Based in Southern California with locations in Malibu, Calabasas, Westlake Village and Camarillo; HRL has been on the leading edge of technology, conducting pioneering research and advancing the state of the art. 

The Mixed Signal Solutions department at HRL Laboratories is a highly talented team of scientists and engineers with diverse backgrounds in integrated circuit design, advanced packaging and integration, novel signal processing and algorithm development, and integration / characterization of highly complex digital and mixed signal systems and subsystems for commercial and government applications in an innovative research and development environment.  We seek an experienced candidate capable of technical and programmatic leadership of several R&D efforts focused on development, demonstration, and maturation of device models for mixed-signal circuit designs.

The successful candidate will focus on measuring and understanding semiconductor device behavior with the goal of developing compact device models for use in integrated circuit design and simulation. Duties include organizing and managing research and development projects to be carried out by technical teams of other domain experts. Candidate must provide mentorship and guidance to others in all aspects of these projects (technical, organization, reporting, etc.).  Must develop and maintain relationships with relevant vendors and partner organizations, as well as with other internal leads and teams working on other system elements.  Must have excellent communications skills, organizing and presenting results in written reports and oral presentations.  Must create and manage work plans to meet or exceed schedule deadlines and technical expectations.  Must lead and contribute to proposal and marketing efforts required to sustain continued R&D efforts.

More than 10 years demonstrated expertise in compact model generation with industry standard SPICE models, such as PSP or BSIM (bulk and SOI), and development of device behavioral models and sub-circuit representations for RFIC applications. More than 5 years of experience with design of experiments and analysis techniques (electrical, mechanical, thermal, chemical, etc.) needed to develop and assess new device technologies.  The candidate must have exceptional understanding of semiconductor device physics and fabrication technologies including deep submicron and FinFET processes. Demonstrated experience developing external partnerships and vendor relationships.  More than 5 years of experience in organizing and leading technical research and development efforts, and in preparing presentations and proposals needed to attract research funding.  

PhD or equivalent experience in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related scientific discipline

U.S. citizenship is required.

Must be able to obtain and maintain a security clearance. Active SSBI is a plus.
