Rohde & Schwarz announced the launch of a new AI/ML Design Center and preparations for the next step towards chip design within its existing Bengaluru facility, bringing dedicated artificial intelligence, machine learning, and future chip design capability to the campus for the first time.
The announcement was made by Christian Leicher, President & CEO of Rohde & Schwarz. The expansion will add a specialized space focused on artificial intelligence, machine learning, and advanced chipset design, and is expected to create several new hi-tech roles over the next 2 – 3 years.
The center reflects Rohde & Schwarz’s own “Make in India, for the world” approach to technology development — drawing on the country’s deep pool of AI/ML and semiconductor engineering talent to design AI/ML solutions and chips in India for the company’s global business.

Solutions designed by engineers in Bengaluru will support Rohde & Schwarz products across divisions worldwide, positioning India not just as a market the company serves, but as a source of engineering for its global product line. This expansion adds to Rohde & Schwarz India’s growing team of over 500 employees.
Addressing during its official event, Christian Leicher President & CEO Rohde & Schwarz, said, “India is a key part of our long-term global strategy. With this expansion, we’re investing directly in the country’s exceptional young talent in AI, machine learning, and semiconductor design — talent we believe will shape our technology roadmap for years to come.”
The expansion builds on the company’s established engineering presence in Bengaluru, one of the company’s two R&D centers in India alongside New Delhi, both focused on advanced wireless communication, test and measurement, and secure communication solutions. With the new AI/ML Design Center and preparations for chip design activities, Bengaluru adds silicon-level design capability to its existing R&D work, bringing chip development and systems engineering closer together on the same campus.
This strengthens a portfolio that already spans Rohde & Schwarz India‘s core businesses. The company is an end-to-end test and measurement solutions provider, serving customers across Aerospace & Defense, Wireless Communications, Automotive, semiconductor and industrial electronics manufacturing, and research and educational institutions.
Its Technology Systems portfolio extends this expertise to government, regulatory authorities, and armed forces — spanning radiomonitoring systems for signal detection and direction finding, secure and jam-resistant communications for defense and air traffic control, and AI-based security scanners using microwave imaging technology for aviation and critical-infrastructure screening.
