Strong motivation to contribute to all facets of chip design from conceptualization to release to production
Working knowledge of digital IC circuit design in an HDL synthesis environment
Working knowledge of digital verification and testing techniques
Good verbal and written communication skills, positive attitude, desire to learn, and willingness to work on a team
Working knowledge of UNIX operating systems

Additional skills (one or more of these are highly desirable):

Experience with digital design at geometries ranging from 130-40 nm
Experience with digital IO interfaces such at I2C, SPI, etc.
