Leading MEMS manufacturer, Kionix, Inc., together with its parent company, ROHM Semiconductor, announce the opening of a new software development center in Oulu, Finland to reinforce their sensor software and development resources.
The new jointly formed software development center 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 center 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 of Kionix. "The contribution from this team will augment our existing R&D centers and further propel our company as a global leader in sensors and sensing solutions."
