The Talent We Seek

The SoC design and verification industry—our core business—is facing a growing shortage of next-generation talent, affecting both semiconductor manufacturers and electronics companies alike.

At the same time, on a global scale, semiconductor development continues to experience dynamic growth in fields such as AI, IoT, and 5G, driven by industry giants like GAFAM, as well as leading companies in China and Taiwan.

Since our inception, we have steadily expanded our business from third-party functional verification services to RTL design services and proprietary verification tool development. But we are not just another outsourcing company—we are recognized by our clients as a key development and design partner.

This recognition stems from our unwavering commitment to:

- Keeping pace with global technological trends while bringing in our unique perspectives to drive more effective design solutions.
- Thinking from the client’s perspective and pursuing the best possible solutions with a relentless problem-solving mindset.

If this engineering philosophy resonates with you, we invite you to knock on our door and explore new possibilities with us.

Do any of the following describe you?
- You want to work efficiently and eliminate unnecessary processes.
- You want to stay hands-on with development for as long as possible.
- You are committed to continuously honing your technical skills.
- You aspire to shape the future of semiconductors and contribute to society.

If so, we’d love to hear from you.
We look forward to welcoming new talent and future innovators to our team!
