Role Posting Log in to save

The Timing Design Engineer joins the hardware team as an ASIC STA Engineer to manage all aspects of SoC design regarding timing. The role involves performing timing sign-off, developing STA and sign-off flows, and owning IP and block level timing constraints from synthesis through to final sign-off. The engineer must collaborate with RTL designers to understand design intent and clock structures, work with CAD to develop flows, and coordinate with the physical design team to close timing. Key responsibilities include innovating timing constraints to mitigate pessimism and verifying constraints. Required expertise includes ASIC design timing closure methodology, Primetime tools, timing corners, process variations, and signal integrity. Technical skills include SDC constraints generation, Tcl, and Perl scripting, alongside familiarity with synthesis, DFT, and backend methodologies.
