Apple plans to vastly increase its engineering footprint in San Diego, pledging to grow its local workforce to more than 5,000 employees over the next five years.
The iPhone maker laid out its growth blueprint for the region on Monday as part of a commitment to invest $430 billion and add 20,000 new jobs across the U.S. by 2026.
Apple’s move to accelerate U.S. investment includes a new $1 billion, 3000-worker campus in North Carolina focused on machine learning and artificial intelligence. It also plans to expand an existing corporate center in Culver City to accommodate 3,000 workers.
Boston and Seattle are targeted for growth — as is Austin, which is in the throes of a $1 billion campus expansion. Iowa will be the home of a new data center.
