Again about Micron's Bracknell Center Expansion

This time from Electronicsweekly:

"The size of the development team in Bracknell has doubled in size in the last 12 months and now totals 64 people.

According to David Burrows, head of the Bracknell development centre, further expansion of the project design teams will see the headcount grow to around 90 people by the middle of the year.
According to Burrows, the intention now is to develop sensor products for specific emerging markets.

"One reason we are growing the design team here is to support these new markets, such as rear-view mirror sensors in cars and a medical application which could include a swallowable device,” said Burrows.

The design centre is home to two product design groups working on sensors and camera-on-a-chip devices. It also creates semiconductor IP for use in a range of Micron products.

Burrows believes the experienced engineers he requires will be available in the UK, but he also expects to look worldwide for hard-to-find skills such as analogue design.

The US firm has had a development team in the UK since the late 1990s, originally involved in memory and logic product development. In the past three years it has built up expertise in CMOS imager technology and timing circuits."
