Toshiba Expands SOC Design Support Network with Opening of San Diego Design Center
Continued Investment in Design Centers and Engineering Talent Demonstrates Company's Commitment to SOC Business
SAN JOSE, Calif., November 26, 2002 -- Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. (TAEC) today announced the opening of its seventh U.S.-based design center located in San Diego, Calif. The new design center will provide System-on-a-Chip (SOC) design implementation support and is the second design center opened by the company this year.
"Despite being in the midst of a semiconductor recession, we are committed to the SOC business and continue to invest strategically as part of our plan to grow TAEC's share of the North American market," said Richard Tobias, vice president of the ASIC and Foundry Business Unit at TAEC. "While others are faltering and cutting back, we are aggressively opening design centers and hiring top engineering talent for our development and customer support engineering organization."
The San Diego design center staff includes a highly experienced engineering team with experience in very complex, multimillion gate designs. Earlier this year, TAEC opened a new design center in Minneapolis, Minn. A large engineering team there is concentrating on mixed- signal development and design implementation for customers across the United States. This region is able to tap into a rich engineering heritage drawn from the excellent university and surrounding engineering community located there. TAEC's other design centers are located in San Jose, Calif.; Richardson, Texas; Wakefield, Mass.; Marlboro, Mass. and Beaverton, Ore.
