• Employment type – Full-time
• Industry – Semiconductors
3. About
• eASIC® is a fabless semiconductor company offering
breakthrough eASIC Platforms that significantly reduce
the overall cost of ownership and time to production of
customized silicon devices. Employing a unique and
patented technology for customization using a single via,
eASIC enables customers to develop custom silicon with
low up-front costs, and deliver tested prototypes in as
little as 5 weeks from tape out. While the customization
technology is innovative and protected by broad patents,
the design implementation and device fabrication are
performed using conventional electronic design flow and
standard manufacturing processes.
