Descripción del empleo

At Qurv, we create a paradigm shift in computer vision-based applications (automotive, XR, and robotics) by developing mass-deployable infrared image sensors that can enable machines to see better and more, unlocking new functionalities.

We are looking for a world-class analog IC designer to join our Barcelona-based team and work together to push the limits of Qurv’s wide-spectrum image sensor technology. You will be working closely with product, process, and integration functions. Your expertise in designing low-noise, miniaturized analog read-out chains in CMOS will bring Qurv's technology platform to the next level.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, simulate, and verify wide-spectrum image sensor in-pixel CMOS read-out circuitry with optimal performance and functionality compatible with customer requirements.
• Collaborate with process engineering teams to develop new pixel read-out designs compatible with our QSTACKTM thin-film process technology.
• Conduct rigorous simulations and analyses to predict and optimize pixel behavior and performance under various conditions.
• Interact with CMOS foundries to choose the optimal technology node, work with PDKs, and ensure compatibility with customer specifications and QSTACK technology.
• Iteratively refine pixel designs based on simulation results to achieve desired performance metrics, such as sensitivity, quantum efficiency, noise characteristics, and dynamic range.
• Develop and implement test structures for characterizing pixel performance and validating design simulations.
• Engage in the optimization of pixel layout, circuitry, architecture, and process to enhance performance metrics and manufacturing yield.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure successful integration of pixel designs into the overall image sensor systems.

Requirements

• Proficiency in utilizing EDA tools (e.g., Cadence Virtuoso, Synopsys Design Compiler) and TCAD software for CMOS image sensor design, simulation, and verification.
• Strong understanding of semiconductor device physics and CMOS fabrication processes.
• Proven track record in designing and optimizing small pitch CMOS image sensor pixels for performance metrics such as quantum efficiency, sensitivity, noise, and dynamic range.
• Experience in developing test structures and methodologies for pixel characterization and validation.
• Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, including product, process engineering, integration, and device functions.
• Ability to collaborate with external stakeholders such as customers or technology providers.
• M.Sc. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Semiconductor Physics, or a related field.

What it's like to work with us

• High-growth, multicultural, and friendly environment.
• Flexible working hours and trust culture.
• Continuous professional training.
• Opportunities to grow with the company.
• Health and well-being package including gym pass and private health insurance.
• Office 10 minutes away from the sea.
