IC’Alps, a French provider of ASIC Design & Supply Services has announced the creation of a new design center in Toulouse (France) with a mature team of 30+ engineers with skills in analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits particularly for Automotive needs. The opening of this second design center marks an important step towards becoming a leading ASIC Design House in EMEA and a major Automotive player for led drivers, power management, and other high-voltage requirements.

With this mature team composed of experienced engineers, IC’Alps integrates key skills in major steps of ASIC development:  specification, design, verification, characterization, industrial test and design-in support. This team will also bring an automotive functional expertise, with a dedicated development cycle and relevant safety frameworks (ASIL A to D, IATF16949-ready). This team will also be involved in HealthTech projects, among others those within the French industrial group DOLIAM, the parent company of IC’Alps.

“The team in our new development center in Toulouse shares a DNA in line with the spirit developed over the past 5 years within IC'Alps: a determination to get involved in the service of our customers' innovative applications, and a motivation to participate in our growth to become a major player in Europe on demanding markets, notably for the medical, aeronautic and for the increasing automotive sectors. Deeply involved in Grenoble's Silicon Valley, our location in Toulouse positions us in the heart of the Occitanie region and its dynamic industrial ecosystem, as well as close to numerous schools and universities training the young talents who will join our teams. IC'Alps thus becomes a company with over 85 experts available to meet the challenges of integrated circuits.” Jean-Luc Triouleyre, CEO of IC’Alps.

“Among several other attractive opportunities, the team has decided to join the ambitious project of IC'Alps and DOLIAM group, with leaders fully committed to the support and success of their customers as well as the fulfilment and development of their employees.
