Welcome to Imagination Technologies
Technology surrounds us: in our phones, laptops and personal media players; in our offices, homes and cars. For over a decade Imagination Technologies has been enabling this technology with unique, patented semiconductor intellectual property (IP) cores for multimedia and communication.


Developed by our Technology division, Imagination’s IP lies at the heart of the latest advanced consumer products. The majority of top semiconductor companies licence our IP, using it in advanced system-on-chip (SoC) devices which they sell to the world’s leading consumer electronics companies. These SoCs are used in products like mobile phones, personal media players, TVs, car navigation systems and mobile internet devices (MID).


Our PURE Digital division produces a range of consumer electronics products that incorporate and promote our technologies. PURE is the world leader in DAB digital and connected radios.


"I first became aware of Imagination when I saw a presentation they gave at Southampton University. When I discovered there were design engineering positions available I was quick to apply, satisfying my ambition to work for an innovative industry-leading organization."

A word from the CEO
Seventeen years ago I imagined a semiconductor intellectual property (IP) licensing business. Now most top consumer electronics brands use our technologies and there’s a very good chance that you own one or more products that are powered by Imagination.

Our multimedia and communications semiconductor IP cores are at the heart of today's most innovative and exciting consumer electronics products. Licensed by leading semiconductor manufacturers, they’re used in the highly complex System-on-Chip (SoC) devices that make today’s consumer electronics more sophisticated than ever before.

Imagination Technologies is a global organisation employing over 550 people worldwide. This success has been made possible by an exceptional team: a team who do difficult things well.

As you consider embarking on a career in this fascinating industry, I hope this brochure will give you an idea of what working at Imagination is like and whether it might be right for you.

Our graduates, and the talent and creativity they bring, are a cornerstone of our activities. If you’re excited by Imagination, we’d like to hear from you.
