Raytheon Vision Systems is seeking a talented Senior Mixed Signal Design Engineer to join our design team. As part of this team, you will collaborate in a fast-paced multidisciplinary team environment to develop cutting-edge image sensor products. You will participate in mixed-signal ASIC/ROIC development activities with cross-functional teams including chip architecture, specification, design, verification, validation, fabrication, packaging, debugging, test development, failure analysis, and documentation.

This position will be onsite in Goleta, CA.

What You Will Do

• Design, development, and verification of read-out ICs (ROICs) for visible and infrared focal plane arrays.
• Evaluate various aspects of the process flow from design to synthesis, place and route, timing and power use.
• Determine architecture design, logic design, and system simulation and define module interfaces for simulation.
• Design mixed-signal integrated circuits for image sensors, including analog signal chain, digital timing and image processing, and low-power 12 - 14 bit on-chip analog to digital converters (ADCs).
• Guide the successful completion of major design tasks and may function in a project leadership role, which can include technical leadership, budget, schedule, and metrics tracking

Qualifications You Must Have

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) with a minimum of 5 years of prior relevant experience or an Advanced Degree in a related field and a minimum of 3 years of experience.
