EnSilica открывает центр компетенций по космическим и коммуникационным чипам в Милане

EnSilica, the mixed-signal asic specialist, is opening its Space & Communications Semiconductor Centre of Excellence in Milan. The centre will initially recruit 20 specialist modem and mmWave engineers over the next six months, expanding its engineering presence within the European Union. This, says EnSilica, will enable the Group to participate more closely in European space, semiconductor and communications initiatives. Specifically, the aim is for the centre to provide EU-based expertise spanning modem architecture, physical-layer algorithms, digital signal processing and mmWave communications systems. It will work alongside EnSilica’s existing asic engineering and operations teams. The company highlights the Lombardy region as a central hub for the semiconductor industry. “Milan sits within one of Europe’s major semiconductor and communications ecosystems,” said Ian Lankshear, CEO of EnSilica, pictured. “It is therefore a natural decision to open a Space & Communications Semiconductor Centre of Excellence in Milan to expand our position within the EU. Initially recruiting 20 modem and mmWave engineers over the next six months will give us the specialist capability at both the systems and semiconductor level to support the existing pipeline.” “Overall, this investment will strengthen our EU engineering footprint and advance our ambition to make EnSilica the leading European supplier of application-specific silicon for the rapidly growing space and communications markets.” Note that the Milan centre will be EnSilica’s third site in Europe, alongside a design centre in Budapest and a sales centre in Munich.
