Cambourne based chip company Nujira has been shortlisted for two award categories at this year’s British Engineering Excellence Awards (BEEAs). Selected by a leading panel of CTOs and electronics engineers, the Nujira EasyET team was selected for the “Design Team of the Year” award, with Analogue IC Design Engineer Benoit Labbe receiving a separate nomination for the “Design Engineer of the Year”.
Now in their sixth year, the BEEAs were launched to celebrate UK companies and individuals that have shown a high level of skill, innovation and dedication to engineering on a national and international level. Judges for this year’s awards include Andrew Burrows - CTO of i20 Water, Andy Sellars – Lead technologist of TSB, and Ashley Evans – Director of electronics at TechUK.
Having entered the awards earlier in the year, Nujira was shortlisted as a result of its recent work on EasyET, a radical toolset designed to simplify the deployment and integration of Envelope Tracking chips.
By simplifying the firmware, characterisation and calibration requirements of RF front end components; EasyET is removing a significant pain point for OEMs and chipset vendors. This in turn is helping to open up the market, making Envelope Tracking a more attractive and cost-effective option for smartphone providers.
With Nujira’s team devoting over 50,000 person-hours to the development of EasyET, we were extremely excited to have been shortlisted and to have the team’s hard work and commitment recognised by the wider engineering community.
Award winners will be announced on Thursday 9th October. For more information on Nujira’s BEEAs entry, visit the company’s website.
