We build custom software for semiconductor companies, including proof-of-concepts, customer portals, and internal tools.
Customer Reviews
I was astonished that, in such a short period of time, something that other companies had taken months to understand, this company was able to execute. Since then, we have never looked anywhere else. I would never consider another company. This is how much we believe in them.
The other agencies we looked at, frankly, wanted to tell us how great they were. Sembit instead asked a lot of probing questions and provided the kind of consultation that really made us comfortable in hiring them.
It's been excellent every step of the way. The initial conversations were excellent — we had an instant human connection. In addition to being professional, they also had a human touch that's irreplicable.
I've really loved working with them. Sembit always delivers what they say they're going to deliver, in the time they say they'll deliver it. Whenever we have a deadline for a task delivery, the team gives us detailed and frequent updates about their progress. It's been a great partnership.
Sembit's team really took on the mindset of our business which resulted in a better product with thoughtful decisions from developers. We have been able to have healthy discussions about the pros and cons of a design choices which ultimately makes a better product in the long run.
Sembit has over-delivered on their promises at every step of the process. They've come in ahead of schedule and below budget, and they let us know if we are asking for too much. They are clear communicators, and it made a world of difference for our company.
These are the situations that most often bring semiconductor teams to us: customer portals, proof-of-concept use cases, product selectors, and internal tracking systems.
When a defect is found, the right people need to know quickly and trust what they are told. We build defect and quality tracking systems with fast, authoritative reporting.
Rambus: Faster Issue Notifications
Rambus supplies its customers with Verilog source code packages, and when an issue is found in shipped code, customers need to be notified clearly and quickly. The system behind those notifications had become slow. Sembit partnered with Rambus to optimize the notification system. By streamlining the core query path and indexing strategy, Sembit shrank end-to-end report generation from about 20 seconds to about 1 second.
Rambus partnered with Sembit to optimize its bug-notification system, shrinking report generation from 20 seconds to 1 second and giving engineers a single, authoritative report backed by automated comparisons.
An Augmented Reality Proof of Concept
As video meetings surged in popularity, one semiconductor manufacturer's research team wanted to explore augmented reality in that context. Before investing heavily, they needed a practical way to test the concept with real users and understand what was promising and what was not.
Sembit built an interactive, web-based proof of concept that let an experimenter simulate live background adjustments and a shared whiteboard during a video meeting. This provided a way to user-test the idea and gather the feedback needed to decide how to invest in the technology.
Customer asked Sembit to build an augmented reality proof of concept for video meetings, letting researchers user-test live background adjustments and a shared whiteboard to decide how to invest in the technology.
Product Selector
One semiconductor company needed a client-side plugin for their public web site to allow customers to drill down on various product attributes to identify which product they needed. Sembit migrated business logic from the source spreadsheets into an easily deployed package that fit within their web site's CMS.
Playground
Efficient Computer has created a ground-breaking energy-efficient processor that can run arbitrary C code using very low power. To demonstrate this, Sembit created a web-based C playground that can accept arbitrary C programs and compile them using Efficient Computer's custom compiler, then display a trace of the program's flow in a visual manner as instructions are triggered on their chip.
Our Oregon Based Semiconductor Software Team

Average Years Experience per Employee
Sembit's Oregon-based team is well-suited for semiconductor software because this work rewards exactly what our engineers do best: handling complex, high-volume data with precision, and building reliable tools that engineering teams can trust. Semiconductor environments are full of specialized instruments, large data sets, and demanding performance requirements, and we are comfortable across that landscape.
Being based in Oregon, we are close to a strong semiconductor community and the kinds of engineering teams this work serves. We have partnered with leading companies in the space, from proof-of-concept research tools to performance optimization of critical systems.
Semiconductor clients also benefit from our long-term support model. These tools and systems are relied on by engineers every day, and they need steady attention as requirements evolve. Clients appreciate working with a stable group of experienced developers who learn their systems and respond quickly when something needs to change.
That matters here, where a slow report or an untrustworthy tool costs valuable engineering time and erodes confidence. We help teams avoid that by staying close to the entire workflow, not just the code. Whether the project is a proof of concept, a data pipeline, a defect tracking system, or a performance optimization, our team can design, build, support, and improve it over time.

We target slow queries, inefficient data access, and bottlenecks in critical systems.
We build reporting that engineers can rely on, including single sources of truth backed by automated comparison frameworks, so teams trust what a system tells them instead of double-checking by hand.
We turn research concepts into interactive prototypes that real users can test, giving teams a practical basis for deciding how and whether to invest in a new technology.
We automate repetitive engineering tasks to streamline operations.
We build SDKs and integrations that connect internal applications and data systems, so capabilities and data flow where they are needed rather than staying locked in silos.
We build tools meant to be used every day and supported for years, on dependable foundations, so the systems engineering teams rely on stay fast and trustworthy over time.
