Senior Analog Engineer
Job Description
Job Description As a Senior Analog Engineer, you’ll take a leading role in the development of infrared image sensor arrays, with ownership spanning analog IC design, ROIC architecture, performance analysis, simulation, integration, and validation. You’ll influence chip-level architecture, evaluate critical design tradeoffs, and develop analog signal paths and timing architectures that directly impact image performance. This is a hands-on technical role that combines system-level analysis with detailed transistor-level design and simulation.
Responsibilities
- Lead analog design activities for infrared image sensor arrays and Read-Out Integrated Circuits (ROICs).
- Translate customer and system requirements into IC architecture, analog circuitry, timing, and performance requirements.
- Develop analog IC blocks, signal paths, floor plans, and timing architectures.
- Perform transistor-level and SPICE simulations, including noise, power, variability, small-signal, and performance analysis.
- Conduct design trade studies and contribute to chip-level architectural decisions.
- Evaluate layout parasitics and their impact on circuit performance.
- Work with foundry PDKs and support foundry interactions and IC tape-out.
- Provide technical direction and coordination to digital designers, layout engineers, and other members of the design team.
- Partner with Test and Systems Engineering to support IC characterization, verification, and hardware debugging.
- Create clear technical documentation and present designs, performance analysis, and tradeoffs to engineering teams and customers.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related technical discipline. Master’s degree or PhD preferred.
- Relevant professional experience may be considered in lieu of education.
- 8+ years of experience in analog or mixed-signal IC design or a closely related field.
- Strong experience with analog CMOS design, circuit topology, and schematic capture.
- Experience with ROICs, image sensor electronics, or related IC architectures.
- Strong knowledge of SPICE simulation, noise analysis, small-signal analysis, and circuit performance.
- Experience analyzing layout parasitic effects.
- Experience working with foundry PDKs and supporting the IC tape-out process.
- Experience with IC characterization, testing, or hardware debugging.
- Ability to provide technical leadership and collaborate across IC Design, Layout, Systems, and Test Engineering.
- Strong technical communication and presentation skills.
- Must be a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.
