Company profile
researched Aug 2026indie Semiconductor develops high-performance mixed-signal semiconductor silicon and accompanying software aimed at automotive megatrends, organized around driver safety and automation (ADAS), in-cabin user experience and vehicle electrification. Within ADAS, the portfolio spans vision processing, radar, LiDAR and ultrasonic sensing; in-cabin and body electronics offerings cover interior and exterior lighting, power, charging and interfacing, and high-speed data transport.
The company also operates a photonics business supplying components, light sources and integrated solutions for LiDAR, navigation and sensing. This includes ultrafast lasers, narrow-linewidth semiconductor lasers, visible laser diodes, EXALOS SLEDs and SLED modules, integrated optic modules, benchtop light sources, and fiber optic components such as high-precision optical filters, chromatic dispersion management products, fiber laser components, laser cavity reflectors, wavelength lockers, mode-locked oscillator output couplers and pulse stretchers. A radar sensors and systems unit provides radar modules, evaluation kits and supporting tools for vehicle safety, industrial mobility and adjacent radar-enabled sensing. A perception software line addresses driver monitoring, driver and occupant monitoring, and shuttle passenger monitoring, alongside internal innovation and research projects.
Business model
The company sells semiconductor products, photonic components and light sources, radar sensors and systems, and perception software, supported by evaluation kits, technical resources and solution partners for customer designs.
Latest developments
In May 2026 the company announced an agreement to acquire the CMOS image sensor product line from ams OSRAM. It reported second quarter 2026 results in August 2026. It has also acquired emotion3D, per a press release referenced on its site, and in August 2026 its visible DFB lasers for scalable quantum photonics architectures were covered in a Laser Focus World article.
