will be responsible for contributing to the technical direction of the research based on system and block design ideas and simulations, experimental results, program needs and the input from cross-functional colleagues.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree in Physics, Engineering, or related field AND 6+ years experience in industry or in a research and development environment

  • OR Master's Degree in Physics, Engineering, or related field AND 4+ years experience in industry or in a research and development environment

  • OR Doctorate in Physics, Engineering, or related field AND 1+ year(s) experience in industry or in a research and development environment, could include completion of a post doctoral research position

  • OR equivalent experience

• 4+ years of experience of design, simulation, and layout of full-custom high performance complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)analogcircuits

Other Requirements:

• Ability to meet Microsoft, customer and/or government security screening requirements are required for this role. These requirements include, but are not limited to the following specialized security screenings:
• Microsoft Cloud Background Check: This position will be required to pass the Microsoft Cloud Background Check upon hire/transfer and every two years thereafter.
• Citizenship & Citizenship Verification: This role will require access to information that is controlled for export under export control regulations, potentially under the U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations or Export Administration Regulations, the EU Dual Use Regulation, and/or other export control regulations. As a condition of employment, the successful candidate will be required to provide proof of citizenship, U.S. permanent residency, or other protected status (e.g., under 8 U.S.C. § 1324b(a)(3)) for assessment of eligibility to access the export-controlled information. To meet this legal requirement, and as a condition of employment, the successful candidate’s citizenship will be verified with a valid passport. Lawful permanent residents, refugees, and asylees may verify status using other documents, where applicable.

Preferred Qualifications:
