Analog/Mixed-Signal IC Design Engineer for Science Instruments

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory; Berkeley (CA); In loco; USD 125.000 - 182.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's Integrated Circuit Design Group is seeking a highly skilled analog/mixed-signal IC Design Engineer to develop custom ASICs for major Laboratory projects in high-energy physics, nuclear science, scientific imaging, and beyond.

You will collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to design and deliver advanced integrated circuits powering next-generation instruments, from particle discoveries to cutting-edge imaging, to probing fundamental questions about the

Competenze

• Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) with 2+ years of relevant IC design experience, or an advanced degree with no experience required.
• Comprehensive knowledge of circuit theory and design.
• Proficiency with IC design suites (such as Cadence) and transistor-level simulators such as Spectre, Eldo, or HSPICE.
• Broad experience designing analog and mixed signal functional blocks such as opamps, bandgap references, switched capacitor circuits, data converters, charge sensitive front ends, image sensor arrays, LDOs, PLLs, feedback and compensation techniques.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and complete tasks with moderate supervision.
• Skilled in breaking down assignments, applying engineering judgment, and developing creative technical solutions.
• Demonstrated written and oral communication skills in authoring technical and scientific reports and publications and presenting conceptual and completed designs through design reviews and documentation.

Mansioni

• Develop high-performance analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits for detector instrumentation with a focus on development of high channel-count sensor readout ASICs operating in extreme environments (such as high-radiation, cryogenic, or in-vacuum environments).
• Under general supervision, take responsibility for specific subtasks such as block design, layout, verification, and ensuring successful chip integration. Test and evaluate integrated circuits and interface with other electronic equipment.
• Contribute to proposals for new IC technologies supporting scientific projects and programs.
• Provide engineering judgment to solve a variety of technical problems, with due consideration for scientific and practical concerns.
• Collaborate effectively with engineering and scientific teams.
• Provide guidance to and assist technical staff as needed.
• Prepare technical or progress reports and documentation.
