Integra Technologies: Wichita's $1.8B Chip Plant and 2,000 Jobs
Published: June 16, 2026 | By LocalJobPage Team
Wichita, KS — The Air Capital is known for building airplanes. Soon it could be known for building chips too. Integra Technologies is putting up a $1.8 billion semiconductor facility in the Wichita area, a project tied to nearly 2,000 new jobs and a brand-new career path for South Central Kansas workers.
Many of these roles are entry-level positions that start with a high school diploma or GED and on-the-job training, not a four-year degree.
What Integra is building
Integra is expanding its outsourced semiconductor assembly and test operations, known in the industry as OSAT. The company plans a facility of roughly one million square feet at the southeast corner of Rock Road and K-254 in Bel Aire, just northeast of Wichita. A separate 100,000-square-foot space on North Rock Road is being used for training while the larger campus comes together. Production continues in the meantime at Integra's Northrock Business Park operations.
Why this matters for Wichita
This is one of the largest semiconductor projects of its kind in the country, and it lands in a metro that already knows advanced manufacturing inside and out. For a region built on aviation, chip assembly and test is a natural next chapter: precision work, clean rooms, and a steady pipeline of technical roles. State leaders backed the project with hundreds of millions in incentives because of what it could mean for local paychecks for years to come.
The jobs and the pay
The plan points to roughly 1,994 new positions with wages averaging around $51,000. The roles run the full ladder: engineers and technicians, plus sales, human resources, finance, and operations support. A significant share are entry-level production jobs that come with training, which makes this one of the rare large employers where someone without a degree can step into advanced manufacturing and grow.
