About the role

This role involves designing analog and mixed-signal circuits specifically for CMOS image sensors. The focus will be on optimizing sensor parameters such as H-banding, noise, and linearity.

What you'll do

• Design analog and mixed-signal circuits including pixel arrays, column amplifiers, analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), bias generators, and reference circuits.
• Perform detailed SPICE simulations, corner analysis, Monte Carlo simulations, temperature and process variation analysis, and noise analysis.
• Create, optimize, and verify analog circuit layouts, ensuring design rule compliance and performing parasitic extraction and post-layout simulations.
• Collaborate with digital design, system architecture, and test teams, participating in design reviews.
• Support chip verification and validation.
• Address cross-talk and other interference issues.

What you'll need

• Master’s degree or foreign equivalent degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field with a focus on mixed-signal circuit design.
• Skills in Digital MOS VLSI circuit design and layout.
• Expertise in circuit simulation and synthesis.
• Knowledge of MOSFET operation and models, elementary amplifier configurations, biasing and references, frequency response, noise, feedback, operational amplifiers, frequency compensation, non-linearity and mismatch, and passive and active filters.
• Experience with system and transistor-level analysis and design of integrated circuits.
• Proficiency in schematic design, simulation, layout, and post-layout verification of analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits.
