Design analog and mixed-signal circuits for CMOS image sensors, including:

• Pixel arrays and architectures.
• Column amplifiers.
• Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs).
• Bias generators and reference circuits.

Circuit simulation and verification, including:

• Run detailed SPICE simulations.
• Perform corner analysis and Monte Carlo simulations.
• Temperature and process variation analysis.
• Noise analysis and optimization.

Layout design and verification, including:

• Create and optimize analog circuit layouts.
• Ensure compliance with design rules.
• Perform parasitic extraction and post-layout simulations.

Technical documentation and collaboration, including:

• Collaborate with digital design, system architecture, and test teams.
• Participate in design reviews.
• Support chip verification and validation.

Performance optimization, including:

• Improve sensor parameters like H-banding, noise, linearity, etc.
• Address cross-talk and other interference issues.

Requirement:

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.

Must have skills in:

• Digital MOS VLSI circuit design and layout; circuit simulation and synthesis.
• MOSFET operation and models; Elementary amplifier configurations; biasing and references; frequency response; noise; feedback; operational amplifiers; frequency compensation; non-linearity and mismatch; passive and active filters.
• System and transistor-level analysis and design of integrated circuits.
• Schematic design, simulation, layout, post-layout verification of analog, mixed signal integrated circuits.
