In 2000, they began working at Motorola Inc. as an IC Design Engineer/Electrical Engineer. During their time at Motorola, they worked extensively on the 65nm and 90nm SOI technology development for high-performance products. Mohammed also performed extraction, simulation and characterized various product testchip vehicles for design vs. silicon correlation. In 2004, Mohammed joined Freescale Semiconductor as a Sr. Physical Design Engineer. During their time at Freescale, they worked on physical design integration specializing in high performance, low-power processors. In 2015, they joined Cirrus Logic as a Sr. CAD Engineer - EDA/Methodology. In this role, they were responsible for chip level electro-migration and IR-drop analysis for the digital and mixed signal design for Apple products. Finally, in 2017, Mohammed joined Everspin Technologies as a SMTS Design Engineer. In this role, they were responsible for chip level design synthesis, PnR implementation, and Tempus STA analysis for the mixed-signal MRAM design.

Mohammed Farook received their HSC/HighSchool degree in Science from BAF Shaheen College in 1992-1993. Mohammed then attended The University of Texas at Austin and earned a BSEE in Electrical Engineering from 1998-2001. Finally, they returned to The University of Texas at Austin and obtained an MSEE in Electrical Engineering (Circuit Design) from 2004-2005.
