With the merger of the Cadence and Design Group teams, Atlanta will become a major regional office for the firm.

“We are excited about the growth opportunities presented to Cadence as part of the Design Group,” stated Hank Brink, founder and CEO of Cadence Technologies. “We already provide engineering services on a national basis, but our alignment with Design Group’s existing process organization will provide us much greater capability to serve our clients.”
