A semiconductor maker whose filing states its full-time and part-time counts and nothing by site or country, so the whole workforce takes the semiconductor pattern.
The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.
What follows from the reading
Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 17% now, 35% at the end of 2027, 44% at the end of 2028, 49% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 49% desk work, 14% people work and 37% body work. These are the site's industry estimates weighted by the shares below: estimates with a stated method and range, not a forecast of what the company will do. By the same patterns, at the end of 2028 about 49% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 41% becomes checking a model's work and 4% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.

The workforce as industry patterns
| Pattern | Share | Reason, from the filing |
|---|---|---|
| Semiconductor and Other Electronic Component Manufacturing | 100% | By description (c): the filing describes one business, the design and manufacture of power and sensing semiconductors in its own fabs and assembly plants, with no count by site, so the whole workforce takes the semiconductor pattern. |
What the filing says about the workforce: About 22,600 regular full-time and about 70 part-time or temporary employees as of December 31, 2025 across 33 countries (26,400 a year earlier, after the 2024 realignment that ended about 1,200 jobs); the collector's pick of 1,500 was a restructuring count.

Questions about this company
- How much of ON Semiconductor Corporation's working time is within reach of AI?
- An estimated 17% now and 44% by the end of 2028, on METR's long-run pace at four in five, from the workforce ON Semiconductor Corporation's own annual report describes and BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. It is an estimate with a stated method. It is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings, and it says nothing about what the company will do.
- How many people does ON Semiconductor Corporation employ?
- 22,670 as of December 31, 2025, as its annual report for the period ending December 31, 2025 states as the sum of the parts it gives.
- What kinds of work make up ON Semiconductor Corporation's workforce?
- Read from its annual report as a blend of 1 industry staffing pattern, the largest Semiconductor and Other Electronic Component Manufacturing; by those patterns the work is about 49% desk work, 14% people work and 37% body work. Each share has a one-sentence reason on this page that can be checked against the filing.
- What does ON Semiconductor Corporation's annual report say about AI?
- 36 sentences in the filing name AI. Its annual reports for fiscal 2021 to 2025 name it in 1, 2, 4, 18 and 36 sentences, year by year. They are counted and quoted on this page, never judged: a count says how much a filing talks about AI, not what the company does with it.
- How is this estimated?
- Claude Fable 5.1 read the annual report under the Index's written rubric (version 1) on October 19, 2026: the stated headcount, the share in the U.S. when stated, and the workforce as a blend of industry staffing patterns. The estimates are the site's industry estimates weighted by those shares, from O*NET tasks with estimated lengths and METR's measurements of how long a task AI models can finish. A company can write to info@stratussc.com to have its reading checked against its filing.
