Design, development, and verification of read-out ICs (ROICs) for visible and infrared focal plane arrays.
Evaluate various aspects of the process flow from design to synthesis, place and route, timing and power use.
Determine architecture design, logic design, and system simulation and define module interfaces for simulation.
Design mixed-signal integrated circuits for image sensors, including analog signal chain, digital timing and image processing, and low-power 12 – 14 bit on-chip analog to digital converters (ADCs).
Guide the successful completion of major design tasks and may function in a project leadership role, which can include technical leadership, budget, schedule, and metrics tracking.
Requirements
Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) with a minimum of 5 years of prior relevant experience or an Advanced Degree in a related field and a minimum of 3 years of experience.
Experience with full-custom CMOS Integrated Circuit (IC) design at the transistor level using IC Design Flows and tools.
Experience with CAD tools such as Cadence and Mentor Graphics (Siemens), with analysis and programming tools such as MATLAB, and with computer programming or scripting languages such as Python.
Experience with high-end UNIX based software design tools for circuit simulation and analysis such as noise analysis and for physical design, automation, and verification.
Modelling experience with System Verilog/Real Modelling/Verilog AMS and coding synthesizable RTL.
