A Message from Our CEO & Founder

At EnSilica, our culture is fundamental to who we are and how we operate. It underpins how we design and supply complex silicon, how we work together across our global teams, and how we build long-term relationships with our customers and partners.

I firmly believe that great engineering is built on trust, honesty and teamwork, supported by continuous learning. We work hard to foster an environment where people feel respected, supported and empowered to do their best work. Openness and integrity matter to us — we encourage people to speak up, share ideas and raise concerns, knowing they will be listened to and treated fairly.

We promote a friendly, collaborative and supportive culture, operating a no-blame approach that focuses on learning from mistakes and continuously improving, rather than assigning fault. This is essential when working on complex, safety-critical technologies where transparency and honesty are key to doing things right.

Quality is at the heart of everything we do. We care deeply about doing a good job, taking pride in delivering high-integrity solutions that meet the demanding standards of our customers and markets, and that are right first time.

We maintain an open-door culture where ideas, feedback and different viewpoints are welcomed at all levels of the organisation. My door, and those of the wider leadership team, are always open.

We are also driven by a passion for technology. Many of our teams work on first-of-a-kind products, and I encourage everyone at EnSilica to stay curious and learn something new every day, supporting both personal growth and technical excellence.

This culture of trust, honesty and collaboration enables EnSilica to innovate responsibly, work effectively with our customers and partners, and deliver reliable solutions that truly stand the test of time.
