Freescale Semiconductor
   

India

Freescale started its operation in India in 1998 with a mission of making India a center of excellence in SoC Integration & IP design. Over the years, the operations have gone from strength to strength to emerge as a team of professional engineers working tirelessly to move up the value chain and become a vital part of global network of design teams which form the core of Freescale business operations.

Today, India is one of Freescale's two Centers of Excellence in the region (China being the other) and is emerging as the largest design center outside of the U.S.

Soon, the India Design Center will be one of the only design centers outside the U.S. developing and delivering R&D products to all the three major business units—Transportation and Standard Products Group (TSPG), Networking and Computing Systems Group (NCSG) and Wireless and Mobility Systems Group (WMSG).
