“The facility strengthens EnSilica’s presence in the European Union and taps into Budapest’s technology ecosystem, which hosts numerous automotive and industrial multinationals – [the] city has rapidly become a key technology hub in the EU,” according to the company.
Focussing on mixed-signal designs for industrial and automotive applications, the plan is to have 16 engineers in the Budapest team by the end of September “many with 10 to 20 years’ expertise in mixed-signal chip design”, it added.
EnSilica’s operations now span four UK engineering design centres: Abingdon, Sheffield, Bristol and Cambridge, then Bangalore in India, Porto Alegre and Campinas in Brazil, and now Budapest which will take group head-count to around 210 employees.
The company designs RF, mmWave, mixed-signal and digital ICs for customers in automotive, industrial, healthcare and communications markets, and offers intellectual property related to cryptography, radar and communications.
