SiTime CEO and leadership

Rajesh Vashist is a Chief Executive Officer at SiTime Corp and is based in United States.

Aaron Partridge received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University, Stanford, CA, in 1996, 1999, and 2003, respectively. His thesis delivered MEMS accelerometers for the NASA X-33 space plane and the first thin film encapsulated piezoresistive accelerometers. From 2001 through 2004 he was Project Manager at Robert Bosch Research and Technology Center (RTC), Palo Alto, CA, where he coordinated the MEMS resonator research. In 1987, he co-founded Atomis, Inc., a manufacturer of STM, AFM, and Ballistic Emission Electron Microscopes (BEEM), where he was Chief Scientist through 1991 when Atomis was sold to Surface Interface Inc. Atomis equipment was installed at AT&T Bell Labs, CERN, NIST, GM Research Labs, and various universities. Dr. Partridge has authored and co-authored over 30 scientific papers and holds over 60 patents. He served on the IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference IMMD subcommittee and is the Editorial Chair of the IEEE International Frequency Control Symposium.

Initial inventor of InChipMEMS™ technology, which allows vacuum-sealed MEMS structures to be manufactured in ultra-pure wafer cavities with integrated CMOS and shipped in low-cost industry standard packages. SiTime used this key intellectual property to bring to market the lowest cost, high performance resonators and oscillators, which are 1/8th the size of leading-edge competitive timing devices. Mr. Lutz received his Diplom Ingenieur Elektrotechnik at the Technical University of Munich in 1992. He started his career at Robert Bosch GmbH in Reutlingen Germany, where over four years he invented and managed the development of Bosch's first silicon based MEMS gyroscope, now a $200M/year business. In 1999 he joined the newly founded Research and Technology Center of Bosch in Palo Alto as MEMS Program Director. Together with Aaron Partridge (CSO) and Professor Tom Kenny's (Technical Advisory Board, Board Member) team he further developed InChipMEMS and wrote the first business plan for commercialization of InChipMEMS in the timing market. Mr. Lutz holds 80 patents, and has authored and co-authored 16 publications.

Vincent Pangrazio is an EVP, Chief Legal Officer & Corporate Secretary at SiTime Corp and Member at State Bar of California and is based in San Francisco, California. He has worked as Member of the Business Department and Partner at Cooley; Vice President and General Counsel at Women.com Networks; and Senior Vice President and General Counsel at CAVIUM, INC.. Vincent attended Loyola Marymount University (LMU) until 1993.

Arthur Chadwick is an Exec VP/CFO at SiTime Corp and is based in San Francisco, California. He has experience at AML, Gould Semiconductor, and Austrian Microsystems and has worked as VP:Finance/CFO/Secy at CAVIUM, INC.; Senior VP:Finance & Admin/CFO at Pinnacle Systems; and Various Financial and Management Roles at Ams Ag. Arthur studied at University of Michigan.
