At the start of the year, SyncusTech planned to recruit a S/W engineer capable of covering total solutions, from S/W to H/W, and aggressively pushed forward, searching for an outstanding S/W engineer with international experience. Finally, SyncusTech has hired a foreign specialist with over 20 years of S/W, H/W, and F/W experience. The specialist will be able to cover total IT solutions through his various ODM and OEM projects with global companies. The R&D capability of SyncusTech will be strengthened by seizing these opportunities to add talent, as outlined below.

R&D Project : Xeon Platform


The development of the Xeon Platform is the most important R&D project at SyncusTech in 2016. Currently, Xeon’s control platform is dependent on import from Taiwan or elsewhere, so this R&D project is very meaningful for localization of development. To help accomplish this and build competitiveness in the industrial computer market, SyncusTech has hired a talented foreign specialist:

Existing R&D engineers:

Circuit design and Mock-up

Secure fundamental technology of control system as high level spec

  • Maximize I/O expansion: PCI express 3.0 x 16 slot, 1/10Giga Bit Ethernet, SATA 3.0, USB 3.0

Xeon level platform development localization

  • Design dual socket type using Intel Xeon E5 processor
  • Apply ECC DDR4 Memory technology

New Foreign Specialist:

S/W (BIOS) development

Intelligent control module development

  • Apply IPM function
  • Develop related S/W and F/W

Develop BIOS

Secure integrity of signal and power

  • Simulate signal integrity at beginning of circuit design step
  • Simulate integrity verification of main circuit power

Expected results from new specialist


SyncusTech’s newest addition is a Taiwanese engineer who has over 20 years experience in the major industrial computer market. The specialist brings a strong Taiwanese social network to the table, allowing SyncusTech to tap into Taiwan’s rich R&D infrastructure. By reinforcing its S/W development infrastructure with this new specialist, while still maintaining strength as a H/W provider, SyncusTech expects to strengthen R&D capability in the industrial control field as the Total Solution Provider. The new hire allows SyncusTech to:

Grow Revenue


Dominate domestic Xeon level controller market in advance
