Working knowledge of various circuit topologies including amplifier, mixer, and filter circuits

Knowledge of efficient techniques for design, simulation, and layout of integrated circuits

Experience with schematic capture, simulation and layout tools

Experience in using the following tools is a plus: ADS, Momentum, EMPro, SystemVue, Cadence

Experience in system level analysis

Experience in PCB (board-level) design is a plus

Experience with device modelling, thermal design, and IC package design are a plus

Ability to perform hands-on measurements using state-of-the-art test and measurement equipment and techniques

Ability to troubleshoot, “dig deep” , and drive to root cause on difficult problems

Excellent interpersonal, problem solving, and communication skills to work in dynamic environment as part of multiple teams working on multiple projects

Demonstrated ability to work well in a team environment and experience in a design team, including the ability to communicate well, and collaborate cross-functionally with a team-oriented mindset

Must be highly self-motivated to accomplish all the tasks required to meet aggressive product development schedules and world class manufacturing expectations

Demonstrated ability to document and effectively present results
