"India Offers EXCEPTIONAL ACCESS TO TALENT In Silicon Design, Software Engineering, AI Development"

Recognising India's design potential, Lattice Semiconductor has established an R&D centre in Pune to develop innovative FPGA solutions. In an exclusive conversation with EFY's Yashasvini Razdan, Ford Tamer answers the question—Why India?

- FORD TAMER

What are the challenges in the electronic semiconductor industry that Lattice intends to address with an R&D centre in Pune?

Major challenges include shortening design cycles and increasing costs in advanced process nodes (for example, 3 nanometres and 2 nanometres). FPGAs provide flexibility by enabling rapid prototyping and software updates, avoiding the high costs and long timelines associated with application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). For fast-evolving areas like security and AI, FPGAs offer adaptability to changing requirements. Our Pune design centre focuses on developing vision, security, and edge AI solutions to address these challenges.

Why should an electronics embedded design company design in India?

India offers exceptional access to talent in silicon design, software engineering, and AI development, aligning with our hiring objectives. Despite intense competition for skilled professionals, the region remains cost-effective.
