What Jariet Tech does
Jariet Technologies is a fabless semiconductor company founded in 2015 by Charles Harper (CEO) and Craig Hornbuckle (CTO), headquartered in Redondo Beach, California. The company designs and sells direct RF-sampling high-speed data converter transceivers under the ELECTRA family, built on GlobalFoundries 12nm LP FinFET CMOS and operating at up to 64 GSPS across 100 MHz to 36 GHz (VHF to Ka-band). The portfolio includes 2T2R variants (Electra-MA/MK/MX) and 4T4R variants (Electra-QA/QK/QX), supplemented by the MX2 evaluation board, die/chiplet offerings for multi-chip modules, and licensable Kern IP for integration into customer ASICs. The technology replaces traditional analog RF chains with software-defined digital processing, reducing SWaP-C while enabling multi-band, multi-function operation in microseconds.
Jariet serves defense, aerospace, and commercial customers across satellite communications, electronic warfare, radar, 5G/6G wireless, test and measurement, and quantum computing. Its ICs are integrated into SOSA-aligned 3U OpenVPX modules and FMC boards by partners including Annapolis Micro Systems and D&P Electronic Systems, and the company holds a technology partnership with Renesas Electronics and a foundry/IP alliance membership with Intel Foundry Accelerator (joined April 2025). The company employs 80+ professionals and sells through a combination of direct enterprise sales, regional sales representatives across the Americas, EMEA (including a Swiss subsidiary, Jariet International, added in 2025), and Asia-Pacific, plus third-party board partners.
Revenue is generated from hardware sales (packaged ICs, die/chiplets, evaluation boards) and IP licensing (Kern IP royalties). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; quotes are handled through direct sales contact. The company is privately held, founder-led, with no disclosed institutional investors or parent company, and has not publicly reported revenue figures. Notable leadership includes alumni of Semtech, Broadcom, Marvell, GlobalFoundries, IBM Microelectronics, and Intersil/Renesas.

Jariet Tech competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Analog Devices: Analog Devices is the dominant merchant supplier of high-speed data converters (ADCs/DACs) and RF ICs, with a broad portfolio across defense, aerospace, instrumentation, and communications. Jariet competes directly with ADI's high-speed converter family (e.g., AD9213S, AD9084) on speed, NSD, and integration.
- Texas Instruments: Texas Instruments is the largest analog and mixed-signal IC vendor, with high-speed data converters and RF transceivers competing directly against Jariet's Electra family in defense, radar, EW, and test & measurement. TI's scale, internal fabs, and broad catalog are the primary competitive benchmark for Jariet.
- Microchip Technology: Microchip offers high-speed data converters and RF/mixed-signal ICs (including legacy Microsemi products) targeting defense, aerospace, and industrial applications. It is a direct competitor in the same end-markets and customer programs as Jariet, particularly in radiation-tolerant and high-reliability converters.
- MaxLinear: MaxLinear is a fabless RF, analog, and mixed-signal IC company focused on broadband communications, including high-speed data converters used in cable, wireless backhaul, and defense. It is a comparable fabless competitor pursuing similar software-defined radio architectures across overlapping end-markets.
Broad incumbents
- Teledyne Technologies (Teledyne e2v): Teledyne e2v is a long-established supplier of high-speed data converters for defense, space, and scientific instrumentation. While Teledyne is a much broader conglomerate, its e2v semiconductor division competes head-to-head with Jariet's Electra family in space-grade and EW-grade ADCs/DACs.
- Renesas Electronics: Renesas is both a Jariet strategic partner (Oct 2022) and a broad-line mixed-signal/RF supplier through its IDT and Intersil acquisitions. It overlaps with Jariet in wireless transceivers and timing products while also providing a distribution channel for Jariet's direct RF-sampling technology.
- Semtech: Semtech is a broad-line mixed-signal and RF semiconductor company with heritage in wireless transceivers (via Sierra Monolithics, Jariet CEO Harper's prior company). It competes in portions of Jariet's addressable market and represents the most direct prior-exit pathway for Jariet-style technology.
- Mercury Systems: Mercury Systems designs mission-critical defense electronics, including RF and microwave subsystems that often incorporate high-speed data converters. It is both a potential customer/board partner (similar to Annapolis Micro Systems) and a competing system integrator in defense EW, radar, and signal intelligence markets.
- Broadcom: Broadcom is a broad-line RF and mixed-signal IC supplier serving wireless infrastructure, data center, and broadband markets. It is a relevant incumbent comparable for Jariet's wireless and broadband ambitions, though its portfolio extends well beyond Jariet's narrow focus on direct RF-sampling transceivers.
Emerging players
- Epirus: Epirus is a venture-backed defense technology company building software-defined, high-power RF systems for electronic warfare and counter-electronics. While Epirus operates at the system level (not the IC level), it is an adjacent emerging player addressing the same EW end-market with software-defined architectures that depend on high-speed data conversion.
