• Develop, maintain, and optimize timing constraints, methodologies, and automation scripts
• Own timing closure across all stages of the design flow: RTL, synthesis, physical implementation, and signoff
• Debug and resolve complex timing violations and drive design fixes
• Collaborate closely with design, synthesis, and physical design teams to meet performance, power, and area (PPA) goals
• Provide guidance on design partitioning, floorplanning, and timing budgeting strategies
• Contribute to design reviews and provide expert insights for design improvements

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline
• 8+ years of hands-on experience in STA and timing closure for large-scale ASIC designs
• Strong proficiency with EDA tools such as Synopsys PrimeTime, PrimeTime SI, and/or Cadence Tempus
• Deep understanding of timing concepts, constraints development, and signoff methodologies
• Demonstrated success in driving complex designs to timing closure
• Excellent problem-solving skills and strong attention to detail
• Strong communication skills and proven ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment

• Preferred Experience:

• Familiarity with scripting languages such as Tcl, Perl, or Python
• Experience with hierarchical timing and multi-mode/multi-corner (MMMC) analysis
• Knowledge of data center ASIC architecture or high-performance computing systems
