systems reduce on-site installation time, helping data center operators bring capacity online faster, according to Siemens. By next year, Siemens expects to be operating two full shifts at the facility.
In Wendell, a new 101,000-square-foot site will come online in July and localize production of medium-voltage protection and automation devices while adding 50 jobs.
Siemens’ Wendell-based Electrification and Automation U.S. headquarters will expand local switchgear production, creating more than 200 additional jobs there by 2028. Siemens opened this facility in the early 1980s, and more than 1,000 people now work there.
“Customer demand is at an all-time high as advanced infrastructure upgrades are needed to meet the power requirements from increasing AI workloads,” said Ruth Gratzke, president of Siemens Smart Infrastructure U.S, in a release. The new investment will add “capacity to meet the needs of data center and AI factory customers during this transformative phase of the AI industrial revolution, underscoring our long‑standing commitment to American-made solutions.”…
