Microsemi Corporation (Nasdaq: MSCC), a leading provider of semiconductor solutions differentiated by power, security, reliability and performance, today announced it is the recipient of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) ‘Supplier Trust and Recognition Award’ for the company’s outstanding Electro Static Discharge (ESD) and Foreign Object Debris (FOD) quality control programs, underscoring Microsemi’s commitment to maintaining the highest quality standards across all its product lines. As the representative for all NASA sites, U.S. government agencies, and their key suppliers and customers, Joint Audit Planning Committee (JAPC) in collaboration with JPL’s Procurement Quality Assurance department presented the award to Microsemi during a ceremony at the company’s San Jose, California facility.

“We are truly humbled by this honor from JPL, as this validates Microsemi’s legacy of quality assurance and our team’s commitment to providing exceptional processes for our product development, manufacturing and delivery,” said Lisa Konigsberg, director of corporate quality for Microsemi. “This award also demonstrates the importance of listening to our customers, taking a holistic approach to quality assurance and continually reaching out for feedback to ensure we consistently exceed our customers’ expectations—ultimately developing a high level of trust resulting in continued business growth.”

Microsemi has a long history of providing the highest quality aerospace and defense solutions, which require high reliability products to be tested and handled in tightly controlled areas. The company extends this differentiation across all its market segments requiring the highest quality standards, including communications, data center and industrial. Microsemi was recognized by JPL for successfully supporting a JAPC audit by demonstrating excellence in the operations of its testing area and product warehouse, which led to its ‘Supplier Trust and Recognition Award.’
