SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tessera Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSRA) (the “Company”), today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, DigitalOptics Corporation™ (“DOC”), is taking the next step in its evolution into a premier developer and manufacturer of next-generation camera modules by transitioning to a new leader.

A search for a new president of DOC with strong general management, sales and marketing skills is underway. DOC’s chief operations officer, Logan Saverimuthu, who currently manages DOC plants and production facilities, is taking over, on an interim basis, the additional day-to-day operational management activities of DOC that were formerly managed by Dr. Bob Roohparvar, who is no longer employed by DOC.

“DOC remains on schedule to ship its advanced MEMS autofocus products in the fourth quarter of 2012,” said Robert A. Young, chief executive officer and president, Tessera Technologies, Inc. “DOC is ready for an experienced and accomplished senior executive with the skills to drive our customer, sales and marketing initiatives to the next level.”

Saverimuthu, who joined DOC in April 2011, has been leading DOC’s manufacturing team on a global basis, including facilities in Zhuhai, China (camera module manufacturing) and Taiwan (lens manufacturing). Before joining DOC, he was employed by Vista Point Technologies, where he led operations and quality groups at camera-module production facilities in Malaysia and China from 2006 until he joined DOC.
