About The Position

Raytheon Vision Systems is seeking a talented Senior Principal Mixed Signal Design Engineer to join our design team. This position will be onsite in Goleta, CA. What You Will Do Collaborate in a fast-paced multidisciplinary team environment to develop cutting-edge image sensor products. 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. 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. As well as 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. As well as communicate complex technical concepts and program status through briefings and technical reviews with senior government and customer stakeholders, including flag officer–level leadership.

Requirements

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.
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.
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.
U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are authorized to access information under this program/contract.
