About the Role

SRI's Center for Advanced Imaging (CAI) is seeking a Principal CMOS/CCD image Sensor Development Engineer to expand Low Light CMOS Cameras and Space Qualified Sensors. The role involves supporting technical and marketing activities for domestic and international customers, positioning SRI for growth in monolithic CMOS, CCD, III-V, and ROIC-based imaging technologies for commercial, government, and military markets.

Responsibilities

Define pixel architecture, layout/design, and process integration schemes.
Design and layout pixel test structures for pixel & process validation.
Generate and evaluate process experiments to optimize imager performance, quality, and manufacturability.
Work independently and collaboratively with engineers on design, probe, characterization, and production to optimize pixel design & process.
Manage/support foundry-level fabrication processes for CMOS and CCD image sensors.
Design and perform simulations of advanced CMOS, CCD, and Lidar image sensors.
Collaborate with mixed-signal and digital design teams to develop next-generation imaging architectures and technology platforms.
Lead/support new product introduction (NPI) projects and programs in CMOS and CCD image sensors for internal/external customers.
Work closely with BD and engineering leadership to design/develop imager technology supporting the technology/product roadmap.
Develop and win externally and internally funded research, development, and product design programs.
Lead/participate in the development of technical proposals for new business.

Requirements

Bachelors or Masters in Optics, Physics, Electrical Engineering or a related field required, PhD desirable.
15+ years of experience in CMOS image sensor design (Defense, Commercial).
US Citizenship required due to US Government requirements.
Ability to obtain/maintain a security clearance.
Proficiency with Cadence Design Systems IC design tools (layout, LVS, DRC, Schematic) in CMOS/CCD image sensor.
Proficiency with TCAD process simulation tools or optics/optoelectronics.
In-depth knowledge and process integration experience in state-of-the-art CMOS/CCD image sensors (e.g., Backside illuminated Sensor, Global shutter, 3D Wafer stacking) is preferred.
Ability to understand and create circuit layouts and schematics and run DRC and LVS.
Knowledge of building topological and electrical design rules, understanding limitations of fab tools, is a plus.
Ability to travel up to 10% of the time if necessary.
