About the Job

Requirements

  • Experience with high-complexity silicon in advanced technology nodes.
  • Familiarity with timing constraint development for hierarchical designs.
  • Knowledge of clock tree planning and implementation for systems-on-chip.
  • Experience with timing engineering change order creation and final timing signoff.
  • Proficiency with static timing analysis tools such as PrimeTime, TCM, and Tempus, and scripting languages such as Tcl and Perl.
  • Proficiency with synthesis and audit tools including DC-T, Genus, Fishtail, VCLP, and Formality.
  • Strong understanding of application-specific integrated circuit design flows, including register-transfer-level design and place-and-route.
  • A minimum of a Bachelor's degree and 12 years of related experience, a Master's degree and 10 years of related experience, or a PhD and 7 years of related experience.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and validate timing constraints for intricate system-on-chip designs.
  • Perform static timing analysis using industry-standard tools such as PrimeTime and Tempus.
  • Perform synthesis and run static audits for clock-domain crossing, reset-domain crossing, low power, and equivalence on high-speed, complex digital and mixed-signal blocks.
  • Define and implement timing signoff methodologies, including process corners, derates, and uncertainties.
  • Conduct pre-route timing checks and quality-of-results analysis.
  • Automate timing analysis processes using Tcl or Perl.
  • Provide guidance on clock tree synthesis and optimization for energy-efficient designs.
  • Ensure compliance with timing signoff checklists and criteria.
  • Generate timing engineering change orders for timing closure.
  • Drive timing closure for complex intellectual property and application-specific integrated circuit blocks.

Desired Qualifications

  • Direct or indirect experience with register-transfer-level design is a plus.
  • Post-graduate coursework is highly desirable.

About the Company

Broadcom

Designs chips and software for data centers

Broadcom designs chips and sells infrastructure software for the companies that run large data centers, telecom networks and corporate IT. Its custom AI processors, built with cloud companies, and its Ethernet switch chips move and process data inside the computer clusters that train AI models. The chip business also makes parts for broadband, wireless, storage and industrial equipment, sold to device makers and cloud operators, while VMware software lets businesses run private clouds and is sold by subscription. Broadcom took its current form in 2016, when Avago Technologies, formed in 2005 from Agilent's chip unit, bought Broadcom Corporation, and it is based in Palo Alto, California.
