• Ability to model impairments and integrate them into behavioral/RNM models.
• Fluency in SPICE tools and waveform analysis.
• Strong scripting skills (Python, TCL, Perl, C/C++).

Who You Are:

• Collaborative communicator, proactive, detail-oriented, and adaptable.
• Committed to continuous improvement and model quality.

The Team You’ll Be A Part Of:

Join a skilled, cross-functional team dedicated to analog design, modeling, and verification for high-performance connectivity IP. Your expertise will help shape industry-leading products.
