TL;DR · SoC Physical Design Engineer, STA/Timing

The SoC Physical Design Engineer, STA/Timing will join the Physical Design team to manage the physical implementation of design partitions from netlist to tapeout for a highly complex SoC using state of the art process technology. The engineer will work with design teams to debug constraints, facilitate logic changes to improve timing, and create timing ECOs for project tapeout. Daily responsibilities include performing deep analysis of timing paths, implementing timing infrastructure, and creating scripts and methodologies for analysis runs. Required skills include experience with STA, noise, crosstalk, and OCV effects. Preferred qualifications include proficiency in Perl and TCL, circuit modeling with SPICE models, and experience with timing closure for large high-performance SoC designs in sub-micron technologies.

What you'll do

  • Execute physical implementation of design partitions from netlist to tapeout for complex SoCs.
  • Perform deep analysis of timing paths to identify and resolve critical issues.
  • Create and implement timing ECOs for project tapeouts.
  • Develop and maintain scripts and methodologies for analysis and design runs.
  • Implement timing infrastructure and manage timing closure methodologies.
  • Debug design constraints and facilitate logic changes to improve timing.
  • Create technical documentation, guidelines, and specifications for the design process.

What we're looking for

  • Minimum Bachelor's degree.
  • Experience with STA.
  • Experience with noise, crosstalk, and/or OCV effects.
  • Familiar with timing of large high-performance SoC designs in sub-micron technologies (preferred).
  • Experience with STA and methodologies for timing closure (preferred).
  • Familiar with circuit modeling, including SPICE models, and worst-case corner selection (preferred).
  • Good programming skills with Perl and TCL (preferred).
  • Experience with large design STA and Timing Closure (preferred).
