Michael Nix

Michael Nix first joined Vidatronic as a Principal Member of the Technical Staff in 2015 to serve as the technical lead on sub-14 nm FinFET circuit designs as low as 5 nm. He has since been promoted in November of 2019 to serve as Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Vidatronic.

Michael has over 40 years of industry experience delivering high-performance analog and mixed-signal products. He started his career doing programming and analog circuit design in the aerospace industry before quickly advancing to design-lead over the design of multiple communications and interface microchips across a number of reputable companies. The companies he’s worked for include Lockheed, Sperry, Mostek, Crystal Semiconductor, AMD, Xilinx (Rocket Chip's acquisition), and Qualcomm.

During his tenure as a Fellow at AMD, Michael worked on multiple analog and mixed-signal production-quality blocks in the 45 nm, 32 nm, and 28 nm processes. Following AMD, Michael joined Qualcomm in 2013 as a Principal Engineer to contribute his expertise to analog and mixed-signal blocks in 16 nm, 14 nm, and 10 nm FinFET processes. His many years of experience with production-level success in sub-40 nm process nodes makes Michael a valuable member of the Vidatronic technical team.
