Responsibilities Include:

  • Develop and validate timing constraints for intricate SoC designs.
  • Perform static timing analysis (STA) using industry-standard tools (e.g., PrimeTime, Tempus)
  • Perform synthesis and run static audits (CDC, RDC, Low Power, equivalence) for high speed, complex digital and mixed signal blocks
  • Define and implement timing signoff methodologies, including process corners, derates, and uncertainties.
  • Conduct pre-route timing checks and quality of results (QoR) analysis.
  • Automate timing analysis processes using scripting languages such as Tcl or Perl.
  • Provide guidance on clock tree synthesis and optimization for energy-efficient designs.
  • Ensure compliance with timing signoff checklists and criteria.
  • Generate timing ECO's for timing closure
  • Drive timing closure for complex IP and ASIC blocks

Qualifications:

  • Experience with high-complexity silicon in advanced technology nodes.
  • Familiarity with timing constraint development for hierarchical designs.
  • Knowledge of clock tree planning and implementation for SoCs.
  • Experience with timing ECO creation and final timing signoff.
  • Proficiency in using STA tools (e.g., PrimeTime, TCM, Tempus) and scripting languages (e.g., Tcl, Perl).
  • Proficiency in using synthesis and audit tools (DC-T, Genus, Fishtail, VCLP, Formality) 
  • Strong understanding of ASIC design flows, including RTL and place-and-route.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
  • Effective communication and teamwork abilities.
  • Ability to work independently in a fast paced, cross geographical environment.
  • Direct or indirect experience with RTL/ Design is a plus
