TL;DR · Timing Design Engineer

Role Posting Log in to save

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 design intent, work with CAD teams to develop flows, and partner with physical design teams to achieve quality timing constraints. To succeed, you must utilize Primetime tools, manage SDC constraints, and write scripts in Tcl and Perl. The role requires expertise in timing corners, modes, process variations, and signal integrity issues. You will solve complex technical challenges by innovating flow methods to eliminate pessimism or fallouts during the critical timing analysis phase of SoC development.

What you'll do

  • Perform timing sign-off and manage SoC design timing across all stages of development.
  • Develop and maintain STA and sign-off flows to ensure high-quality results.
  • Create and manage IP and block level timing constraints for synthesis through sign-off.
  • Collaborate with RTL designers to analyze design intent and clock structures.
  • Work with CAD teams to develop tools and improve flow efficiency.
  • Partner with the Physical Design team to achieve final timing closure.
  • Develop plans and methods to verify internal timing constraints.
  • Innovate timing constraints and flows to reduce pessimism in analysis.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering.
  • Proven knowledge of 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.
