Job Description:
DOH-06 Post doctoral Researcher in CMOS image sensor electronics for surgical assistance.
Contract: Full Time/Fixed Term
This position is jointly sponsored by Tyndall National Institute and Microelectronic Circuits Centre Ireland.
This project will utilise the huge advances in CMOS Image Sensors (CIS) to build micro-cameras for surgical stent operations. More than 2 million people receive a stent each year, and applying a micro-camera to the guidewires used to insert the stent would enhance safety and reduce costs.
The project involves collaboration between MCCI, IPIC, and the Bio-Photonics team at Tyndall National Institute. The candidate will design a sub 1mm² CMOS image sensor using advanced 3D stacked technology, focusing on low power and low area designs. Responsibilities include circuit design, characterising imager performance, and disseminating results to conferences.
Key Responsibilities
* Be creative and self-motivated, fostering a friendly atmosphere within the teams.
* Propose innovative circuits for the medical device camera project.
* Implement solutions on integrated circuits using advanced CMOS Image sensor technology.
* Engage with the bio-photonics multi-disciplinary team.
* Disseminate research results with support from senior staff.
* Participate in Education and Public Engagement activities.
* Ensure compliance with Tyndall Quality Management and Health & Safety standards.
* Carry out additional duties as required.
Minimum Requirements:
* PhD in Electronic Engineering or related discipline.
* Evidence of successful execution of Analog, Mixed-Signal or RF circuits.
* Ability to work independently on challenging circuit blocks.
* Strong analytical, interpersonal, and organisational skills.
* Experience testing/characterizing CMOS image sensors.
* Good mathematical ability and knowledge of statistics.
* Knowledge of mathematical modelling tools such as MATLAB.
* Experience with CAD tools such as Cadence and Mentor.
* Interest in Medical applications.
For queries, contact Dr. Daniel O'Hare via email.
The successful candidate will be innovative and dedicated to creating world-leading integrated circuits for real-life applications.
