TL;DR · Timing Design Engineer

As a Timing Design Engineer, you will join the hardware team as an ASIC STA Engineer responsible for all aspects of SoC design regarding timing. Your daily responsibilities include performing timing sign-off, developing STA and sign-off flows, and managing IP and block level timing constraints from synthesis through to final sign-off. You will collaborate with RTL designers to understand clock structures, work with CAD teams to develop tools, and partner with physical design teams to achieve quality timing closure. The role requires expertise in Primetime, SDC constraint generation, and scripting languages like Tcl and Perl. You must address technical challenges involving timing corners, modes, process variations, and signal integrity issues. This position focuses on solving complex timing analysis problems by innovating constraints and flows to eliminate pessimism and ensure robust performance for integrated circuits.

What you'll do

  • Perform timing sign-off and develop STA and sign-off flows for SoC designs.
  • Manage IP and block level timing constraints from synthesis through final sign-off.
  • Collaborate with RTL designers to analyze design intent and clock structures.
  • Work with CAD teams to develop and optimize timing analysis flows.
  • Coordinate with Physical Design teams to achieve and close timing requirements.
  • Develop plans and methods to verify internal timing constraints.
  • Innovate timing constraints and flow to eliminate pessimism or fallouts in analysis.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering.
  • Proven knowledge of the ASIC design timing closure flow and methodology.
  • 2+ years of experience in writing ASIC timing constraints and timing closure.
  • Expertise in STA tools (Primetime) and flow, including timing corners, modes, process variations, and signal integrity.
  • Hands-on experience in timing/SDC constraints generation and management.
  • Proficiency in scripting languages such as Tcl and Perl.
  • Familiarity with synthesis, DFT, and backend related methodology and tools.
  • Strong communication skills for collaborating with diverse teams.
