Job Description

Key Responsibilities:

1. Timing Analysis & Closure

- Perform setup, hold, and skew analysis across Full-Chip, Sub-system, and IP levels.

- Achieve timing closure by resolving violations and optimizing paths.

2. Constraint Development

- Define and validate timing constraints (clocks, I/O delays, false/multi-cycle paths).

- Integrate constraints from multiple IPs for hierarchical STA.

3. Tool Usage & Flow Integration

- Use STA tools like Synopsys PrimeTime, Cadence Tempus, or equivalent.

4. Integrate STA into the overall design flow and automate processes for efficiency.

- Provide expert guidance on STA methodologies, including setup and hold time analysis, clock domain crossing, and multi-cycle paths for Full Chip, Sub-system and complex IP timing closure.

- Define and implement timing constraints from scratch such as clock definitions, input/output delays, and path constraints for Full-Chip, Sub-system to ensure accurate timing analysis.

- Able to integrate the existing timing constraints from various IP for Full-Chip/Sub-system timing analysis.

- Deep knowledge of STA tools (such as Synopsys PrimeTime, Cadence Tempus, or Mentor Graphics' ModelSim) including their capabilities, limitations, and best practices.

- Guide the integration of STA tools into the overall design flow, ensuring compatibility and optimal performance.

- Oversee the process of achieving timing closure, addressing any timing violations and guiding optimizations to meet performance goals.

Primary Skills:

- Deep Technical Knowledge:
- In-depth understanding of STA concepts, EDA tools, and methodologies.
- Experience in timing constraints development, timing closure for Full-Chip/Sub-system to meet the design performance.
- Problem-Solving Skills: Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities to tackle complex timing issues.
- Communication Skills: Ability to communicate complex technical concepts effectively to various stakeholders.
- Leadership and Mentoring: Experience in leading teams and mentoring less experienced engineers in STA practice

Secondary skills:

- Design flow management
- Able to improve the execution efficiency through flow automation and other value adds
- Cross functional co-ordination
- Work closely with other teams, such as RTL design, Physical design, design, verification, and manufacturing, to ensure seamless timing closure of physical design. E

Educational Qualifications:

Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in:Electrical Engineering/Electronics & Communication Engineering/VLSI Design/Computer Engineering or related fields
