Semiconductor design and validation services for ASIC and embedded systems
Tessolve delivers pre-silicon design and post-silicon validation services for semiconductor and embedded product development. The stack reveals a classical EDA-heavy semiconductor shop: SystemVerilog, UVM, Synopsys, Cadence, and Xcelium dominate the validation layer, paired with C/C++ and Python for tooling and analysis. Active projects cluster around design-for-test (DFT), DDR/interface validation, and SoC verification — the engineering-dominant hiring mix (95% of open roles, heavily senior) reflects a services firm scaling validation capacity on complex silicon.
Notable leadership hires: Lead Engineer, RTL Design Lead, Design Lead, Technical Lead
Tessolve is a semiconductor engineering services company founded in 2004, headquartered in Bangalore with 3,500+ employees across India and the United States. The firm operates a turnkey model spanning pre-silicon design (ASIC, advanced process nodes) through post-silicon validation, test, and embedded ODM services. Core capabilities include VLSI design, design-for-test (DFT) architecture, silicon and system-level validation, and embedded systems across avionics, automotive, industrial, and medical segments. Tessolve works with nine of the top ten semiconductor companies and early-stage design teams, operating advanced silicon and system testing laboratories. The business model combines deep domain expertise in specialized verticals (5G, mmWave, silicon photonics, HBM/HPI) with integrated hardware and software engineering under project delivery or ODM arrangements.
SystemVerilog, UVM, C/C++, Python for core design and validation. EDA tools: Synopsys (VCS, IC Compiler, Tempus, Calibre), Cadence (Xcelium, Incisive, Innovus). Perl, Tcl, Bash for scripting. Hardware interfaces: PCIe, USB, Ethernet, I2C, UART, SerDes, NVMe, GPIO, AXI.
Post-silicon validation, SoC/ASIC design, DFT (design-for-test) ATPG implementation, DDR controller validation, scan/MBIST/LBIST/boundary scan integration, and audio validation frameworks. Current focus areas: timing closure, multi-die optimization, and test strategy from RTL to silicon.
