The site, open since November 1, 2014, is intended to reinforce sensor software development. Kionix has six job openings: two for application engineers, two for software programmers and two for software test engineers.
"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, CEO of Kionix, in statement. "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."
