processing center in Singapore
Singapore,
January
5th, 2022
- Dolphin Design, a company specialized in
advanced chip design, will open its new dedicated Edge Computing
and AI branch in Singapore at Pasir Ris where the France-based
semiconductor company Soitec operates a fab. Dolphin Design's
vision is to enable the largest possible AIoT/EDGE IoT
semiconductor community to deliver products with ultimate energy
efficiency and performance given its mantra "Consume less energy
while increasing performance". Soitec holds an 80% stake in Dolphin
Design.
While the hub of the power management and audio
activities will remain in France, Dolphin Design wants to move some
of its processing activities to Singapore. The branch will become a
center of excellence in R&D and industrialization for its
processing activity and a key pillar in its business development in
Asia and worldwide. It will also become a regional application lab
and customer support center for its processing IP platform
portfolio. Dolphin Design also plans to build demo boards and
software in Singapore, especially for its growth in AI algorithms,
leveraging its strong platform for entrepreneurial and industrial
developments in the semiconductor sector.
Dolphin Design`s development plan in Singapore
calls for the recruitment of 10 local talents in the coming months
and up to 50 in total by 2023. Highly skilled engineers with a
background in AI or Edge Computing, from fresh graduates to those
with over 15 years of experience in that fields will be sought.
Qualified staff will have the opportunity to further hone their
expertise with training stints in Dolphin Design’s headquarters in
France. In addition, the staff would also benefit from being
co-located with Soitec as this will enable them to gain exposure to
and cross-learning capabilities in the engineered substrate
manufacturing.
Chang Chin Nam, Senior Vice President
and Head Semiconductor of Singapore´s
Economic
Development
Board (EDB), said, “We value
partnerships with semiconductor companies such as Dolphin Design in
addressing the global demand for semiconductor solutions, in growth
areas such as Edge Computing and AI. The semiconductor industry is
a key pillar of Singapore’s economy, and Dolphin Design’s decision
to site its new Edge Computing and AI branch in Singapore is
testament to our attractiveness as a global hub for chip design.
EDB is delighted to support Dolphin Design’s establishment in
Singapore, which will create good job opportunities for
Singaporeans.”
Cyril Menon, Operations
Senior Executive Vice President at
Soitec and Chairman
of the Dolphin Design
Board, said, “Dolphin Design is gaining momentum
and its expansion to Singapore is an exciting milestone for its
development. We are very proud to welcome Dolphin Design in our fab
in Singapore, where we manufacture cutting-edge semiconductor
materials. We look forward to leveraging the combined synergies of
Dolphin Design’s R&D and Soitec’s engineered substrates
manufacturing capabilities to provide an integrated, value-added
solution for the semiconductor ecosystem. We know that the
opportunities surrounding AI and Edge Computing are virtually
limitless today and having Dolphin Design under one roof with
Soitec in Singapore will allow it to harness Soitec’s regional
footprint and jointly capture and exploit the potential of these
technologies.”
Philippe Berger, CEO
of Dolphin Design, said,
“Singapore is a strategic location for our future development.
While we already have cooperation programs with local universities,
we now want to leverage Singapore ecosystem to build a development
center that will be essential to our roadmap on Edge Computing and
AI for IoT. We are proud that this initiative is strongly supported
by the local authorities through EDB. Our goal is to recruit the
best engineers in the region to help us grow and develop new
solutions for our customers. Being in Singapore will also allow us
to be closer to our Asian customers and provide them with quick
support.”
