Overview: Tensilica is a private, venture-capital financed semiconductor intellectual property company headquartered in Santa Clara, CA. Tensilica licenses configurable and extensible embedded processor technology to the leading system and integrated circuit suppliers of the world. In August 2003 Tensilica decided to explore low-cost, offshore engineering resources to supplement the engineering team in Santa Clara. Tensilica started an offshore development center in Pune, India in November 2004. This paper describes the philosophy of Tensilica's approach to off shoring, the models they explored, how they chose the work to offshore, the costs they were aware of (and those that they discovered), the opportunities and challenges they have faced and what they have learned so far in this ongoing process.
