BINGHAMTON, NY – Universal Instruments Corp. will cut 30 staff from its Binghamton headquarters and move nearly 20 software engineering jobs from Bangalore to Binghamton as part of a company-wide restructuring. The moves are due to lower than expected business volumes, the company said in a press release today. 
The company said it would cut 26 software test and engineering jobs from Bangalore and add “around 18” in Binghamton.

Newly appointed president Jeroen Schmits said, “The Bangalore teams have made contributions to our software portfolio over the past two years and this restructuring will shorten our communication cycle, improve operational efficiencies and accelerate the pace of our software development.”

About 30 staff in manufacturing operations, management and indirect positions at Binghamton will be laid off.

However, Universal Instruments said it is hiring sales and service staff worldwide and adding engineering positions in Binghamton.
