Responsibilities

• Block level and/or full chip timing analysis throughout the life cycle of a project, from early investigation to final implementation and tapeout
• Develop our timing methodology and infrastructure to support the timing flow from RTL synthesis to PnR and timing closure
• Develop and maintain key STA checks and associated sign-offs for our CPUs
• Develop and maintain our Clock-Domain-Crossing check for our CPUs
• Work with architects and logic designers to generate block and full chip timing constraints
• Work with system and technology teams to define analysis scenarios and margining strategies
• Develop and maintain a rigorous and comprehensive signoff methodology to guarantee high quality robust silicon
• Partner with physical design teams to close and sign off the designs

Requirements

• Hands-on experience in ASIC timing constraints generation and timing closure
• Expertise and advanced knowledge of industry standard timing EDA tools
• Deep understanding and experience in timing closure of various functional and test modes
• Expertise in timing convergence issues associated with deep-sub micron processes (crosstalk delay, noise glitch, POCV, IR-STA) for high performance design
• Proficient in scripting languages (csh/bash, TCL and Python)
• Ability and taste for solving complex problems, efficient written and verbal communication, excellent organization skills
• Self starter and highly motivated
• Ability to work cross-functionally with various teams and be productive under aggressive schedules

Education and Experience

• PhD, Master’s Degree or Bachelor’s Degree in EE, EECS or CE.
