About the role

Raytheon Vision Systems is seeking a talented Senior Mixed Signal Design Engineer to join our design team. As part of this team, you will collaborate in a fast-paced multidisciplinary environment to develop cutting-edge image sensor products. You will participate in mixed-signal ASIC/ROIC development activities with cross-functional teams including chip architecture, specification, design, verification, validation, fabrication, packaging, debugging, test development, failure analysis, and documentation.

Responsibilities

• 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.
• Modeling experience with System Verilog/Real Modeling/Verilog AMS and coding synthesizable RTL.

Qualifications We Prefer

• Advanced digital design skills such as experience with Conformal, experience with Digital-on-top mixed-signal design flow including utilization of Innovus for final chip construction, and experience writing behavioral models for digital circuits and analog/mixed signal interfaces and circuits.
• Experience with certain IP and circuit blocks such as LVDS transmitters and receivers, low noise and low power amplifiers, ADC design, PLL/Transmitter design, and radiation and cryogenic tolerant design techniques.
• Familiarity with ROIC architecture, design concepts, operational control and timing, with prior experience successfully executing quick turn developments for commercial, defense, and/or space industries.
• Knowledge of semiconductor device physics, semiconductor processing, physical design (including the ability to perform hand layout of critical analog & mixed-signal circuits), and testing.

Benefits

• Medical, dental, vision, life insurance, short-term disability, long-term disability
• 401(k) match
• Flexible spending accounts
• Flexible work schedules
• Employee assistance program
• Employee Scholar Program
• Parental leave
• Paid time off and holidays
• Annual short-term and/or long-term incentive compensation programs (payments not guaranteed and dependent on individual, business unit, and company performance)
