Senior CMOS Image Sensor; CIS Pixel Design Engineer

Overview

Himax Technologies is on the lookout for an experienced Pixel Design Engineer to join our Advanced R&D team in Irvine, California. If you have the right skill set, are detail-oriented with excellent problem-solving and analytical skills, and have effective communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively within a team, we would like to hear from you. This is an in-person position at our Irvine office.

This role will participate in new pixel designs and improvements of existing pixels by working closely with other design teams. This position is primarily responsible for pixel layouts including front-end, back-end and optical structure.

• Skillful and creative on optimizing pixel layout based on:
• Process flow information
• Pixel timing constraints and noise analysis
• Signal interferences analysis inferred by Capacitance extractions
• Implementing the floorplan of a pixel array
• DRC and LVS verifications on whole pixel array
• The layouts of dark pixel reference and other special pixels
• Interfaces with readout and pixel driver circuits
• Optical structure extensions beyond the active array boundaries

• Optimize optical structure layout shifts to accommodate image height dependent module lens CRAs

• Bachelor s degree with 10+ years or Master s degree with 7+ years of hands-on experience with CIS pixel layout
• Masterful on IC layout related EDA tools and layout parasitic capacitance extraction EDA tools
• Knowledgeable about typical physics, basic timing and operation principles of CIS pixel

• Background is Electrical Engineering, Physics or Photonics.
• Familiar with CMOS image sensor process integration, device physics and optics are good pluses.

• $120,000- $180,000 (DOE)

The salary offered will depend on several factors, including your location, level, education, training, specific skills, years of experience, and comparison to other employees already in this role.
