Intrinsix People

Cutting edge products often require that companies use the latest tools, hottest IP, and newest technologies. Risks are multiplied when designers are forced to become early adopters of many of these technologies at the same time. Intrinsix team members are seasoned professionals who know how to minimize the risk of adopting new technologies.

Depth and Breadth of Experience

By selectively hiring and employing a very diverse, talented group of design engineers, Intrinsix has created a broad base of experience. However, unlike many outsourcing companies, Intrinsix has focused its' staff development on what we term the diamond model. By deploying a more experienced team on each project, we assure customer project success. Average experience level in our engineering staff is over 17 years.

Our teams have the added benefit of segment leaders: Intrinsix employees who are recognized experts in creating platforms for vertical markets such as wireless, networking and digital media. We also have segment leaders in each of our processes for horizontal domains including ASIC design, mixed-signal, SoC integration, embedded software and others.

Collaborative Teams

All of our design centers are connected to one another over a high-speed intranet. Project managers and developers collaborate using state-of-the-art design collaboration environments designed to support complex electronic product design flows. Intrinsix continued investment in collaboration infrastructures provides our customers with the benefit of immediate availability to experts tailored to their specific project needs. Over 50% of our projects involve collaboration between design centers including the design centers of our customers.

Project Management

Since the company's inception, Intrinsix has successfully completed over 650 ASIC, ASSP, SoC designs largely by developing and then embracing project management disciplines and procedures. The hallmarks of this process include:

• Agreeing to requirements and deliverables before work is begun

• Establishing and maintaining an open communication process

• Understanding the commitments required between business partners and devoting efforts to assure that neither party is left waiting for solutions from the other

• Establishing milestones and driving progress to meet interim success points

Most importantly, Intrinsix views every engagement as a partnership rather than a customer-vendor relationship. When our customers and we successfully bring products to market, on time and within budgets, both parties win.

inFusion Partners

In order to design electronic products for our customers that meet performance goals and end-user price points, we bring to bear all of the know-how and intellectual property of Intrinsix coupled with best-in-class technologies, tools, and intellectual property of our growing list of business partners. We partner with IP suppliers, EDA tool vendors, top-tier ASIC and Customer Owned Tooling (COT) foundries and electronic manufacturing service (EMS) firms to provide a complete, low risk path from product concept development all the way to implementation and volume production.
