Great communication and collaboration skills to interact within the team and with cross-functional teams
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
Hands on experience in object-oriented programming
Prior design on system level IP (Clocks/DFT/Resets)
Experience developing methodologies used by others
Hands- on silicon debug is a plus.
Exposure to physical design
