Job Description
You will be the Integrated Circuit Layout Designer for the Readout Integrated Circuit (ROIC) design team at Lockheed Martin’s Santa Barbara Focal plane business. Our team delivers world class ROICs that power next generation infrared and visible spectrum imagers for defense, science, and commercial markets.
What You Will Be Doing
As the Integrated Circuit Layout Designer you will translate high performance analog and digital schematics into robust silicon layouts that meet sub micron, mixed signal VLSI specifications. Working side by side with circuit designers, verification engineers, and process experts, you will turn cutting edge ROIC concepts into manufacturable silicon blocks that enable ultra low noise, low power, high speed imaging. Your responsibilities will include:
Perform full custom physical layout of mixed signal CMOS transistor level designs, including ultra low noise front ends, low power ADCs, and multi GHz SERDES blocks.
Apply Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Test (DFT) techniques to satisfy tight area, thermal, and performance constraints.
Generate and maintain layout documentation, DRC/LVS reports, and tape out release packages.
Conduct parasitic extraction and post layout simulations to verify electrical performance against specifications.
Collaborate with circuit designers, verification engineers, and process engineers to resolve layout issues quickly and iterate efficiently.
Implement and enforce best practice guidelines in the team’s layout library.
Mentor junior technicians, fostering an inclusive, knowledge sharing culture.
Why Join Us
Do you want to be part of a company culture that empowers employees to think big, lead with a growth mindset, and make the impossible a reality? We provide the resources and give you the flexibility to enable inspiration and focus.
