A young company. A team that’s been doing this for two decades.
Harmonie Design Labs was founded in 2022 to bring IDM-grade semiconductor design to the industries least likely to get it, the ones whose volumes are too small to interest a major manufacturer, and whose operating conditions are too severe for anything off the shelf.
In Harmonie, we work in harmony!
We are a team of people from different cultures, disciplines, and countries. That is what makes us stronger. We discuss, collaborate, and challenge ideas - again and again. Each of us brings unique knowledge, experience, and perspective shaped by our individual backgrounds, and together we create something greater than the sum of us as individuals.
This is who we are. This is how we choose to work. We move fast, we are diverse, and we are in Harmonie.
Designed in Europe
At Harmonie Design Labs, Designed in Europe is more than a statement of origini it reflects our commitment to engineering excellence, uncompromising quality, and long-term value. Guided by European principles of innovation, integrity, and collaboration, we develop reliable semiconductor solutions while maintaining the highest quality standards, strong intellectual property protection, compliance with EU regulations, and trusted, long-term partnerships with our customers and suppliers.
Our Mission
We design mixed-signal silicon that holds its specification where standard components are no longer rated - so the electronics are not the part of the system that decides how deep it goes, how hot it runs, or how long it stays there.
Our Vision
Today they derate components past their published limits, wrap protection around a measurement until it degrades the measurement, or accept that the system cannot be built. We are working toward a catalogue of high-temperature devices that can be specified the way any other component is - with characterised numbers, across the full envelope, without an asterisk. Ignis™ is where that starts.
Part of the Valencian silicon ecosystem.
Harmonie Design Labs is a member of the Valencia Silicon Cluster (VaSiC), the industry association that brings together the microelectronics and integrated photonics companies, technology centres and universities working in the Comunitat Valenciana.
Membership keeps our design work connected to the wider regional ecosystem — shared technical events, proximity to research groups, and a common voice in European semiconductor policy.
A design house built around one hard problem
Harmonie Design Labs is a fabless semiconductor company founded in 2022. We design mixed-signal integrated circuits for environments where temperature, pressure or ignition risk rules out standard components — downhole tooling, industrial process measurement, energy infrastructure and safety-critical instrumentation.
Most integrated circuits are specified for a commercial or automotive temperature range and quietly derated long before they reach it. That leaves a gap: systems that have to work at 150, 175 or 200 °C either get built from parts operating outside their published limits, or they do not get built at all.
Being fabless is a deliberate choice rather than a constraint. It means the process for each design is selected for what the application actually needs, not for what a single fab happens to offer. It also means our engineering effort goes into architecture, verification and characterisation — the parts of the work that determine whether a device holds specification when it matters.
What We Build?
Our work takes two forms, and they feed each other.
Custom Silicon
We take custom high-temperature ICs from an initial requirements discussion through to characterised, production-ready parts: architecture definition, analog and digital design, verification, physical implementation, tape-out coordination and lab validation.
The Ignis™ Family
Ignis™ is our own family of high-temperature integrated circuits, built on the same platform we use for customer work — a RISC-V processor rated to 200 °C and a TDC-based resistance-to-digital converter for hazardous environments.
Nothing is handed off, and nothing is extrapolated.
Four commitments we made early, because each one is expensive to add later. Together they decide how a project runs, and where the numbers on the datasheet come from.
Specification before architecture
The operating envelope is agreed before a block diagram exists. Temperature, lifetime and the standard you are qualifying against are inputs to the design, not things discovered during characterisation.
Measured, not extrapolated
Performance figures come from characterisation across the full envelope. Where a parameter drifts with temperature, we characterise the drift and publish it rather than hiding behind a typical-only specification.
One team, whole flow
Architecture, design, verification and lab validation stay with the same people. Nothing is handed across an organisational boundary at the point where context matters most.
Direct engineering contact
The engineer who answers your question is the engineer who made the decision. There is no support tier between you and the design.
The Management Team
A management team that came up through IC design, verification and validation.
Faik Coskunsu
Alongside his role as Managing Director, Faik is a co-founder of Harmonie Design Labs, SL. He brings more than 20 years of experience in the electronics and semiconductor industries. Before joining Harmonie Design Labs, he held various engineering and management positions at global companies, including ams OSRAM. His expertise spans complex IC design, technical leadership, and project management, with particular specialization in time-to-digital converter (TDC) technologies. Faik holds an MSc in Microelectronics from the University of Freiburg, Germany, and is a co-inventor of several European and international patents.
