The facility serves as Emerson’s NI Software Center of Excellence and is the company’s second largest test and measurement R&D center worldwide. Engineering teams in Bangalore develop and support key test software platforms, AI-enabled capabilities, systems engineering technologies and RF test software serving global customers across semiconductor, aerospace and defense, transportation, life sciences, industrial manufacturing and research and academia. The expansion further strengthens the site’s evolution from a global capability center into a global test and measurement innovation center with global product responsibility.

“Bangalore plays an increasingly strategic role in Emerson’s global test innovation network,” said Ritu Favre, president of Emerson’s Test & Measurement business. “The site combines deep expertise in test software and AI-enabled engineering and validation technologies with close connections to rapidly evolving industries. This investment helps customers manage growing product complexity, streamline validation and bring new innovations to market faster.”

As test systems become increasingly software-driven and AI-enabled, engineers must validate more complex products within shorter development cycles. The expanded Bangalore hub will provide additional capacity to advance automated validation workflows, AI-enabled test engineering and integrated test and measurement platforms for customers worldwide.

India’s continued growth in semiconductors, electric mobility, aerospace and defense is also increasing demand for sophisticated testing and validation. Market development associated with initiatives such as the India Semiconductor Mission and the National Electric Mobility Mission Plan creates opportunities for companies developing, manufacturing and validating new technologies. Emerson is responding to these evolving market needs by expanding its test and measurement R&D capabilities and strengthening its connection to customers and engineering talent in India.

Emerson operates two test and measurement locations in Bangalore: the R&D center and a second site providing application engineering, calibration, sales and customer support. Together, the locations connect global technology development with local market expertise.
