pSemi opens design center in India
Murata company pSemi Corp of San Diego, CA, USA – a fabless provider of radio-frequency integrated circuits (RFICs) based on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) – has opened a new design center in Chennai, India to support the growing demand for semiconductor products enabling 5G and Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications.
The India office will accelerate the scalability of its engineering team and the development of new design innovations for cellular RF front-end modules, sensor systems-on-a-chip and power management integrated circuits (ICs). Featuring labs and office space, the design center is located at Level 9, Olympia Teknos Park, No. 28 SIDCO Industrial Estate, Guindy, Chennai 600032. pSemi is now actively hiring staff.
“India is emerging as the largest mobile phone manufacturing hub in the world. With our new India design center, we want to attract top talent and further expand our engagements with customers, partners and the smartphone ecosystem,” says CEO Sumit Tomar. “We have opened our first pSemi India design center in Chennai, but we will soon expand into other cities. We plan to scale up rapidly; our hiring plan is limited only by the availability of talent.”
The establishment of the design center follows pSemi’s recent product portfolio growth in 5G, wireless connectivity, power management and sensors along with increased IC content in smartphones and mobile applications. Furthermore, the pSemi India design center will serve as a close liaison between pSemi and Murata, strengthening the companies’ operational growth with higher levels of integration and functionality in IC and package design.
