TL;DR · Camera Image Sensor Digital Design Engineer Lead

The Camera Image Sensor Digital Design Engineer Lead joins the Custom Silicon Management Group to drive technical engagements between internal teams and silicon suppliers. This role focuses on developing and productizing next-generation CMOS image sensor solutions, specifically targeting major blocks like ADCs, pixel array control, bias and reference circuits, digital control, and overall sensor integration into camera systems. You will own the specification and verification of sensor digital signal processing and various sensor interfaces while collaborating with global suppliers to evaluate new sensors. The role requires analyzing digital micro-architecture and embedded sub-systems while ensuring robust verification and testing at all stages. Key requirements include over ten years of digital design experience, proficiency in industry standard ASIC design tools, and modern design verification techniques in mixed signal environments, supported by a multi-disciplinary understanding of EE, CE, and Physics principles.

What you'll do

  • Own the specification and verification of sensor digital signal processing and interfaces.
  • Lead technical engagements with external silicon suppliers to develop and evaluate new sensors.
  • Analyze digital micro-architecture and embedded sub-systems in collaboration with sensor designers.
  • Evaluate the contribution of the sensor to overall system performance for internal customer teams.
  • Ensure sufficient and correct verification and testing are implemented at all stages of development.
  • Define, develop, and productize next-generation CMOS image sensor solutions including ADCs and pixel array control.
  • Communicate technical results and findings clearly to multi-functional engineering teams.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree and 10+ years of digital design experience.
  • Ability to use industry standard ASIC design tools (preferred).
  • Experience with modern design verification techniques in mixed signal environments (preferred).
  • Multi-disciplinary understanding of EE, CE, and Physics principles (preferred).
  • Experience with image sensor technologies (preferred).
  • Ability to work closely with others in a very multi-functional team environment (preferred).
  • Ability to detail and present results across collaborators (preferred).
  • Ability to drive, influence, and lead technical engagements (preferred).
