Job DescriptionThe Advanced Imager Technology Group is seeking to hire a Technical Staff member to develop next generation readout integrated circuit architectures as part of the group's portfolio of imager technology. Current research areas include designs in advanced technology nodes (< 32 nm) and on-chip digital processing and reconfigurable logic. The position requires broad knowledge of integrated design techniques and tools from concept development and modeling to physical implementation and tapeout.
The candidate will be a member of a design team and must value teamwork, collaboration, and creative thinking. The design team fits within a larger vertically integrated team whose goal is to develop imaging systems for a wide variety of applications. The successful applicant must have a growth mindset with an expectation for continuous improvement of self and others through shared learning.
RequirementsCandidates should have a deep expertise in at least two of the following areas:
- Digital IC design
- Industry standard IC design flows (Cadence, Mentor, Synopsys)
- HDL programming and simulation
- Synthesis and Place and Route
- Functional verification
- Timing analysis techniques
- Scripting (Python, Perl)
- FinFET and multi-gate transistor design techniques
- Advanced process design kits (PDKs) for sub-22nm nodes
- Multi-patterning and litho-friendly design practices
- Power management and leakage mitigation in advanced nodes
- Signal integrity and parasitic extraction for nanoscale designs
- Design for manufacturability (DFM) at advanced technology nodes
- Low-power design techniques (power gating, dynamic voltage/frequency scaling)
Candidates should hold a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field. In lieu of a PhD, candidates with a MS degree and 5+ years of experience will be considered.
Preferred ExperienceExperience in more than two of the technical skills above as well as the following:
- Full custom design
- Physical verification
Familiarity with imaging systems or digital signal processing is desirable.
