STA Design Engineer

Position: STA Design Engineer

Location: San Jose CA (Day-1 Onsite)

Duration: Long Term

Must have/Primary skills: Fullchip timing, SDC changes back to block level, Block/Full chip SDC development, Static Timing Analysis, Primetime/Tempus.

What you’ll be doing:

· Being a member of design team who oversees fullchip SDCs and works with physical design and DFT teams to close fullchip timing in multiple timing modes.

· Option to also do block level RTL design or block or top-level IP integration.

· Helping develop efficient methodology to promote block level SDCs to fullchip, and to bring fullchip SDC changes back to block level.

· Helping develop and apply methodology to ensure correctness and quality of SDCs as early as possible in design cycle.

· Reviewing block level SDCs and clocking diagrams and mentor other RTL design owners on SDC development.

· Creating fullchip clocking diagrams and related documentation.

What We Are Looking For:

· Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering with 7+ years of ASIC or related experience or Master’s Degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering with 5+ years of ASIC or related experience.

· Experience with block/full chip SDC development in functional and test modes.

· Experience in Static Timing Analysis and prior working experience with STA tools like PrimeTime/Tempus.

· Understanding of related digital design concepts (eg. clocking and async boundaries).

· Experience with synthesis tools (eg. Synopsys DC/DCG/FC), Verilog/System Verilog programming.

· Experience with constraint analyzer tools such as TCM (Timing Constraint Manager from Synopsys) and CCD (Conformal Constraint Designer from Cadence).

· Experience with Spyglass CDC and glitch analysis.

· Experience using Formal Verification: Synopsys Formality and Cadence LEC.

· Experience with scripting languages such as Python, Perl, or TCL.

We are looking for strong hands-on experience in 3 areas

SDC:/Design Constraints and STA: Timing Analysis (PrimeTime): Very good knowledge in writing Timing Constraints with these tools

Digital Circuits: Person should be very strong in Design Fundamentals so can make right changes in RTL as needed

Bridge: He needs to act as a bridge between Design & Physical Design team and provide solutions to meet timings through constraints

PD Tools: Nice to have but not must have floor-planning and P&R flow work
