Dr. Sherwani will serve as an advisor to facilitate ASIC deployment at Spirit. Spirit’s legacy of distributing high-value components to Tier 1 and Tier 2 defense contractors and New Space satellite programs is making headway in ASIC design with distinct access to Texas Instruments and other domestic wafer foundry services. Spirit is committed to providing Made in the USA ASICs that provide legacy replacement and advanced solutions, along with assembly and test, producing secure products that are vital to our National Security and continued availability of end-of-life chips.
What Dr. Sherwani brings to the Spirit team is a demonstrated track record of delivering turnkey ASICs to the marketplace, which Spirit will leverage to offer solutions in product design and application-specific products for our customers. This enables our Aerospace and Defense customer base to secure their supply chain, control costs and ensure a life cycle that adapts to their needs.
Dr. Sherwani’s engagement will give Spirit a strong offering and wide solutions in digital, RF and mixed-signal designs with US-based foundry services, assembly and test. Dr. Sherwani has over 300 designs in his portfolio and continues to provide cutting-edge solutions in the ASIC design world. The tools that he brings to the party empower ASIC designers with efficiency and effectiveness to bring leading-edge technology to the forefront for the A&D market. “Time and resources are saved, design errors are mitigated, and the outcome is nothing short of optimized excellence,” says Dr. Sherwani of existing capabilities. “Our in-house fabric and IP portfolio reduces the overall design cost for ASICs, accelerates customer designs and enhances design compatibility for an unparalleled level of performance and flexibility.”
“Spirit is thrilled to be partnered with the proven heritage that Dr. Sherwani brings,” says Spirit CEO Marti McCurdy. “With all of our other offerings under one umbrella, adding Naveed as an advisor for ASIC solutions, we say let it rain.” Spirit operates as a Veteran-owned company and employs numerous veterans from all branches.
