About This Role

  • Key Responsibilities: Lead the architecture, design, and integration of SoC-wide clocking networks including clock generation (PLLs, DLLs), distribution, gating, and domain crossing strategies.
  • Define and optimize power-performance-area (PPA) trade-offs for complex clocking and circuit topologies.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with RTL, physical design, verification, and DFT teams to deliver end-to-end SoC clocking and custom IP.
  • Own the technical roadmap and methodology improvements for clocking, timing closure, and custom circuits.
  • Mentor and technically guide a team of junior and senior designers.
  • Review and approve specifications, schematics, simulations, and post-layout signoff for high-reliability silicon meeting clock and circuit specs.
  • Partner with foundries, EDA vendors, and internal silicon validation teams to ensure robust silicon correlation and yield .

Qualifications

  • Required Qualifications: M.Tech / B.Tech / Ph.D. in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or related field. 15–20 years of hands-on experience in SoC clocking, custom analog/digital circuit design, and timing architecture.
  • Proven expertise in clock tree synthesis (CTS) , clock gating, low-power techniques, and glitch-free clock domain crossing.
  • Deep experience with PLL/DLL architecture, design, and integration in SoCs.
  • Strong background in transistor-level design , spice simulations, and post-layout validation.
  • Familiarity with EDA tools and scripting (TCL, Perl, Python).
  • Experience leading multi-disciplinary teams and working across global sites.
  • Excellent communication, documentation, and project leadership skills.

Nice to Have

  • Background in high-speed interface IPs , power management circuits, or custom memory design.
  • Experience with Server, AI/ML, or networking SoCs .
  • Exposure to Silicon bring-up, characterization, and debug .
  • Previous patents or publications in the area of clocking or circuit design.
