Rydev is proud to announce its admission into SEMI and the Electronic System Design Alliance (ESDA), a SEMI Technology Coalition. The appointment was formally announced in SEMI’s official press release on July 31, 2026 [available here], alongside executive appointments to the ESDA Governing Council and fellow emerging industry leaders. 

This milestone marks a significant step for our organization and represents a historic moment for the local technology sector: Rydev is officially the first Costa Rican-based company to join SEMI, reinforcing Costa Rica’s growing role within the global semiconductor ecosystem. 

Why Joining SEMI and the ESD Alliance? 

Joining the ESD Alliance integrates Rydev directly into the decision-making hubs of the global semiconductor industry. This membership translates into tangible benefits for our client base: 

• Standard Alignment & Interoperability: Rydev aligns its engineering methodologies, verification frameworks, and signoff workflows with the latest industry standard procedures and foundry rules long before tape-out. 

• Risk Mitigation & First-Silicon Success: Sitting at the same table as global Electronic Design Automation (EDA) leaders, foundry representatives, and IP providers ensure that our “first-silicon” philosophy is embedded across every project. 

• Client Value & Speed to Market: Our partners gain absolute design certainty, shorter development cycles, and the assurance of working with a vetted technical ally engaged at the forefront of IC design evolution. 

Rydev’s Contribution to SEMI and the Global Ecosystem 

As an ASIC design house delivering end-to-end VLSI engineering services across advanced nodes, down to 3nm, Rydev brings deep technical expertise and unique regional insights to the alliance: 

• Technical Collaboration: Rydev is now enabled to actively engage and participate in ESDA working groups, standards committees, and member initiatives focused on digital design, UVM-based verification, custom analog/mixed-signal IC design, and high-speed signal/power integrity analysis. 

• A Bridge for Nearshore Semiconductor Talent: Operating across engineering hubs in Costa Rica, Argentina, Uruguay and USA, Rydev offers a high-caliber nearshore delivery model. We bring a valuable Latin American perspective to SEMI’s global supply chain and workforce initiatives, supporting the broader mission to bridge critical engineering skill gaps worldwide. 

Looking Ahead 

As the industry advances into complex multi-die architectures, agentic AI-driven design workflows, and sub-3nm nodes, active collaboration within SEMI ensures that Rydev remains at the cutting edge of electronic system design. 

We look forward to collaborating with fellow SEMI and ESDA members to shape the future of chip design and propel the global electronics supply chain forward.
