Network-on-chip IP and SoC software for semiconductor design automation
Arteris supplies interconnect IP and SoC integration software to chip designers at major technology companies. The tech stack reveals a hardware-focused engineering operation: SystemC, Verilog, SystemVerilog, and Cadence/Synopsys dominate, paired with verification frameworks (UVM) and deployment tools (OpenShift, Jenkins). Active projects span CI/integration, timing analysis, and testbench generation—indicating deep investment in automating the physical design and verification loops that traditionally bottleneck SoC development. The hiring composition is heavily weighted toward engineering (68% of active roles), with senior and staff engineers driving the work, suggesting mature technical complexity and a design-systems mindset.
Arteris (Nasdaq: AIP) is a semiconductor IP vendor founded in 2004 and headquartered in Campbell, California. The company develops network-on-chip interconnect IP, system-on-chip (SoC) integration software, and hardware security tools used by major technology firms to reduce design complexity, lower power consumption, and accelerate time-to-market. The product portfolio spans automotive, 5G, networking, IoT, enterprise computing, and machine learning applications. With 201–500 employees distributed across the US, France, South Korea, Poland, Japan, and China, Arteris operates a geographically distributed engineering operation focused on both product development and customer integration support.
Cadence, Synopsys, and Mentor Graphics are core to the stack. The company also uses Siemens tools and custom verification frameworks (UVM, SystemC, Verilog, SystemVerilog).
Current projects include CI integration, physical implementation flows, NoC timing analysis, testbench generation, register bank compilation, and IP verification frameworks. The roadmap includes product direction definition and emerging accounting standards adoption.
