  • Variety reports that Google (GOOG, GOOGL) has hired Manu Gulati, chip architect at Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) for nearly eight years.
  • Gulati’s LinkedIn (NYSE:LNKD) lists his new job as Lead SoC Architect, which stands for “systems on a chip” and hints at the development of integrated mobile chips.
  • Google is reportedly looking to hire a couple of more chip engineers as the company moves towards making chips for future phones in the premium Pixel line.
  • Apple began using its own chips in 2010 under Gulati’s guidance. Google used a Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) chip when the first Pixel phone debuted last year.
  • Self-sourcing chips can help differentiate a company's line of devices from the competition since, for example, numerous companies use the same Qualcomm chips in phones. Chip development can also cut off potential supply issues.
