Analog / Mixed-Signal VLSI Designer – IR Image Sensors
Job Description
Semi Conductor Devices (SCD), a leading worldwide supplier of high-end Infrared Detectors and thermal imaging cores, is looking for an Analog / Mixed-Signal VLSI Designer to join its VLSI R&D group.

The role involves design and validation of custom analog and mixed-signal ASICs (ROICs) for advanced IR imaging systems, working closely with experienced analog, digital, system, and hardware teams.

Responsibilities

Design and verify Analog and Mixed-Signal circuit blocks for IR image sensors (ROICs) under the guidance of senior designers
Participate in the full ASIC development flow:
specification review → circuit design → verification → integration → silicon bring-up → lab validation
Contribute to block-level simulations, documentation, and design reviews
Work closely with digital designers, layout engineers, electronics, and system teams to support chip integration
Support post-silicon validation and lab measurements, including debug and correlation to simulations
Gain exposure to advanced CMOS processes, image sensor architectures, and system-driven design constraints
Basic requirements
BSc / MSc in Electrical Engineering
2–5 years of hands-on experience in analog or mixed-signal VLSI design (industry or advanced academic work)
Basic understanding of analog design fundamentals: gain, bandwidth, noise, stability, matching, PVT effects
Experience reading and working from specification documents
Familiarity with analog simulation and schematic tools (e.g., Cadence Virtuoso / ADE / Spectre)
Ability to work well in a team-oriented, multidisciplinary environment
Good written and spoken English
Advantages
Experience with image sensors, ROICs, or custom mixed-signal ASICs
Design experience with one or more of the following:Analog front-ends, amplifiers, bias circuits
ADCs or data converters
Low-noise and/or low-power analog design
Exposure to silicon bring-up and lab validation
Strong motivation to learn, take responsibility, and grow as an analog designer
