Scd is Hiring Mixed-Signal Test & Validation Engineer (IR ROIC)

Job Title:
Mixed-Signal Test & Validation Engineer (IR ROIC)

Location:
SCD Bar-Lev site

Job Type:
Full-Time

Job Description:

We are looking for a hands-on Test & Validation (post silicon) Engineer to join our VLSI design group, focusing on Infrared Readout Integrated Circuits (IR ROICs).

This role sits at the intersection of circuit design, silicon validation, and system-level characterization. You will work closely with analog and mixed-signal designers to ensure testability is built into the design from early stages, and later take ownership of silicon bring-up, validation, and electro-optical characterization.

Responsibilities:

Define and drive
DfT for analog/mixed-signal
: observability, controllability, test modes, and measurement access
Contribute in design/layout reviews to ensure testability;
define validation strategy pre–tape-out
Lead
first silicon bring-up
; execute block and full-chip validation; debug with design teams
Plan and run
characterization across PVT and modes
; analyze noise, linearity, DR; correlate sim silicon
Collaborate with
Physics/System
teams on electro-optical and radiometric performance of the hybridized ROIC
Build and maintain
lab setups
; develop
automation (Python)
for data acquisition and analysis; document methods/results
Perform failure analysis and debug issues to identify root causes and implement corrective actions.
Document test results, methodologies, and procedures for future reference.
Stay updated with the latest advancements in VLSI testing technologies and methodologies.

Qualifications:

Sc. in Electrical Engineering
5+ years in silicon validation / mixed-signal test / lab characterization
Proven experience
owning silicon bring-up
and leading debug to root cause
Understanding of
analog and mixed-signal circuits
(biasing, noise, signal chains)
Experience working closely with
design teams
(schematic/layout awareness, design reviews)
Hands-on expertise with lab equipment: oscilloscopes, SMUs, signal generators, data acquisition systems
Strong
debug methodology
under ambiguous conditions (first silicon, partial functionality)
Experience with
test automation (Python or similar)
for measurement and data analysis

Advantages:

Experience with
image sensors / IR ROICs / detector-based systems
Familiarity with
low-noise and precision measurement techniques
Experience in
mixed-signal IC validation
(ADC/DAC, analog front-end chains, bias systems)
Understanding of
PVT characterization and variability effects
Exposure to
electro-optical measurements and radiometric performance analysis
Familiarity with
Cadence/Synopsys
for design context

Benefits:

Professional development opportunities and continuous learning.
Flexible work hours and remote work options.
Opportunity to work on advanced IR sensing technologies with real-world impact
True contribution to future and safety of Israel.
