We Hire America Jobs

Description: Lockheed Martin’s Santa Barbara Focalplane business is seeking lead integrated circuit (IC) design engineers for our Readout Integrated Circuit (ROIC) design team to advance our state of the art infrared (IR) imaging sensors. This role includes developing ROIC design requirements, contributing to new ROIC architectures, and designing analog, mixed signal, and digital circuit blocks for use in ROIC’s. Candidates for this role require design experience of the major circuit blocks inside and ROIC and proficient understanding of how ROIC’s integrate into IR sensor systems. The digital ROIC’s developed at Lockheed Martin Santa Barbara Focalplane require several circuit blocks including advanced CMOS pixel designs, analog to digital converters, analog bias generators, digital control circuits, memory blocks, phased locked loops (PLL’s), and high speed transceiver circuits. This role also includes interfacing with other engineering disciplines and giving customer and design review presentations. Engineering responsibilities include requirements and concept development of ROIC systems, circuit block design, circuit simulation, coordination of circuit layout designers, lab testing and debugging of hardware, presentation of design review material, coordination with CMOS semiconductor foundries, and support of IR sensor system design with other engineering disciplines.

Santa Barbara Focalplane is the leader in digital focal plane array integrated circuit technology and rewards creativity and design innovation. This is an opportunity to be a change maker for our national defense by helping shape the future of our expanding product line. Using cutting edge design tools, you may find yourself as part of the innovation behind mission critical systems for exciting programs, working on space sensors, targeting and navigation sensors, situational awareness sensors for military platforms, or designing aerial surveillance sensors and drone mounted systems. In this role, you will be an integral part of a small design team where creativity and flexibility are encouraged.

Relocation: Relocation assistance is possible for this opportunity.
