Design integrated circuits for extreme environments with the Analog/Mixed-Signal IC Group at Draper. Lead complex designs and optimize hardware for national security and biomedical applications.
Responsibilities
Design and simulate circuits at transistor-level to implement architecture and requirement specifications
Contribute to system-level design
Optimize hardware designs for performance, power, and cost
Evaluate the hardware feasibility of complex algorithms and requirements
Independently contribute to complex chip architectures and designs
Independently drive solutions to complex problems - develop requirements, propose ways forward when customer requirements are unclear or incomplete, and adapt appropriately to changes in requirements
Contribute to business development and proposal activities
Develop, document, and teach best practices to less experienced engineers
Perform or guide physical layout, including floor-planning, and simulate circuits using extracted parasitics, contribute to design-for-test development
Requirements
Requires a bachelor's degree in Engineering, or related field
7-10 years of experience with a bachelor's degree, or 5-10 years with a master's degree in ASIC Hardware Engineering or related
