Monolithic Power opens Portugal design centre
Monolithic Power Systems (MPS) has opened a design centre in Portugal to boost its development of power chips across its range of markets. These include datacentres, EVs, solar, battery storage, robotics, telecom infrastructures, cloud computing, automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics.
Recruiting efforts are underway, with plans to add highly qualified jobs in the Porto area from entry-level to seasoned engineering professionals. To assist with this, MPS has retained Professor José Epifânio da Franca as its special advisor to engage with local industry and top universities in Portugal.
“Portugal has excellent universities and high quality of life that attracts worldwide talent. MPS wants to offer exceptional job opportunities within the semiconductor industry to this talent. We look forward to a great future of growth in the Portugal region,” said Michael Hsing, MPS’s CEO. “We believe Professor Franca is a great resource to help build those relationships.”
“I am honoured to be a special advisor to MPS, one of the fastest-growing companies in the semiconductor industry,” said Professor Franca.
da Franca is a full Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), and founded IST’s Integrated Circuits and Systems Research Group and Chipidea. He was elected Fellow of the IEEE, the first in Portugal, and is an Operating Partner at Keensight Capital.
