Kionix and Rohm 'Finnish' the job with R&D centre
Kionix, together with its parent company, ROHM Semiconductor, has announced the opening of a software development centre in Oulu, Finland, to reinforce its sensor software and development resources. The jointly formed software development centre will expand upon the company’s past and current presence in Finland, leveraging the many skilled and available resources in the area.
“As the ROHM Group Companies (ROHM, Kionix and LAPIS Semiconductor) work together in broadening what is already a prominent sensor portfolio, we saw the formation of this R&D centre not only as a synergetic initiative, but most opportunistic to take advantage of the existing engineering talent in the area,” said Nader Sadrzadeh, President & CEO, Kionix. “The contribution from this team will augment our existing R&D centres and further propel our company as a global leader in sensors and sensing solutions.”
