We are looking for an experienced Static Timing Analysis (STA) Engineer to drive pre-layout and post-layout timing analysis and ensure timing closure across block-level and full-chip designs. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in timing signoff, SDC constraints, MCMM analysis, variation methodologies, and clock analysis, with hands-on experience using Synopsys PrimeTime and Tcl.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities

• Perform pre-layout and post-layout STA for block-level and full-chip designs.
• Drive timing analysis and signoff across multiple design stages through tapeout.
• Develop, review, and optimize SDC timing constraints.
• Perform MCMM (Multi-Corner Multi-Mode) timing analysis and signoff.
• Analyze and address setup and hold timing violations to achieve complete timing closure.
• Perform OCV, AOCV, and POCV analysis for accurate timing signoff.
• Conduct detailed clock analysis, including clock latency, skew, uncertainty, and timing interactions.
• Identify timing bottlenecks and work closely with RTL, Physical Design, DFT, and other engineering teams to resolve issues.
• Develop and maintain Tcl-based automation for STA analysis and reporting.
• Support full-chip timing signoff activities and ensure design readiness for tapeout.
• Collaborate with cross-functional and geographically distributed engineering teams throughout the implementation cycle.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Strong hands-on experience in Static Timing Analysis (STA).
• Expertise in Synopsys PrimeTime.
• Strong knowledge of SDC constraints and timing methodologies.
• Experience with setup/hold analysis and timing closure.
• Hands-on experience with MCMM, OCV, AOCV, and POCV.
• Strong Tcl scripting skills.
