Experience in EDA Tool, CAD flow and RFIC methodology.
Proficiency in at least one of Tcl, Python or Perl scripting languages.
Experience in some of the analysis involved in Electromagnetics - extraction, timing, noise, simulation, physical design and/or verification
Minimum requirement of BS + 3 years of relevant industry experience

Ability to coordinate and drive initiatives with little to no oversight.
Excellent communication and presentation skills.
Hands on knowledge of industry leading Electromagnetics tools e.g. HFSS, Clarity, Helic/VeloceRF, EMX, Q3D, VRF, Momentum, ADS or other EM solvers.
Experience in development of large scale software in multi-tech, multi user, multi-site environment.
Hands on experience with analysis, optimization and debugging of methodology using programming skills in languages like: Perl, Python, TCL, Shell, SKILL, C/C++, etc.
