Pace Micro to expand

Pace Micro Technology (Shipley, W. Yorkshire, UK), the world's largest manufacturer of digital decoders, is expanding its engineering team in response to increased business.

The UK manufacturer plans to add 40 hardware and software engineers over the next year in the US, based at Pace's US headquarters in Boca Raton, FL. Pace has increased its engineering team by 70% over the last 12 months and the company claims it has one of the largest engineering teams in the world developing digital set-top box technology. Pace plans to add at least another 150 engineers worldwide.

Pace is aggressively pursuing the US market and scored two major contracts with Time Warner Cable and Comcast, totaling over 1million digital set tops. Pace has about 1,000 employees worldwide.
