Job Description:

The Full Chip Static Timing Analysis (STA) Engineer is responsible for ensuring that ASIC meets its performance targets and timing requirements across all operating conditions.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Full-Chip Timing Sign-off: Own the final timing closure for ASIC, performing quality checks across all process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) corners

  • Constraint Development: Author, validate, and maintain SDC for various modes, including functional and test modes (Scan, MBIST,ATPG)

  • Analyze foundry guidelines and work with the team to incorporate sign off corners, margins, and derates into timing analysis flows and methodologies

  • Advanced Timing Concepts: Deep knowledge of On-Chip Variation (AOCV/POCV), Signal Integrity (crosstalk), and IR-drop aware STA

  • Multi-Mode Multi-Corner (MMMC) Analysis: Manage and analyze hundreds of timing scenarios to ensure reliability across diverse operating environments

  • Timing ECOs: Automate, generate and implement ECOs to fix setup, hold, and transition violations  in the design cycle

  • Scripting: High proficiency in Tcl (primary for EDA tools), Python, and Perl for automating analysis flows and data mining.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with RTL, Physical Design, and DFT teams to resolve complex timing issues and define guard-banding requirements

  • Analyze and understand the tradeoffs between power/performance and area goals to drive them into overall chip implementation flows

  • Document best practices and lessons learned to drive continuous improvements in future projects

Qualifications: 

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer engineering

  • A minimum of 12 years of hands-on experience in ASIC STA and timing constraints development, timing closure with Cadence or Synopsys tools

  • Experience in driving timing closure by effectively managing on-chip variation derates, optimizing multi-mode multi-corner constraints

  • Well versed with scripting languages like TCL and Python, PERL, or Shell

  • Strong problem solving skills with attention to every technical aspect

  • Be a strong team player with clear and precise communication skills

  • EDA Tool Expertise: Expert proficiency in industry-standard sign-off tool
