Cyient, a global Intelligent Engineering services company continues to grow its joint venture with Allegro MicroSystems, as a leader in power and sensing solutions for motion control and energy efficiency. The organization now extends its partnership to include the newly opened Center of Excellence in Hyderabad, India-to accelerate the development of next-generation magnetic sensors and power semiconductor products tailored for the automotive industry.
The new CoE has been inaugurated by Vineet Nargolwala, President & CEO of Allegro MicroSystems, in the presence of key executives Max Glover, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Sales and Suman Narayan, Senior Vice President of Products at Allegro, located at Cyient’s Manikonda Campus.
It will house over 100 skilled engineers with backgrounds in post-silicon validation, design verification, analog design, analog mixed-signal verification, and embedded systems. This is a further strengthening of Allegro MicroSystems’ presence in India and levers the deep talent pool of the country, supporting collaboration within the dynamic Indian technology ecosystem.
Allegro says this new facility is a significant milestone in fast-tracking the development of Allegro’s sensor and power IC product lines, which play a very critical role in applications relating to electric vehicles, advanced driver-assistance systems, and other automotive technologies. Cyient will help the companies develop leading-edge products more swiftly and efficiently with the engineering expertise it brings to the table. The CoE will also address the trends inside the industry-for example, tremendous growth in magnetic sensors inside electric vehicles, growing utilization of high-power devices including SiC and GaN, and increasing importance of embedded systems inside automotive applications.
Allegro MicroSystems CEO Vineet Nargolwala said, “The rapidly growing automotive market in India offers a huge opportunity for Allegro. Working closely with Cyient, this new Centre of Excellence will now accelerate innovation in magnetic sensing and power semiconductors and help Allegro deliver leading solutions to more than meet the evolving requirements of the automotive industry. This has reinforced Allegro’s commitment to advancing e-mobility, clean energy, and automation.”
Over the last two years, I have seen Cyient have an extremely strong growth phase in collaboration with Allegro MicroSystems. I am proud of what my team contributed to their rich product portfolio. Semiconductors are at the core of all innovation, and this new CoE solidifies our position as a trusted partner for companies pushing the frontiers of next-generation semiconductor products,” said Krishna Bodanapu, Executive Vice-Chairman & Managing Director, Cyient.
The collaboration is a landmark milestone both for Cyient and Allegro, marking a huge leap in driving innovation in the automotive semiconductor space. This center of excellence is likely to significantly contribute to the growth of the semiconductor industry in India as it will support the automotive sector globally in its move towards more sustainable and technologically advanced solutions.
