Murphy will lead new technology and product development efforts for the firm, taking the lead in setting policy in many areas as well as R&D project tracking and reporting. M/A-COM says that he will play a key role in developing and executing on its new product growth strategy.

Most recently, Murphy served as VP of engineering of the Networks and Standard Products business unit of TriQuint Semiconductor Inc of Hillsboro, OR. Prior to that, he led TriQuint's New England Design Center, which he initially launched for Infineon Technologies in 1999 (before TriQuint purchased Infineon’s GaAs IC business unit in 2002). His early career included 13 years with M/A-COM where, as product line manager in the late 1990s, he led an embryonic business and technical team in the development of RFICs for handset and wireless local-area network (WLAN) applications that grew to more than $45m in revenue in just a few years.

“This senior staff position is one of our most critical as we kick off our new strategic growth plan,” says Thomas. “Mike is an accomplished and recognized technical leader in our industry, having led many game-changing technical and product line teams throughout his career.”
