Senior Pixel Designer: Shape Next-Gen Image Sensors

Front Door Defense; Southwestern Ontario; On-site; CAD 110,000 - 165,000; Full time

Job summary

Teledyne Digital Imaging, a Teledyne Technologies Inc. subsidiary, is seeking a Senior Pixel Designer in Waterloo to develop and optimize CMOS/CCD image sensor pixels.

You will lead architecture design, perform simulations, and coordinate with foundries while mentoring junior designers. Ideal candidates will have a PhD in semiconductor device physics, 3+ years in TCAD and optical simulations, and strong communication skills.

Qualifications

• : Doctorate (academic) with specialization in semiconductor device physics and 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).
• : 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.

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
