1. Technology overview
Tessolve is a semiconductor engineering services company founded in Bangalore, India, in 2004 and part of Hero Electronix. It gives chip companies and system makers a single partner across the semiconductor value chain, from chip architecture to packaged and tested parts, with over 3,000 engineers in India, the US, Germany, the UK, Singapore and Malaysia.
On the pre-silicon side it covers analog and mixed-signal design, RTL design, design verification, DFT, physical design, FPGA emulation and foundry porting. Post-silicon services include test engineering, product engineering, PCB design and manufacturing and package engineering, supported by labs for test, high-speed I/O, reliability and qualification, post-silicon validation, wireless and automotive software. It also offers embedded firmware, software and hardware design, and acquired German chip design firm Dream Chip Technologies.
2. Highlighted features & specifications
- Silicon design: analog, mixed-signal and RTL design with foundry porting.
- Verification and DFT: design verification, design-for-test and FPGA emulation.
- Physical design: implementation and sign-off on advanced nodes.
- Test and product engineering: ATE test program development and yield support.
- Engineering labs: test, HSIO, reliability, post-silicon validation, wireless and automotive software labs.
- Embedded systems: firmware, software, hardware and PCB design and manufacturing.
3. Potential application
A Vietnamese fabless startup can outsource test program development and qualification for its first production chip. An electronics manufacturer in Vietnam can engage the embedded and PCB teams for a new product board. A design centre can subcontract DFT or physical design peaks to the company's engineers.
4. Benefits
Chip companies can outsource design, verification, test program development and qualification to one partner instead of several. More than 1,000 test programs released and in-house labs reduce time spent setting up post-silicon validation. Offices in Singapore and Malaysia place engineering support in Southeast Asian time zones. Turnkey services can deliver from design to packaged parts.
5. Market trends & opportunities
Chip companies increasingly outsource design and test engineering to specialised service providers as complexity grows and talent remains scarce. Southeast Asia, with Malaysia's back-end ecosystem and Vietnam's expanding chip design workforce, is a growing hub for these services. Supply chain diversification in electronics also raises demand for regional test and qualification capacity.
6. Other information
Founded in 2004 in Bangalore, India; a Hero Electronix venture. Over 3,000 engineers with offices in India, the US, Germany, the UK, Singapore and Malaysia. Raised USD 150 million from TPG Growth in September 2025. Acquired Dream Chip Technologies of Germany.
