• Work on full custom silicon layout & verification of pixels with emphasis on side effect mitigation (e.g., for WPE, STI).
• Participate in evaluation and characterization of pixels.
• Prepare detailed written specifications, test protocols, and test reports.
• Contribute to technical support activities for post-sales issues.
• Manage multiple projects simultaneously with varying scopes.
• Contribute to methodology development and design flow improvement.
• Collaborate closely with the entire R&D team.
• Protect innovation and intellectual property through patents.
• Participate in technology, supplier, and tool selection.
• Ensure compliance with the quality system at all times.

Travel Requirements:

• Up to 20% of the working time.

Qualifications

• MSc or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, or similar.
• 5+ years of hands-on experience in pixel transistor-level and system-level design, circuit simulation, and layout.
• Strong knowledge of sub-micron CMOS fabrication technologies and analog/mixed-signal design aspects.
• Experience in IC design from concept to tape-out.
• Experience in image sensor and pixel design.
• Experience in the design of basic analog building blocks like:
  • A/D – D/A
  • PLLs
  • OPAs/OTAs
  • Switched-cap circuits
  • Bandgaps
  • LDOs
  • I/V references
• Experience in low-power CMOS circuit design.
• Working knowledge of Cadence Virtuoso and Spectre.
• Working knowledge of Cadence, PVS, and/or Siemens Calibre.
• Lab proficiency for ASIC evaluation and debugging.
• Experience in TCAD device modelling.
• Knowledge of VHDL-AMS/VHDL or Verilog-A/Verilog-AMS/Verilog is desirable.
• Experience in Python, C/C++, or Matlab is desirable.
• Knowledge of Linux with experience in scripting, debugging, and programming (Shell, Skill, TCL, Perl) is a plus.
• Experience in embedded system design and PCB design is a plus.
• Fluent oral and written communication in English is mandatory.
