Compiled by Dean Takahashi / Times staff writer
Taking advantage of inexpensive engineering talent in the former Soviet Union, Rockwell International Corp. has opened a telecommunications technical center in Moscow in partnership with a Silicon Valley firm.
Rockwell said the center will employ 12 engineers who will do research in various fields of telecommunications design. Rockwell’s telecommunications businesses include making sophisticated switching devices for communications networks and modem chips for personal computers.
The company said the center could grow to as many as 50 engineers this year. Rockwell, based in Seal Beach, will operate the center in partnership with Gambit Automated Design in Santa Clara.
