Summary
Benjamin Babjak is an IC Design Engineer with 15 years of experience in mixed-signal and RF systems, currently designing transceivers and high-speed mixed-signal products at Analog Devices. He blends hands-on circuit and EM simulation expertise (Cadence Spectre, ADS, EMPro) with practical lab skills in automated measurement, thermal control, and below-noise harmonic detection. His background spans ADC/FPGA systems, SDR, signal processing frameworks in C++ and Python, and optimization methods such as particle swarm and genetic algorithms. A PhD-trained engineer with roots in both industry and research, he is comfortable taking a design from EM-aware PCB/package considerations through IC clock routing to system-level signal classification and direction finding. Colleagues know him for a pragmatic, experiment-driven approach—and for a lab quip that betrays a contrarian streak: "Ohm's law? Moore's law? Screw that! I'm an outlaw."
