Schmidt was born March 31, 1944, in San Francisco, California.[1] He graduated with B.S. (in 1966), M.S. (1968), and Ph.D. (1970) degrees in electrical engineering and computer science from the University of California, Berkeley. From 1970 to 1971 he was a postdoctoral research assistant at University College, London. He then joined Bell Laboratories in 1971.[2] He was hired by Xerox PARC to develop a version of Ethernet for optical fiber in 1980 called Fibernet II.[3] Schmidt co-founded SynOptics Communications in 1985 with Andrew K. Ludwick.[4] After its merger in 1994, he served on the Board of Directors of the resulting company Bay Networks starting in May 1996.[5]
Schmidt was executive vice resident and chief technical officer (CTO) of Bay Networks from 1994 to 1997.[6] In 1998 he became a vice president of the Bell Labs research facility at Silicon Valley.[7] He left Bell Labs in February 2000. He served on the board of directors of Silicon Image from April 1997 until April 2004.[8]
