The Diversified Analog Solutions (DAS) team at Skyworks consists of several senior power amplifier and low noise amplifier designers. The team has been working on such projects for several years, growing alongside technological innovations. These amplifiers are designed with respect to the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) as a reference document to achieve good performance. My contributions towards these projects were to tune and measure the designed power amplifier front-end module and report the results to the team. A major part of this was to understand the design and expect the measured result to be similar to simulated result. As a student, I felt this was a very good career start point. Most times the simulated results are ideal …show more content…
This helped me reveal the leadership quality in me.
After being involved in several projects, I learned that the team communication skills are critical to ensure that everyone is on the same track and utilize time in a very productive manner. An effective team needs to work well together and team cohesiveness depends on building strong relationships with team members.

The team I worked for has been together for over a decade and it was easy for me to blend in because of the transparency among team members.
This mainly helped me plan my week to accomplish the given task and spare time for learning. As the industry is constantly growing and technology is evolving every day, I spared time to discuss with senior design engineers to learn and progress further with a clear conceptual understanding. Strong communication and constant updates between team members also help team members learn how to manage conflicts in a positive way, developing a professional
