TL;DR · Senior Timing Methodology Engineer

As a Sr. Timing Methodology Engineer within the Adaptive and Embedded Computing Group, you will define, develop, and drive timing and power methodologies for advanced process nodes. You will work closely with architecture, product planning, process, design, and product engineering teams to realize silicon solutions with best-in-class PPA. Your daily work involves solving pressing challenges in sign-off and modeling methodologies at 2nm and beyond on monolithic and 2.5/3DIC adaptive SOCs and FPGAs. You will collaborate with CAD, power integrity, foundry teams, and EDA vendors to understand margins and develop mitigation strategies. The role requires expertise in industry-standard physical design, analysis, and sign-off tools, as well as FPGA implementation tools. Technical skills include proficiency in Python, Perl, and Tcl to support the development of methodologies for the design community.

What you'll do

  • Define, develop, and optimize design, timing, and power methodologies for advanced process nodes.
  • Drive sign-off and modeling methodologies for 2nm and beyond on monolithic and multi-die SOCs and FPGAs.
  • Translate high-level requirements from product planning and foundry stakeholders into actionable guidelines for the design community.
  • Develop mitigation strategies for margin and sign-off risks in coordination with CAD, power integrity, and foundry teams.
  • Optimize products for best-in-class Power, Performance, and Area (PPA) across edge and cloud markets.
  • Manage technical solutions to address pressing challenges in silicon realization and performance efficiency.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering.
  • Experience as a custom, physical design, and/or sign-off engineer.
  • Expertise using industry-standard physical design, analysis, and sign-off tools.
  • Experience with FPGA implementation tools.
  • Proficiency in programming languages including Python, Perl, and Tcl.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills to work across cross-functional teams.
  • Ability to translate high-level requirements into technical methodologies and guidelines.
