Michael Thompson
Distinguished Engineer in the Virtuoso R&D group, Cadence Design Systems (CDS)
Michael Thompson is a Distinguished Engineer in the Virtuoso R&D group at Cadence Design Systems (CDS). His current charter is the development of design solutions for Heterogenous Integration across digital, analog, and high-frequency domains. These solutions require complete flows allowing initial design concepts through detailed design and analysis, verification, manufacturability, and tape-out. He works closely with software developers, end-users, and foundries to implement complete deployable development flows.

Before joining Cadence, Michael had various roles in Keysight/Agilent/HP EEsof field organization from AE with specialties in EM, RFIC, and MMIC design, AE District Manager, and Enterprise Account Manager. Before joining HP, Michael was a Senior Specialist at Aerojet ElectroSystems, designing antennas and subsystems for radiometric sensors for the EOS and SSMIS satellite platforms and passive and active sensor antennas and transceivers for the SADARM and STAFF programs. Before Aerojet, he was a member of the technical staff of the Phased Array Antenna Lab at Hughes Aircraft. He was responsible for the design of active and passive beam steering modules. He has a BSECE and MSEE from Cal Poly and did Post-Grad work at USC.
