Νέο κέντρο ανάπτυξης και έρευνας Garmin Tulsa (GPS maker Garmin opens Tulsa research, development facility )

Σε συνέχεια της δημιουργίας εξειδικευμένων κέντρων έρευνας και ανάπτυξης για κάθε ομάδα των προιόντων της, η GARMIN προχώρησε στο άνοιγμα κέντρου  για την ανάπτυξη λογισμικού και υλικού για τα προϊόντα της θάλασσας στην Tulsa. Το κέντρο είναι ήδη σε λειτουργία και θα απασχολεί 15 άτομα, και θα  είναι πλήρως λειτουργικό μέχρι το τέλος του καλοκαιριού.
Υπενθυμίζουμε οτι είναι το επόμενο εξειδικευμένο κέντρο μετά το Garmin Wurzburg.




 



The office, which moved into a building at 4500 S. Garnett Road, is already operational and will eventually employ 15 people, said Ted Gartner, director of corporate communications for Olathe, Kan.-based Garmin International Inc.

Gartner said Garmin International operates more than a dozen small R&D facilities across the country, ranging in size from 10 to 300 employees, in order to find skilled workers.

"It's important to expand our ability to attract engineers where they're already located," he said.

Mike Neal, president and CEO of the Tulsa Metro Chamber, praised the company's decision.

"Northeast Oklahoma continues to attract industry-leading firms across many sectors, and we are thrilled that Garmin has chosen the Tulsa region as a location for its growing operations," he said. "We look forward to continued growth and success from this tremendous company."

The Tulsa facility will focus on developing software and hardware for marine products, Gartner said. Garmin sells a wide variety of devices for boats, including "chartplotter" navigation devices, radios, cameras and fish finders.

"We've been heavily involved in that industry since our beginning in 1989," he said.

Gartner said he expects the Tulsa location to be fully operational by the end of the summer.

Garmin International is a subsidiary of Schaffhausen, Switzerland-based Garmin Ltd., a worldwide operator.

The Tulsa office is currently advertising online for three jobs - two senior design engineers and a senior engineering technician. Salary ranges were not listed.
