Intel is moving forward with another major round of layoffs in Oregon, announcing that 669 employees will lose their jobs across four sites in the Portland metro area. The job cuts were disclosed in a newly released WARN notice, with layoffs beginning on September 16.

2501 NE Century Blvd., Hillsboro
-
5200 NE Elam Young Pkwy., Hillsboro
-
2111 NE 25th Ave., Hillsboro
These sites make up a significant part of Intel’s presence in Washington County, where the company remains Oregon’s largest private employer.
Follows Earlier Layoffs This Summer
The latest cuts come just months after 529 Oregon employees were laid off in July, reflecting the ongoing financial and operational challenges the tech giant is facing. Combined, Intel has eliminated nearly 1,200 jobs in Oregon within a few months.
The company has been working to reduce costs as it attempts to stabilize amid global chip market shifts, increased competition, and delays in manufacturing advancements.
A Difficult Season for Oregon’s Tech Workforce
The reduction of nearly 700 more positions signals continued turbulence for the region’s technology sector. Intel’s Oregon facilities — particularly the massive Hillsboro campuses — play a central role in the company’s research, development, and manufacturing operations. Job losses at this scale send ripples through the local economy, affecting families, contractors, and nearby businesses.
State officials say they are monitoring the situation, though Intel has not publicly released additional details about which departments or roles were affected.
What Comes Next
While Intel has not announced future job cuts, industry analysts expect the company to continue restructuring as it works to regain ground in the semiconductor market. Oregon’s economic leaders caution that more shifts could follow as Intel attempts to streamline operations and realign its business strategy.
For now, nearly 700 Oregonians are preparing for job transitions — the latest sign of the tech giant’s challenging year.
