Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced Staff Engineer – Static Timing Analysis (STA) to lead timing analysis and signoff activities for complex SoC and advanced-node designs. In this role, you will drive timing closure across multiple blocks and full-chip designs, collaborate with cross-functional implementation teams, and contribute to STA methodology improvements. The ideal candidate should possess strong expertise in timing signoff, MMMC analysis, and advanced timing optimization techniques.

What You’ll Do

Lead block-level and full-chip STA activities including setup, hold, recovery, removal, and noise analysis
Drive timing closure across multiple modes and corners using MMMC methodologies
Analyze and debug complex timing violations in collaboration with synthesis, CTS, P&R;, and ECO teams
Define and validate timing constraints including SDC generation, timing exceptions, and clock definitions
Perform timing signoff using industry-standard STA tools and methodologies
Drive ECO implementation and timing optimization with focus on performance, power, and area trade-offs




Contribute to automation, methodology enhancement, and flow optimization initiatives

What We’re Looking For

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or VLSI-related discipline
7+ years of experience in STA, timing closure, or Physical Design signoff roles
Strong understanding of STA concepts including OCV/AOCV/POCV, SI/noise analysis, clocking methodologies, and timing exceptions
Hands-on experience with Synopsys PrimeTime and advanced timing signoff flows
Good understanding of synthesis, CTS, place-and-route, extraction, and ECO implementation flows
Strong scripting skills in Tcl, Perl, Python, or Shell for automation and productivity improvement

Positive to Have

Experience with advanced-node technologies such as 7nm, 5nm, or below
Exposure to low-power design methodologies including UPF/CPF and power-aware STA
Experience in full-chip timing convergence and succe
