OverviewSRI's Integrated Systems & Solutions (InSyS) Division designs leading-edge R&D technologies that power the systems end users depend on every day. From proof-of-concept to execution in the real world, we provide our customers the keys to achieve their objectives. Our goal: To uncover and deliver on profound possibilities for a smarter, safer, and more sustainable world.
InSyS's Center for Advanced Imaging is searching for an CMOS/CCD Image Sensor Development Engineer to help expand the Low Light CMOS Cameras and Space Qualified Sensors thrusts. The Imaging Business has four focused thrust areas providing innovative low light imaging, space qualified imaging, lidar imaging, and commercial OEM products. The candidate will be expected to design CMOS imager pixels, characterize CMOS imager chips, support technical and marketing activities for the domestic and international customers. The objective is to position SRI for continued growth in CMOS, CCD, III-V and ROIC-based imaging technologies and products deployed in the commercial, government and military markets.
The position will work onsite at our Princeton, NJ office.
Responsibilities- Work with other pixel designers to define the CMOS imager pixel architecture, layout/design, and corresponding process integration schemes.
- Characterize CMOS imagers and pixels.
- Perform simulations of advanced CMOS imager pixels.
- Generate and evaluate process experiments for the optimization of Imager performance, quality, and manufacturability.
- Interface with foundry on fabrication process of CMOS and CCD image sensor
- Work with mixed signal and digital design team to develop innovative next generation imaging architectures and technology.
- Participate in the development of technical proposals in support of new business
Qualifications- Bachelors or Masters in Optics, Physics, Electrical Engineering or a related field required, PhD desirable
- 10 years' experience in CMOS image sensor design or characterization
