At Raytheon, the foundation of everything we do is rooted in our values and a higher calling – to help our nation and allies defend freedoms and deter aggression. We bring the strength of more than 100 years of experience and renowned engineering expertise to meet the needs of today’s mission and stay ahead of tomorrow’s threat. Our team solves tough, meaningful problems that create a safer, more secure world.

Job Summary:

An exciting opportunity exists at Raytheon for a Principal Digital IC Design Engineer to join our strong team. In this position you will be part of a talented team designing next-generation digital visible and infrared image sensors. A successful candidate will excel at collaborating in a fast-paced multidisciplinary team environment working to develop cutting-edge image sensor products.

As part of this team, you will be participating in mixed-signal ASIC/ROIC development activities with cross-functional teams including chip architecture, specification, design, verification, validation, fabrication, packaging, debugging, test development, failure analysis, and documentation. You will work to develop new digital block level microarchitecture, plan work breakdown structures and tasking, design digital logic blocks using Verilog and SystemVerilog HDL and utilize in-house digital IPs to extend functionality and/or to be compatible with new requirements for design reuse. 

You will perform Synthesis, Place & Route (P&R), Static Timing Analysis (STA) and post-P&R gate-level verification thus single-handedly covering all the steps in the digital design flow.

Responsibilities to Anticipate:

• You will work with senior digital design engineers to design and implement innovative Readout Integrated Circuits for cutting-edge imaging systems, including digital blocks (1k – 1M gates) in a variety of CMOS nodes (from 180nm to 28nm).
• You will collaborate in cross-functional integrated product development teams to deliver on customer requirements with consideration for efficiencies in strategic investment, cost, schedule, and process adherence.
• You will train and guide junior engineers.

Qualifications You Must Have:

• Experience with full digital design flow that includes writing RTL using Verilog & SystemVerilog, constructing testbenches to perform RTL simulation & verification, performing Synthesis, Static Timing Analysis, Place-and-Route, DFT (with use of scan chains), and Logical Equivalence Check. You will be working as a solo digital designer on a project performing all the tasks listed above on your own. Candidates must have experience with both Front-End Digital Design (RTL writing and verification) and Back-End Digital Design (Synthesis and Place & Route).
• Experience with Cadence tools such as Genus, Innovus, Conformal, Tempus, Modus, and/or Voltus, TCL scripting, and Lint tools.
• Typically requires a Bachelor’s degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) with a minimum of 8 yrs of prior relevant experience, or an advanced degree and minimum of 5 years experience.
• U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are authorized to access information under this program/contract.

Qualifications We Prefer:

• Familiarity with ROIC architecture, design concepts, operational control and timing
• Experience writing behavioral models for digital circuits and analog/mixed signal interfaces and circuits
• Experience with Conformal
• Experience with a Digital-on-top mixed-signal design flow including utilization of Innovus for final chip construction
• Advanced degree preferred.
• Proven leadership ability in technical and project roles.
• Excellent communication (written and oral) and teamwork skills

What We Offer:

• Our values drive our actions, behaviors, and performance with a vision for a safer, more connected world. At RTX we value: Trust, Respect, Accountability, Collaboration, and Innovation.
