Nominations Open for Next Year’s Awards

A reminder that the nomination portal is open through Friday, May 30, for both the Phil Kaufman Award and the Phil Kaufman Hall of Fame sponsored by the Electronic System Design Alliance (ESD Alliance), a SEMI Technology Community, and the IEEE Council on Electronic Design Automation (CEDA).

The awards recognize individuals whose contributions made an impact within electronic system design (ESD) in business, industry direction, promotion, technology and engineering, educational or mentoring. Impartiality is provided to all nominees, without regard to race, gender, age or national origin.

Established in 1994, the Phil Kaufman Award honors individuals who have had a demonstrable impact on the field of electronic system design through technology innovations, education/mentoring, or business or industry leadership. The award was established as a tribute to Phil Kaufman, the late industry pioneer who turned innovative technologies into commercial businesses that have benefited electronic designers.

The Phil Kaufman Hall of Fame posthumously recognizes individuals who made significant and noteworthy contributions through creativity, entrepreneurism and innovation to the electronic system design industry and were not recipients of the Phil Kaufman Award.

Nomination forms are available now through Friday, May 30, 2025.
