Senior Principal Mixed Signal Design Engineer (Hybrid)

About the role

Raytheon Vision Systems is seeking a talented Senior Principal Mixed Signal Design Engineer to join our design team. This position will be hybrid based in Goleta, CA or Phoenix, AZ.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and characterization of Readout Integrated Circuits (ROICs) for advanced sensing systems.
• Evaluate various aspects of the process flow from design to synthesis, place and route, timing and power use.
• Candidate also must be able to 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.
• Guide and coordinate teams of highly skilled engineers in complex, multidisciplinary technical environments.
• Communicate complex technical concepts and program status through briefings and technical reviews with senior government and customer stakeholders, including flag officer–level leadership.

Requirements

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 10 years of prior relevant experience or an advanced degree in a related field and a minimum of 7 years of prior relevant experience.
• Experience leading program development for commercial, defense, and/or space industries to complete designs on schedule and within allocated budget.
• Experience with semiconductor device physics, semiconductor processing, linear IC design, simulation, layout (i.e. hand layout critical analog & mixed-signal circuits), and testing.
• Experience in full-custom CMOS Integrated Circuit (IC) design at the transistor level.
• Experience with IC Design Flows and any of the following tools: CAD tools such as Cadence and Mentor Graphics (Siemens). Analysis & programming tools such as MATLAB. Computer programming or scripting language such as Python. High-end UNIX based software design tools for circuit simulation, transistor model extraction, noise analysis, linear design, layout and layout automation, and verification.
• Modelling experience with System Verilog/Real Modelling/Verilog AMS and coding synthesizable RTL.

Qualifications

• 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.
• Knowledge of high-end UNIX based software design tools for circuit simulation, transistor model extraction, noise analysis, linear design, layout and layout automation, and verification is preferred.
• Familiarity with ROIC architecture, design concepts, operational control and timing.

Benefits

This position offers competitive compensation, including a salary range of $145,600 - $276,800, and a comprehensive benefits package. Specific benefits are dependent upon the specific business unit as well as whether or not the position is covered by a collective-bargaining agreement.
