BANGALORE:California based Rambus, a developer of chip-chip interface products and services has announced the opening of its new design center in Bangalore with plans to hire people for its mixed signal technologies and service its customers in Asia and cater to its expanding business.
Everyone is going global. Our office in California was filling up rapidly and we needed to look to expand elsewhere. We considered many options before we finally opted for Bangalore. The talent pool here is great, Geoff Tate, Chairman of rambus said.
"The center will better serve the growing customer base in Asia - especially Taiwan and Japan - and the people will work on repeatable cells and cores designed for multiple process technologies," Tate, said adding about half our design inputs are for customers in Asia, and the India center would soon be 20 percent of the company's total headcount.
"Rambus engineering teams in Bangalore will focus primarily on development of additional PHYs and cores based on the company's technologies, including work in industry-standard designs such as PCI Express, Fibre channel, Serial ATA and DDR2memory controller designs," he said.
"The talent pool in India and the proximity to our Asian markets convinced us about the location, Tate said, adding that the presence in the country would enable it to get its foundry-based interface designs to more customers, especially in Taiwan, where some of the worlds biggest chip and semiconductor makers have facilities.
