Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMerkourios Katsimpris is an RFIC Design Engineer with 11 years of experience and a PhD from ETH Zurich specializing in RF and analog/mixed-signal transmitter design in advanced CMOS nodes. He has led full-chip and block-level work from behavioral Verilog-AMS modeling to tape-out in 22nm FD-SOI and 65nm processes, combining RF, analog and digital design skills with hands-on layout and calibration. His background includes low-power sensor front-ends, switched RF PAs with integrated DC-DC conversion, and precision mixed-signal building blocks, reflecting a pragmatic focus on power, area and manufacturability. Comfortable across the full silicon design flow, he also brings formal optimization and scheduling expertise from earlier research, enabling systematic trade-off decisions in complex IC projects. Based in Zurich, he thrives on technically challenging problems that cross analog, RF and digital domains and has a track record of shipping tape-outs from prototype to silicon.
