About the Job

Requirements

  • At least 2 years of work experience.
  • Knowledge of the ASIC design timing-closure flow and methodology.
  • At least 2 years of experience writing ASIC timing constraints and performing timing closure.
  • Expertise with static timing analysis (STA) tools, specifically PrimeTime, and related flow.
  • Knowledge of timing corners and modes.
  • Hands-on experience generating and managing timing and Synopsys Design Constraints (SDC).
  • Proficiency in Tcl and Perl scripting languages.
  • Familiarity with synthesis, design for test (DFT), and back-end methodology and tools.

Responsibilities

  • Perform timing sign-off and develop static timing analysis (STA) and sign-off flows.
  • Own full-chip, intellectual property (IP), and block-level timing constraints, including regular and custom timing requirements, from synthesis through sign-off to achieve sign-off-quality constraints.
  • Work closely with RTL designers to understand design intent and clock structure, with computer-aided design (CAD) teams to understand and develop flows, and with the physical design team to close and sign off timing.
  • Develop ideas and plans to verify timing constraints.
  • Innovate timing constraints and flows to facilitate timing closure and address potential pessimism or fallouts in timing analysis.

Desired Qualifications

  • B.Sc. or M.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering.
