Founded in 2008, Espressif has grown from a small team of wireless enthusiasts into a global force powering over 120 million connected devices annually.
To democratize wireless connectivity by designing chipsets that are powerful enough for enterprise IoT yet accessible enough for every maker, startup, and system integrator on the planet. We believe the best technology is the one that removes barriers — not creates them.
A world where every device is intelligently connected — where ambient computing is seamless, secure, and sustainable. We are building toward a future where wireless modules are as ubiquitous and invisible as the air they transmit through.
Six principles that guide every chip we design and every engineer we hire.
Our SDK, tools, and docs live in the open.
13% of revenue goes straight to R&D.
650+ engineers across 12 offices worldwide.
Hardware root of trust in every chip.
Ultra-low power for longer battery life.
500K+ developers shape our roadmap.
Founded in Shanghai by a team of wireless IC designers with backgrounds from Marvell and Realtek, focusing exclusively on Wi-Fi connectivity chipsets.
Released the ESP8266 — a $2 Wi-Fi module that became the catalyst for the maker and IoT developer movement, selling 10 million units within 18 months of launch.
Launched the ESP32 dual-core SoC with integrated Wi-Fi + Bluetooth, establishing the platform architecture that now powers the majority of our product line.
Listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE: 688018), raising capital to expand R&D into RISC-V and AI inference silicon.
Shipped first production RISC-V wireless SoC (ESP32-C3), transitioning from licensed ARM cores to fully in-house processor design.
Achieved Matter 1.0 certification — among the first chipset vendors globally — and surpassed 100 million cumulative modules shipped.
We are always looking for curious minds who want to push the boundaries of IoT connectivity. Explore open positions across hardware, firmware, and AI.
