Nujira opens IC design centre in Edinburgh
Commenting, Tim Haynes, CEO of Nujira (pictured), said, “Our vision is to install hundreds of millions of Coolteq ICs into energy efficient 3G and 4G devices means that we need to rapidly expand our IC design capabilities. The support of Scottish Development International made a big difference in encouraging us to open our IC design centre in Edinburgh. Scotland not only has a pool of analog and digital IC design talent, but the Universities there also boast highly regarded Faculties of Electronic Engineering.”
Located in the heart of Edinburgh in St Andrew Square, Nujira’s design centre will house a multidisciplinary IC development team focused on the company’s handset solutions. Its designers there will specialise in high performance switched mode power supply controller and amplifier design.
Enterprise Minister Fergus Ewing said: “The decision of Nujira to establish a new centre in Edinburgh, which will create up to 20 new jobs, reinforces the capital’s strong reputation for innovation in technology and engineering. The Scottish Government, Scottish Enterprise and Scottish Development international continues to work hard to secure new investment and jobs to Scotland. Nujira’s plan to create a new centre in the city is testament to the talent and skills of the local workforce, and also Scotland’s competitiveness as a first class location for innovation.”
Anne MacColl, chief executive of Scottish Development International, said: "Scottish Development International has worked extensively with Nujira to help the company locate in Scotland, and this investment highlights once again the fact that Scotland continues to offer a very attractive proposition for inward investors."
