Fabless semiconductor design for automotive and robotics networking
Axonne designs high-speed networking silicon for in-vehicle and robotics applications, with a tech stack spanning analog/mixed-signal tools (Cadence, Synopsys, MATLAB/Simulink) and digital design (Verilog, SystemVerilog, FPGA). The company is actively building ASICs and next-generation physical-layer SoCs while managing supplier quality and manufacturing optimization—typical of early-stage fabless operations scaling from prototype to production. Engineering dominance (all 7 active hires) and a balanced mid/senior mix suggest execution focus on silicon bring-up and validation.
Axonne is a fabless semiconductor design company founded in 2018 and headquartered in San Jose, California. The company develops high-speed networking solutions—primarily Ethernet and SERDES-based architectures—for automotive and robotics platforms. Products enable in-vehicle connectivity, data transfer, and security, with a focus on supporting AI and machine-learning workloads via software-defined networking. The team operates at 11–50 employees with active engineering presence in the United States and Germany, currently working on ASIC design, silicon validation, and next-generation mixed-signal SoCs.
Axonne uses Python, C, C++ for firmware; Verilog, VHDL, SystemVerilog for design; Cadence Allegro, Synopsys, and Altium for layout and simulation; MATLAB/Simulink for DSP architecture; and Wireshark for protocol validation. I2C, UART, Ethernet, and SerDes are core networking protocols.
Axonne is developing ASIC designs for high-speed automotive networking, next-generation physical-layer and mixed-signal SoCs, silicon bring-up and validation tools, DSP architecture, and proof-of-concept demonstrators for customer engagement and trade shows.
