Principle/Staff STA Engineer

What You'll Do

• Lead and perform comprehensive Static Timing Analysis (STA) at the block, sub-system, and SoC levels for cutting-edge semiconductor designs. * Develop, integrate, and maintain timing constraints (SDC) for various design hierarchies, ensuring accuracy and coverage. * Identify, debug, and resolve complex timing violations, including setup, hold, and other advanced timing checks (e.g., OCV, AOCV, EMIR, X-talk). * Collaborate closely with design, DFT, physical design, and verification teams to ensure timing closure and meet project deadlines. * Develop and implement efficient STA methodologies, flows, and scripts to improve productivity and turnaround time. * Perform timing sign-off activities and generate comprehensive timing reports for internal and external reviews. * Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior engineers, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement. * Stay updated with industry trends, best practices, and new technologies in STA and physical design. --- Job Qualifications * Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics Engineering, or a related field. * For Staff Engineer: 6+ years of relevant experience in Static Timing Analysis (STA) on complex SoC designs. * For Principle Engineer: 9+ years of relevant experience in Static Timing Analysis (STA) with a proven track record of leading and driving timing closure for multiple successful tape-outs. * Expert-level proficiency with industry-standard STA tools (e.g., Synopsys PrimeTime, Cadence Tempus). * Strong understanding of timing analysis concepts, including clock tree synthesis, critical path analysis, signal integrity, and process variations. * Hands-on experience with SDC (Synopsys Design Constraints) generation, debugging, and optimization. * Proficiency in scripting languages such as Tcl, Perl, and Python for flow automation and data analysis. * Solid understanding of physical design concepts, including floorplanning, placement, routing, and their impact on timing. * Experience with various technology nodes (e.g., 28nm, 16nm, 7nm, 5nm). * Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and debugging skills. * Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively in a global team environment. * Experience in a leadership or mentorship role (for Principle Engineer).
