Frontier Silicon has begun a recruitment drive for experienced software engineering staff at its Cambridge product design centre.

In support of its growing dominance in the mobile television and DAB digital radio markets worldwide, Frontier Silicon has announced a recruitment drive for experienced software engineering staff at its Cambridge product design centre.

The centre, which has expanded to over 75 engineers since it opened in 2004, now has 25 new vacancies in software development.

The Cambridge design centre is part of Frontier Silicon's 200-strong worldwide operation, headquartered in Watford, with further offices in Ireland, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and China.

It delivers RFIC (radio frequency IC) design, digital design, digital and hardware product development, embedded software development and product testing, and has already made significant contributions to many of the chips being used in today's DAB radios and mobile phones receiving television broadcasts in Germany, South Korea, and China.

Anthony Sethill, CEO of Frontier Silicon, commented: "Our Cambridge design centre is at the forefront of our development activities in digital and RF integrated circuits, mobile TV and DAB digital radio products".

"It has been instrumental in providing the technology for customers such as Philips, Sony, Sharp, Samsung Bang and Olufsen and Denon".

Frontier supplies mobile TV semiconductor solutions for leading products such as Samsung's best selling T-DMB mobile phones, B2300 and SGH-P900, and has already shipped over one million devices for the mobile TV market.

Its multistandard solution satisfies the important global standards, DVB-H, T-DMB and DAB-IP, for the fast growing digital multimedia and mobile broadcast markets.

In DAB radio the company is an established market leader, with a worldwide market share of over 80% for DAB receiver solutions.

Sethill added: "Our Cambridge design centre offers experienced engineers the opportunity to work on leading edge new wireless/consumer technology development at one of the UK's fastest growing, dynamic companies".
