Hero Electronix’s Tessolve opens CoE for VLSI Chip Design in Bangalore
Hero Electronix, a part of the Hero Group, today announced the opening of its dedicated Semiconductor Chip Design centre in Bangalore by Tessolve.
The centre will focus on the needs of Tessolve’s clients, which include major global semiconductor companies. The company recently inaugurated another centre in Visakhapatnam, which primarily focuses on software and test program development.
The new centre is located at Global Technology Park, Block C, Bellandur, Outer Ring Road. The new office will be catering to chip design projects across all domains — Design Verification, Design for Test and Debug, Physical Design, FPGA Emulation, Post SI Validation, Analog & Mixed Signal (AMS) Design.
“Our vision is to be the leader in semiconductor and systems engineering from concept to delivering chips and systems. We believe in being a technology services company where we help our customers with in depth expertise, enable time to market advantage and economic benefits. It is an important milestone for the Tessolve team in our journey to become a chip design leader and is followed by the acquisition of Analog Semiconductors a year back to strengthen our analog design capabilities. It will further help in strengthening our capabilities as an end to end solutions partner and semiconductor engineering services leader,” said P. Raja Manickam, Founder & CEO, Tessolve.
“We are proud of Tessolve’s growth and achievement since our partnership as today it is amongst the leaders in the semiconductor engineering space. We have not been shy of making investments in assets and infrastructure to add strategic capabilities as Tessolve made acquisitions in key areas — embedded systems, analog design, PCB fabrication and test lab. The new design centre will help accelerate Tessolve’s growth and replicate its test engineering leadership in chip design,” said Nikhil Rajpal, CEO, Hero Electronix.
“The goal is to scale the design team by 100% over next 2 years to support growing demand for chip design projects from Tessolve’s customers,” read a communiqué from the company. “As more and more clients seek capability and depth in a critical area like chip design, the new facility has been set up as the centre of excellence for all chip design projects. It will work in close association with Tessolve’s other design centres to develop innovative chip solutions across verticals — automotive, server, graphics and mobile platforms, to name a few. Training will be a key focus area. Tessolve already runs training programs for engineering talent aimed at long-term growth and development of the workforce.”
Since the acquisition by Hero Electronix in 2016, Tessolve has strategically focussed on expansion of its services portfolio by enhancement of its capabilities. Expertise areas now cover chip design (VLSI), test development, and hardware design through Embedded Systems development.
