eInfochips is a 100% subsidiary of Arrow Electronics, a Fortune 500 firm headquartered in Centennial, CO. Arrow Electronics is a distributor and VAR of electronics components and computer hardware products. It acquired eInfochips in January 2018. At the time of the acquisition, eInfochips had 1,500 engineers. With eInfochips, Arrow wanted to expand its service portfolio to its clients, from providing electronics components to helping design its products. The acquisition by Arrow Electronics was also an opportunity to eInfochips, by getting access to Arrow's large client base (currently 180k).
Within eInfochips and its 2.3k engineers, Quality Engineering Services (QES) is a horizontal practice responsible for portfolio management, automation and accelerators, delivery and HR, and P&L.
QES had a headcount of 400 at the end of 2020. In addition, eInfochips had an additional 50 testers working in product engineering services.
QES has divided its testing service portfolio into three main categories:
- Connected product testing. While eInfochips has its background in providing product engineering QA, the company has also accompanied its clients, for instance, to projects related to mobile apps, web applications, cloud migration.
