Rising up to the challenge

After more than 20 years of working on innovative projects and in the constantly developing area of combined hardware and software solutions, Silicon Service has made an important change in its technological field. From ASIC design, developing new generations of graphics cards and Digital Design Verification, we’re now the only testing centre for integrated circuits from the Eastern Europe.

Silicon Service is aiming to conquer new markets, handle projects in it’s own well known way of delivering the best, the fastest and the most reliable service possible. Together with our partners and with a skilled team of professionals we’re confident that Silicon Service is now in a better position than ever.

We are still closely tied to local universities, as our doors are always open to students who come for courses and even become interns in our company. Some of them joined us in this new adventure and we’re developing our skills every day, together with them.

ENGINEER

A passionate chess player, awarded for his school projects and getting ready to complete his studies in Electronics, Andrei is a new member of the Silicon Service family where both hardware and software are at stake every day.

NARCIS PETRIȘOR

ENGINEER

Part of the group of students who have recently joined the Silicon Service team, Narcis is passionate about circuits, cabling and DIB microchips. He thinks that ATS, the new technology that our company is working on, will have a “strong contribution to the development of the future”

IONICA PLETEA

TECHNICAL MANAGER

After finishing her studies, Ionica started working with Silicon Service and has been doing so for the last 15 years. Also teaching at the University during this time, she is the link between our company and the students that we need to train and raise as true engineers. The fact that our company will soon become a unique testing center in this part of Europe makes her enthusiastic about the huge number of students that will want to work with us in the following years.

IULIAN CADARE

ENGINEER

Currently a student working on his graduate thesis in Electronics, he’s implementing AI and neural networks in video data processing. He has a heart for bringing his knowledge in front of the new hires. “In theory things should work in a certain way, but in practice it’s not always the same; so we’re testing to check how close the practice is to the theoretical side”

ILAN AVIV

CEO

Ilan is best described in his own words: I am a curious man, interested in technology and culture. Came here for a few-year task, fell in love in Romania and now it is for life.
