This role focuses on the design, optimization, and physical implementation of column-level ADC circuits used in CMOS image sensors.

The engineer will work closely with cross-functional teams to enhance performance, silicon efficiency, and image quality while ensuring robust and scalable layout solutions.

Responsibilities

Work on detailed column ADC circuit design, with a focus on column layout design. Collaborating with other column ADC designers to optimize column ADC’s performance with minimum silicon area.
Cross products column ADC layout comparison and IP layout development and maintenance.
Perform RCX extraction of column circuit, taking care of critical signals parasitic analysis, and propose optimized design to improve column ADC performance and image quality.
Image sensor pixel array and column ADC supply analysis using Totem or other methodologies, including worst case P2P resistor extraction, and optimize chip floorplan and power routing.
Study design rules for new processes and provide physical design guidelines to design team. Debug and develop Calibre svrf files when needed.
SKILL script to improve productivity and design robustness.
Other duties as assigned.

Requirements

Must have experience/knowledge in analog circuits and semiconductor.
Experience/knowledge in CMOS image sensor readout circuit design
Experience/knowledge in image sensor and camera system is a plus
Minimum of 6+ years of relevant experience
MSEE or equivalent
