TL;DR · Staff STA Engineer

The Staff STA Engineer joins a new group dedicated to developing silicon demonstrators based on Arm’s IP compute sub-system solutions for premium mobile, infrastructure, and automotive markets. This role involves owning full chip and block level timing closure throughout the project cycle for complex multi-instantiated designs using 3nm and 5nm technologies. You will handle timing constraints for functional and test modes, resolve sophisticated timing issues for major SoC building blocks, and perform ECO generation at both block and top levels. Key responsibilities include working with IO interfaces and SoC bus protocols. Required expertise includes timing convergence, industry standard STA tools, multi-power domain designs, and signal integrity. You must possess strong automation skills in Perl, Tcl, and Python to support these advanced SoC development tasks.

What you'll do

  • Own full chip and block level timing closure throughout the entire project cycle.
  • Manage timing constraints for functional and test modes across different logical hierarchical levels.
  • Resolve sophisticated timing issues for major building blocks of complex SoCs.
  • Generate ECOs at both the block and top levels.
  • Implement timing and functional ECOs in coordination with relevant teams.
  • Develop and manage timing constraints for 5nm and 3nm technologies.
  • Utilize automation scripts in Perl, Tcl, or Python to streamline timing tasks.

What we're looking for

  • Work experience of 6+ years in Timing convergence.
  • Experience in industry standard STA tools and methodologies.
  • Knowledge of timing corners/modes including DFT, process variations and signal integrity issues.
  • Work experience on timing closure for multi power domain designs.
  • Experience in collaborating across silicon engineering groups and with EDA vendors.
  • Experience in constraints development and timing closure on 5nm or 3nm technologies.
  • Strong automation skills in Perl, Tcl, and Python.
  • Masters or equivalent experience in Electrical Engineering (preferred).
