As part of our continuing growth in this high technology market, Teledyne Digital Imaging is recruiting for a Senior Pixel Designer in Waterloo!

Teledyne DALSA’s CMOS Image Sensors group is looking for a creative and innovative individual who can contribute to the development of advanced CMOS / CCD image sensor pixels. The ideal candidate would be a highly motivated individual who can learn new technical concepts readily, who can work independently on tight schedules and who can work closely with other members in the team.

Responsibilities

• Define new pixel architecture, layout design and corresponding process integration schemes.
• Optimize existing pixel performance and manufacturability.
• Perform process, device and optoelectronic simulations of advanced CMOS / CCD imager pixels.
• Generate and evaluate pixel process and device experimental splits.
• Participate in internal and external silicon foundry interactions.
• Provide leadership and mentorship to junior designers.

Qualifications

The successful candidate will ideally have:

• Excellent written and verbal communications skills.
• Strong knowledge of fabrication process, device physics and optoelectronics of advanced CMOS / CCD image sensors.
• Experience with image sensor pixel design, preferably with high-speed and low-noise CMOS / CCD pixel design experience.
• Knowledge and experience in the area of analog circuits interfacing to imager pixels will be strong assets to the position.

Minimum Qualifications

• Doctorate (academic) with specialization in semiconductor device physics and with hands-on experience of semiconductor fabrication processes and device characterization techniques.
• At least 3 years of experience with 2D / 3D TCAD simulations (process / device / optoelectronic simulations using Synopsys, Silvaco) and optical simulations (Ray tracing / FDTD using Lumerical, Zemax).
• Design of Experiments (DOEs) including Taguchi methods, Response Surface Methodology (RSM).
