Modeling, Simulation, and Validation
Create detailed EM and circuitlevel models; perform correlation between simulations and laboratory measurements.
Conduct powerintegrity simulations of complex powerdelivery networks (both DC and AC domains).
Automate simulation workflows to improve repeatability, speed, and data accuracy.
HandsOn RF Test & Measurement
Lead handson evaluation using VNAs, TDRs, spectrum analyzers, wafer probers, and other highfrequency instrumentation.
Mentor engineering teams on measurement best practices, calibration methods, and data analysis.
Contribute to the development and refinement of nextgeneration RF calibration methodologies (e.g., SOL, SOLR, SOLT, multiline TRL).
Technical Leadership & Collaboration
Serve as a senior technical expert, influencing architecture decisions and longterm product roadmaps.
Collaborate with crossfunctional teams-including mechanical, process, and product engineering-to optimize product performance and manufacturability.
Provide technical mentorship to engineers across the RF product group and broader organization.
