At Raytheon, the foundation of everything we do is rooted in our values and a higher calling – to help our nation and allies defend freedoms and deter aggression. We bring the strength of more than 100 years of experience and renowned engineering expertise to meet the needs of today’s mission and stay ahead of tomorrow’s threat. Our team solves tough, meaningful problems that create a safer, more secure world.

Raytheon Vision Systems is seeking a talented Senior Mixed Signal Design Engineer to join our design team.  This position will be onsite in Goleta, CA or Pheonix, AZ. (An onsite location at another authorized RTX location may be considered with manager approval).

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.

What You Will Do:

Candidate will be part of a team responsible for the design, development, and verification of read-out ICs (ROICs) for visible and infrared focal plane arrays. Candidate must be able to participate in various aspects of the design flow from circuit design to analysis, synthesis, place and route, digital timing evaluation and power analysis. Candidate also must be able to work with the team to determine architecture design, logic design, and system simulation and define module interfaces for simulation.

Key skills required are the ability to 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.

Candidate will support the successful completion of major design tasks including participation in budget, schedule, and metrics tracking.

Qualifications You Must Have:

• Typically requires a Bachelor’s Degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) with a minimum of 5 years of prior relevant experience in full-custom CMOS Integrated Circuit (IC) design at the transistor level, or an advanced degree in a related field and minimum of 3 years of related experience.
• Experience with IC Design Flows and tools –CAD tools such as Cadence and Mentor Graphics (Siemens)
• Experience with Analysis & programming tools such as MATLAB
• Experience with Computer programming or scripting language such as Python.
• Experience with High-end UNIX based software design tools for circuit simulation, transistor model extraction, noise analysis, linear design, layout and layout automation, and verification
• Experience modelling with System Verilog/Real Modelling/Verilog AMS and coding synthesizable RTL
• Experience with semiconductor device physics, semiconductor processing, linear IC design, simulation, layout (i.e. hand layout critical analog & mixed-signal circuits), and testing.

Qualifications We Prefer:

• Digital design skills such as experience with Conformal, experience with Digital-on-top mixed-signal design flow including utilization of Innovus for final chip construction, and experience writing behavioral models for digital circuits and analog/mixed signal interfaces and circuits
• Prior experience successfully executing quick turn developments for commercial, defense, and/or space industries with ability to complete designs on schedule and within budget.
• Experience with certain IP and circuit blocks such as LVDS transmitters and receivers, low noise and low power amplifiers, ADC design, PLL/Transmitter design and radiation and cryogenic tolerant design techniques
• Knowledge of high-end UNIX based software design tools for circuit simulation, transistor model extraction, noise analysis, linear design, layout and layout automation, and verification is preferred.
• Familiarity with ROIC architecture, design concepts, operational control and timing
• Master or PhD in STEM disciplines such as Math, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Mathematics, or a related discipline with a minimum of 10-year related experience.  

What We Offer:

Our values drive our actions, behaviors, and performance with a vision for a safer, more connected world. At RTX we value: Trust, Respect, Accountability, Collaboration, and Innovation.
