Electronics Design and Reliability Research Engineer
We are seeking a highly motivated and talented individual with expertise in the design and characterization of electronics operating in diverse (including extreme) environments.
The ideal candidate will be a team-oriented individual with a strong background in electrical engineering, or a related area.
The individual will support research and development of electronic circuits and systems based on different semiconductor material systems, technology scaling nodes, circuit topologies, and system design techniques.
Responsibilities :
- Develop and apply analytical and behavioral modeling techniques to analyze circuit / system level performance.
- Support the planning, set up, and operation of CFD Research's labs for electrical characterization of analog / mixed-signal (AMS) and radio frequency (RF) circuits and / or systems.
- Plan and perform electrical and environmental testing to measure circuit and / or system level performance. Travel to external test sites including DoD and National Labs, and collaborators' facilities, will likely be required.
- Lead circuit and / or system level development tasks including design, verification, and tapeout.
- Actively collaborate with other researchers working on first-principles modeling and fundamental measurements of physical effects in semiconductors and electromagnetic effects.
- Document technical activities and findings in reports and publications.
- Contribute to future R&D efforts via proposal preparation.
Basic Qualifications :
- Candidate must be a US Citizen.
- Position requires a Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering (or related STEM Discipline) and at least 5 years of relevant work experience in analog / mixed-signal (AMS) circuit design and analysis (an advanced degree with research is a plus and may be considered in lieu of work experience)
- Proficiency in the use of commercial electronic design automation (EDA) software tools for circuit design and analysis (Synopsys / Cadence / Mentor Graphics / Siemens / or similar tools).
- Experience with scripting (such as Python) and programming (such as C++ / C / Fortran) languages is a plus.
Desired Qualifications :
- Experience with Machine Learning tools and techniques.
- Experience with AMS and RF circuit testing experience is a significant plus.
- Experience with reliability assessment techniques for circuits and systems is a plus.
- Experience with one or more of the following is a plus - printed-circuit-board (PCB) design and prototyping, power electronics design and testing.
Location : This role is based in the Huntsville, AL area, and is 100% onsite.
